Veloflex releases new "carbon safe" clincher tyres

[robertbb]

So to summarise, @Serkie measures his Master 25's at 24.4 on a 20mm internal rim.

These tyres are thin A-F.

Gen 2 is 21mm, I'm just doubtful as the rim is half a mm wider than mine at 20.5mm and my Masters measure 28mm at 75psi/50km old.

Those 25mm Masters, or 28's?

I don't mean to troll or offend.

But the same 25mm tyre simply shouldn't measure the same on a 14c rim as a 20c rim - even allowing for 1-2mm of stretch.

What I was getting at RE: the Italians is their reputation for poor QC and poor tolerances. It's quite possible you are both right and simply have tyres from different batches

Italians design really great stuff, but their manufacturing (and warranty/support) falls short. I include Campagnolo in this (lately). Some of their stuff I bought in the last few years the finish was absolutely dog-awful and it got sent back.

Funny you classify a whole country production QC as a whole, and still want to be taken serious. Troll no, uber troll.
