I would like to get some input on them...I am buying a new bike next week and this time I want to go all out and accessorize! Plus I saw a black/yellow Madone in the shop with the black/yellow tires and it just looked so nice.
Oh, by the way...I am LOVING the new look of the TE online shop. I don't know for how long this has been going on, but I just noticed it today.
I'm getting the pink ones but I know I shouldn't. My shop gawd says they're awesome, he has them. He just didn't think they'd be good for me because I commute and tend to run into lots of "crap" and they aren't super flat resistant in icky conditions. That's all he told me though.
Got 'em in pink:

I like them very much. They've been fine, flat-wise (I've had one flat in about 1,500 miles on them, and it was a big piece of glass). But the main reason I like them is because they have a plush, grippy feel. I now have them on a carbon bike, but previously I had them on my old aluminum bike, and the first ride I took after switching from my Hutchinson Carbon Comps was revelatory. It felt like a different bike.
I think they're a good choice.
I have the non-folding ones. I love them, and they are indeed very resistant, and perform well in the rain.
And they come in blue. :)
Yep. Had the pink and now have white. :)
They're not super durable, but not super wimpy, either. I have had stuff (metal, glass) get stuck in the tire that I didn't notice until I got home because it didn't go all the way through and cause a flat. Before I retired my last set, they had acquired a lot of little cuts. One big cut happened during a ride and I had to use a dollar bill for a boot, but other than that the small cuts weren't a problem.
