In my experience, the Cypres was very prone to puncture. I had more
than one flat for every 100 miles I rode with that tire. In my book,
that is completely unacceptable.
On the other hand, I've been riding the Hetre on my Saluki for >500
miles now, and have yet to flat, even with a good amount of

Thanks, John, for the correction.
Regarding Bicycle Quarterly's tire tests, the statistical analysis of
our results showed that the differences we found were real, not some
artifacts of changes in conditions or in rider position. Anybody who
wants to criticize the results of the tests needs to lo

Hi Brian,
That is one nice bike :-)
Your comment that this is your first road bike after 18 years of mountain
biking has made me decide to pull the trigger.
What brooks model have you installed?
The saddle color is a good match to your bike.

Hello
I would like to get some medium/large panniers for some light touring

for a bike build:

Gosh I'm still undecided if I should get the Cypres or the Hetres for
my wife's Bleriot. She mainly rides on the weekends and I want to get
her nice comfy fast tires. I hear so many great reviews for both

That's interesting. I've not noticed any downside to the TourGuard
