Vredestein Fortezza Tricomp tyres in 25c?
Postby SheikYerbouti » Thu Nov 27, 2014 9:10 pm
I'm 90kg and ride Schwalbe Duranos in 25c and they're good - no punctures in a year. Lately they're feeling a little sluggish though.
I'm thinking at my weight 25c is the best, but can't find these tyres in that width. Am I missing something?

Fortezza Senso All Weather look to be a replacement though

The Quattro's are more durable if you can find them.SheikYerbouti wrote:I keep reading about how good the Fortezza Tricomps are and want to try some on my spare wheels.

Ha. Almost jinx. I got a pair of 25s, a podium water bottle, warm socks and winter windproof gloves (ready for next year) for $97...CXCommuter wrote:I hate all you guys- Ribble just fleeced me of $105 for a set (23's), some new socks and a new waterbottle
Good to hear! Looking forward to trying them compared to my Duranos.death valley 69 wrote:I use Senso All weather 25's and find them even better than the old Fortezza TriComps . Grip good , roll well , comfortable and good puncture protection.

Now I have a Freccia on the rear and don't think much of it. Heavier, feels slower and already squaring off.
Will probably give the Senso's a go next.

So what do I do? Run at the pressures I was using or run something like 115/125 and see how it goes? I usually defer to manufacturers on these things but they seem high pressures for 25mm tyres.

I think I'll leave them as is for the rest of the week to get over the placebo effect and then decide if I want to try different pressures.
I'm a happy Chappy

Mine came by standard Royal Mail parcel. I suspect it's a bit hit and miss with delivery times at this time of year plus you might have hit the weekend so it ends up being slower to get out of the UK - hang in there I'm sure they're not far awaySheikYerbouti wrote:I think I ordered from Ribble the day after you.
