I like that feeling also, the roadie is going to feel extra nimble and fast

Can't complain about that. I'm still going to put one on the front as funds allow.

If you want to extend the handling life, put it in a trainer with someone pedaling, and belt sander to shave off the squares to get it turning into corners good as new =D

These hold air well and are 18-28 so you can use them on most 700C tyre sizes. This should help to reduce the number of tubes types you have to keep.holmesy wrote:What's the good oil on 25/28c inner tubes?

So I am about to order an inner tube, but thinking ahead if this Specialized Roubaix Pro tyres develop a habit of making my inner tube go bang and as such I go marathons or something, does it matter what inner tube I order now? Is there a preferred inner tube, should I go with a specialized similar to what I have now or something else? I want them to be compatible with the current tyre(you only get one more chance roubaix pros!) and possibly the marathons
What's the good oil on 25/28c inner tubes?
