Yes, they run true to size. I love them. Probably one of the best Hetre substitutes in 700C (not that I have actually tried that many, but how many folding, slick, puncture-protection-belt-less 40mm tires are there? Marathon Racers, but they seem to run small...
This place claims to still have the EZ rides, in 40 and 45mm: http://www.bikepartsplace.com/discount/clincher-tire-kwick-roller-ez-ride/ I have no experience with this seller. I like the EZ rides so much that I am tempted to get them in the 45mm size as well, but am currently pouring money into a 650B project [with Hetres] ;) Cheers, Gernot On Mar 24, 5:43 am, Philip Williamson <[email protected]> wrote: > Are the Kenda Kwick Roller EZs true to size at 40mm?
