Of course.
For those that care the tyres are Hutchinson Fusion 2 kevlars and the fixie has Conti Ultragators. Not really done enough mileage on the former to know about puncture resistance but the Contis seem fine. |

| Somebody asked about Michelin Krylions - great tyres, but Michelin have had a production glitch and supplies are rare at the moment - probably the best combinatin of grip, performance and puncture resistance - I've even raced on the them on Belgium's finest roads. Gatorskins are OK, but aren't too grippy in the wet and are prone to cuts. Whilst Armadillos are puncture resistant, they don't offer much else apart from weight! I rode the Guildford Sportive on Sunday in very wet conditions around the Surrey Hills - plenty of gravel and flints around but the ProRace3s were excellent - lots of grip and no punctures, which is pretty good. If you can fit them 25mm tyres offer loads more comfort and grip for minor weight penalty. |

I like 23s just so that I don't have to pop the brake lever release thingy to get the wheel out. How lazy is that?
Seriously, I had a 25 (can't remember which one) on the front for a while and it just felt spongey |
