QUOTE(Sky.Live @ Feb 26 2012, 11:06 PM) I saw conti 4000 just now too, retail price at 189 right? you do have to remember that detonators and GP4000's are in a totally different category... while detonators are training tyres... GP4000's are race rubbers...just got a maxxis detonator.. really feels rough.. i hope the riding comfortableness would not be too bad..  training rubber will focus more on durability and long term reliability while race tires might forgo those factors in favor of weight savings... maxxis does have race tyres which starts with columbiere and then xenith and i think another 2 models depending on whether you want slicks or threaded ones... Added on February 27, 2012, 10:11 am QUOTE(ryan3721 @ Feb 26 2012, 11:25 PM) there are some differences between 4000 and 4000s (newer). It is a bit weird. 4000s come default with black chilli and slightly lower weight than 4000s (-10gr).4000s with the new Black Chili Compound rolling resistance is reduced by 26%, grip is increased by 30% and mileage is increased by 5%. The one I saw posted on facebook is 4000s asking price is RM180 Found this post: apparently the writer got confused and got the 4000 (without S) for Rm152 Link And 4000 has also black chilli on their foldable black version but is heavier by 10gr... logic tells me 4000s is not much of a sensible choice for spending extra RM30....furthermore, both has the same thread design, 3 plies, 330tpi case, and their own puncture protection... http://www.conti-online.com/generator/www/...ckchili_en.html This post has been edited by butthead: Feb 27 2012, 10:13 AM |

QUOTE(Sky.Live @ Feb 27 2012, 10:23 AM) what's the differences between race tyre and training one? actually I am changing the tire to prepare for my kenyir triathlon From what I understand so far, the race tires are supposed to be very lightweight with good grips, but you sacrifice on durability. The training tires are supposed to last longer. |

training tyres are built to last long miles sacrificing light weight and maybe certain ride qualities...
race tyres are built to maximize efficiency (reduce rolling resistance, more cornering grip, etc) and concentrates on reducing rotating mass... usually, if budget persists... a 2nd set of race tubular wheels would be the best option... with the advent of road tubeless... it is becoming a intermediate between clincher and tubulars... and with systems like Fulcrum 2 way fits... you can opt between tubeless and clincher tyres without owning another set of wheels... stan's won't be cheap though if you go down road tubeless route... |

time for some real ones...
madfibre wheels...  fully carbon constructed...    how it looks on a bike...   specs, 12 spoke front, 18 spoke rear, 60mm rim height front 66mm rear, sub 1300 grams, white industries hub internals i heard... http://www.madfiber.com/clincher-ceramic-r...s-article?tcc=1 a light description of how they made the wheels... http://www.bikeradar.com/news/article/mad-...rst-look-26205/ think Treknology has it... but a price of above RM10k scares most away... Added on February 27, 2012, 12:23 pmmy personal favourites... Paired spokes Rolf Prima wheels... the carbon Ares 4  alloy Vigor  and the super crazy lacking of spokes wheels.. the tt85...   unfortunately, not available here.
