Favorite Narrow Front Tires ??
Quote | Reply
I have a new (to me) Campy Vento wheel. It has a 19mm rim width and should, for aero purposes, be paired with a narrow tire.

I have TUFO tubulars on my track bike but I am leery of using the tubular/clincher version on my road bike due to a fear of being stranded following a flat. Yes, I know about the sealant - maybe I just need some convincing.

So, what 18, 19 or 20mm front tires have you all tied and did would you recommend them for a front tire to be used only in time trial and tris by a 210 lbs Clydesdale?

Thanks. David K

I'm, a user of the Tufo tub/clinch tire and have had great luck with it. The sealant has worked when I needed it (only on the 'cross bike) and the tire has been amazing in terms of durability. The Jet Special would be the way to go on the Vento I'd think. Pretty good tire and at about $60, not horrifically priced.

The C Elite Jet is nice too, but a race day only price.
