I notice these are popular in the states- anyone here use them?
Can you actually buy them here?
I wonder how they compare to the Schwalbe Durano Plus or Continental Gatorskin…
The Specialized marketing say they are better to other kevlar tyres on the market.
I was going to post this in your ‘tight tyres’ thread but for some reason didn’t. I’ve found the specialized tyres to be really loose, so probably a good option for your fulcrum rims.
I used fatboy armadillos on my MTB… they were fine.
are you kidding? when i tried putting on some armadillos it took two of us and like half an hour of fucking around. In the end i had two very sore thumbs… only to find out that the tube had sat in the rim properly (after it exploded)… so i had to repeat the process.
Armadillo’s are good, however as mentioned before, doesn’t provide the best riding experience.
