Hello,

I am lookig for a pair of durable tyres for clincher with gum walls.

Would love the Veloflex Master 25s but too many reports say they get flats easily.

Any opinions?

I am finding the challange strada bianca's to be poor with grip. Also I have not found them to be that great at reisting punctures. I had high hopes but they have disapointed me. The lack grip is the main issue. Vittoria Tyres seem far better in this department.

That's interesting. Been looking forward to try the Paris-Roubaix. Maybe the Strada Bianca is using the harder rubber compound of the Almanzos also, for durability? (Almanzos have been my winter tyre and the file tread is keeping up surprisingly well)
