i wanted to love the schwalbe stelvios, i really did, but i just went through my third set - and like all the others the sidewalls shredded.

it happened first to DH, just plain blew out so he had to sag in at 75 miles of a century. then mine blew out going to work one day. so i decided to buy just one more set to put on brand new for el tour de tucson - they're the perfect color match to my bike. well, that was a month ago, i've ridden maybe a half dozen times since then, and i just noticed a big ol' bubble on the sidewall. i'm through with them. sure wish conti still had their gran prix 4000 t-mobile magenta line!
