What Tubulars for PX 82 / 101
Quote | Reply
I running planet x 82 front and 101 rear currently with 22mm Conti Comps. I've been happy with the set up as I've had no punctures. They tubular are going to need replacing soon and wondering what would give me similar durability and a little more speed. Options I had in mind where Conti GP 4000, Conti attack/force, Schwalbe Utremo HT or Zipp Tangente 21 front 23 rear. The latex tube in the Schwalbe and Zipp should give a bit more speed vs the aero claims to the Conti GP4000 and Attack.

In the past I've not had a great experience with Vittoria's with lots of punctures in races, hence the move to the Conti Comp and not on the list of options.

Can't go wrong sticking with Conti.
I have the podium, good grip [especially in the wet], durable.

Thanks, I had looked at the Podium, thinking about 19 on the front. Being good in the wet is a real positive too.

Wow, I surprised at the lack of opinion and advice.
Extra info if it helps is I'm riding a Titanflex, 72kgs (165lbs) and will race everthing from sprint to Ironman on the same set up.

I know you said you are staying away from Vittoria but I've been riding Corsa Evo EX (21mm) on my 808s for the past two years with no flats. Great tire IMHO. I'm 78 kgs.

Thanks, so maybe Vittoria evo Corsa could be on the list. I know that Vittoria make the Zipp Tangents, not sure if they are faster, but the tangents are meant to be aero, so might be.
