650's in colors?

Triathlon Forum

OK, so I am a woman and a triathlete. I want 650 tires with the great colors they make in 700’s

My two year old QR Kilo came with them, but those tires are not made anymore.

I have searched and cannot find something with say black/yellow. Really wanted Grand Prix 3000, but those only come in black.

If you know where to get colored 650’s lemme know!

I was in a LBS last night and saw yellow 650 tubulars,cant remember what brand they were,let me know if you need tubulars and i will go check for a brand name

Check out the Hutchinson clinchers from Hutchinson at Supergo.com or if you are interested in Tufo’s clincher/tubular you can get colors ( tri-zone.com ).

Check this link to bike nashbar. They have Grand Prix 3000 orange tires on sale for $30 (clincher).

“OK, so I am a woman and a triathlete.”

You don’t need to make excuses to want a rad looking bike. I’m all about colored tires. It’s about the look, baby!!! Sorry, I ride 700c, can’t help with the 650s. Too bad Michelin Pro Race tires only come in black for that size. Those tires are rad!

Vredestein TriComps come in black, red, yellow, blue, and orange, with the added benefit of being great tires.

If you can’t find them locally, rattle my cage, I’m getting a boat load in next week.

Rockin’!!! I love those! How is the wear out factor? Can I change 'em without needing arms like Popeye?

Thanks!

Ya, I really wanted those, but did not see colors in 650. Thanks though. - Trisha

The TriComps go on much easier than something like a Michelin, plus they’re rated at 145psi. Wear is decent, they have a harder center section and softer compound on the sides, which makes fast cornering feel much more stable.

Hey Bobo,

Good to see you’re back. Don’t forget about the Tufo S3 Lites. I bought three in yellow from you last August (2002). I hear they’re great tires. I’m still waiting for you to send them.

I know this isn’t the place to bring it up. You’re certainly an asset to the sport and probably a great merchant. Please send the tires or a refund. You’ve got my emails.
