I'm intrigued by the TT tire's pattern but I'm very "meh" about the width and compound choices. To just say "65A" and not talk about how it stacks up to other compounds from competitors in terms of rolling resistance... that doesn't bode well IMO.

Yeah.... 26C is the smallest TT tire they make? Very weird. I wonder what it actually measures when mounted compared to 23mm conti or 24mm spec tires.

I am kind of curious about the RR part, and what that compound is compared to others.

The 26C and Tubeless does not bother me much, since that is what my SC has on it currently, being that I have the newer Bontrager R3 Tubeless tires, which are 26, instead of 25. Bontrager does have a 24 instead of 23, but I went for the 26.

They're also 120tpi, which doesn't really bode well.

I can't wait to toss these on my OISHEO wheels and try them out.

Technically Continentals are 120tpi as well. The only way they get their 300+ tpi is through layering and dubious counting.

Right...but Conti had some good compound development going...until the guys responsible left to go to Specialized/Schwalbe and/or off to start their own tire brands (not this one, I don't think).
