…I’m sitting in the stands at beautiful Lowell Field, Cotuit, enjoying a Cape Cod League playoff game between the home team Kettleers and the visiting Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox when word comes down. Dinner reservations have been made…we’re going to the Olive Garden! Uhm…okay…waiting for the punch line here…still waiting…oh, you’re serious! Just what anyone would travel 3000 miles for, to the land of lobster rolls and scallops the size of a child’s fist…frozen franchise Italian food with a bottomless salad and all the breadsticks you can eat!

Ask Nick: Prescription Lenses In The Rain, Roubaix Tire Options, And More

Written by | Wednesday, 31 December 1969

Continental Bike Tire Image

I would really like to ride road tubeless setup but the widest tires are 25mm by Hutchinson and those aren’t real 25mm when compared to other manufacturers tire widths. Currently I ride the Hutchinson Fusion 3 road tubeless tires mounted on DT Swiss 1450 wheels. I plan on participating in the 2012 Paris-Roubaix sportive (the amateur race open to those who want to ride the same route as the pros) and am wondering about tire selection. While tire choice is obviously important, if you get a chance to pre-ride at all and test pressures that could have a bigger impact on your event. But I’m a bigger fan of big tires. I inflated Delaney’s tires to 70/75 psi. Keeping in mind that I don’t want to drop lots of cash on new tubular setup use for this event, wondering if you would suggest I go back to clinchers for this event so I can mount real 25′s or 27′s. I would therefore recommend either the Michelin Pro Optimum or a set of Continental GP4000 4-Seasons in the 28-mm size. I rode the Paris-Roubaix Challenge this year and did so on Michelin Pro Optimum 25mm clinchers with no problems.
