No pro team rides Vittoria Paves anymore in spring classics, it's all Veloflex and FMB.



Really? Someone should send a correction in to cycling news for the coverage of Scheldeprijs tech. According to them and the pictures that support their claim, 8 teams on Vittoria and 8 teams on Continental. Not a mention of Veloflex.

Most if not all of the Wiggle High5 team were on Pavés too in the recent races.

two rides on Pave done.
What I like is everything except this what I don't like. And I don't like just 1 thing : ease of skid (rear) and poor tire tolerance for it ( thread loss ). If it will go as for now, will need to replace it within next 3-500km :( I "weaken" rear break twice, now it should "maybe" have some friction , but not so much... to avoid lock-out's .

I can be wrong, and have plenty of examples for that ;)
