D Hazle Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I'm looking to replace the tyres on Adam's track bike and get something a bit better than the Zaffiro slicks that came as stock on his Dolan Precursa. Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions thejanullrichdietplan Posted August 28, 2014 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I use Vittoria Diamante Pro Light. Weigh about 170g and can be inflated to 145 psi. They also do a pista / track version which is a bit lighter (although doesnt have a puncture protection strip) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Hazle Posted August 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Thanks for the responses. I went for the Diamante Pro Pista on the basis that they're currently a bit cheaper than the others. On a side note, I was amazed at the weight difference between the stock Zaffiro tyres which weigh 350g each against the 150g claimed for all of the above options - you don't need to be a weight weenie to notice a 400g difference!

D Hazle Posted August 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Blew the cost savings on Continental Supersonic inner tubes - so potentially a total weight saving of 500g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
