ultremos on a commuter? These are race tires, and they wear out very quickly. Great for crits, but not for commuting. If you like Schwalbe go for duranos.
Thanks for your unrequested feedback, but this isn’t a commuter. If it was a commuter it’d be in the post your commuter section: this is the post your roadie thread ey.
i commute on ultremos…………
Me too
Me three.
I don’t find them to be any more worn than duranos. I actually found the rubber on duranos to be pretty soft. The puncture resistance stuff is great though
Durano Plus tyres were awful for roll resistance and feel. Good for a city fixay though
Just bought some Ultremo ZX’s. On sale Wiggle, $33 each! Merry Christmas to me.
I loved the R1s. Running them at 90-95psi I felt like I could lean over an extra few degrees in corners because their handling was so good. Best when paired with a wide rim too. Anyway, back to posting roadies.
80mms relegated to the commuter

Man BMC’s look so porn. Nice.
Tempted to start a little a little piggy bank fund and wait till a nice second hand RM01 or TMR01 pops up.
plenty of RM01s around, a bloke on BNA has been trying to flog his frame off for a while, TMR01 might take a little longer to find, still kinda new-ish
wasn’t this at Show and Shine? next to my Moser/Zeus ‘twins’?
