So we have used conti comps for 20 years now for Ironman and been pretty much bombproof
Have recently gone to the corsas just cause they are newer “tech” but unsure they are any faster , in fact if u compare watt to watt v ironman bike times on same course (different year) they actually seem slower
The contis have normal tubes sown in v the corsas having latex tubes
We are racing kona next week and had pretty much decided to use the corsas, but after a week of riding Queen K the corsas have been pretty cut up but are yet to puncture
Race day is super clean though as u can ride on the road not the filthy shoulder , but the loop in town before the queen k can be pretty messy
As there is pretty much no data/testing on tubular tyres anymore, happy to take any feedback to help the decision
