<p>Just trying to get a feel</p>
<p>I am 100% tubular for road and CX race but how many people do you think still use clincher tires (percentage)?</p>
<p>Cheers</p>

Hi, I'm looking for a dry-conditions, rear (clincher) race/pit/practice tire for use this year. I don't know whether many of the courses I'll be racing on in dry weather will feature soft dirt, sand, or tall grass, so I'd like to find something that is capable of handling a variety of terrain. I'd like to go with a tire with a larger contact patch, such as a 34 or 35 (listed). I've read (and re-read) Andrew's clincher reviews from several issues back, plus I've searched around on the 'Net a wee…
Hi, I'm looking for a dry-conditions, rear (clincher) race/pit/practice tire for use this year. I don't know whether many of the courses I'll be racing on in dry weather will feature soft dirt, sand, or tall grass, so I'd like to find something that is capable of handling a variety of terrain. I'd like to go with a tire with a larger contact patch, such as a 34 or 35 (listed). I've read (and re-read) Andrew's clincher reviews from several issues back, plus I've searched around on the 'Net a wee bit, too.<br />
<br />
The tires I'm kicking around are:<br />
<br />
- Geax Mezcal 34 (<a href="http://cyclocrossworld.stores.yahoo.net/geaxmezcal.html">http://cyclocrossworld.stores.yahoo.net/geaxmezcal.html</a>)<br />
- Challenge Grifo 32 (<a href="http://cyclocrossworld.stores.yahoo.net/chgrcl70.html">http://cyclocrossworld.stores.yahoo.net/chgrcl70.html</a>)<br />
- Challenge Grifo XS 32 (<a href="http://cyclocrossworld.stores.yahoo.net/chgrxsdrycoc.html">http://cyclocrossworld.stores.yahoo.net/chgrxsdrycoc.html</a>)<br />
- Continental Speed 35 (<a href="http://www.conti-online.com/generator/www/de/en/continental/bicycle/general/news/eurobike09_en.html">http://www.conti-online.com/generator/www/de/en/continental/bicycle/general/news/eurobike09_en.html</a>)<br />
- Continental Race 35 (<a href="http://www.conti-online.com/generator/www/de/en/continental/bicycle/general/news/eurobike09_en.html">http://www.conti-online.com/generator/www/de/en/continental/bicycle/general/news/eurobike09_en.html</a>)<br />
<br />
The Continental tires aren't yet available and it is unclear when they will be available. The Challenge tires both list a little smaller than the others; however, Challenge historically is one of the few manufacturers who lists tires as large as they actually are; hence, the Challenge 32s may really be larger than a few of the other options. The Grifo XS looks like a great option; however, the knobs that line either side of the tread are a bit small, which gives me pause. I'm really leaning towards the Mezcals. They're of reasonable size, versatile, and cost less than the Challenge models, but I'd like to get some other opinions about dry-condition rear clincher options before deciding.<br />

Thanks. who uses a tire pressure gauge?tag:cowbell.cxmagazine.com,2008-07-15:1198434:Topic:43212008-07-15T21:55:28.385Zandrewhttps://cowbell.cxmagazine.com/profile/cyclocross
okay, so I've got a 15 year old zefal husky floor pump and almost thirty years of racing experience. I've thought I've had reasonably calibrated fingers and can gauge tire pressure pretty well.<br />
<br />
but for $5 at a bike swap, I bought a digital tire pressure gauge made by Slime. I took it home, and tested all my wheels. Mountain bike tires - 18 psi. 'Cross clinchers - 24 psi. Road tires, 85 psi. Hmm. Seems pretty low I thought. Must be a lemon. So I ignored the gauge and continued believing my…

Hmm. Seems pretty low I thought. Must be a lemon. So I ignored the gauge and continued believing my zefal pump.<br />
<br />
Then the other day at the LBS, I decided to buy another gauge (same model) to see how far off the original (bad) gauge was. Funny thing, it's exactly the same.<br />
<br />
So now I'm stumped. Either my buddy zefal and I are way off, or slime's gauges are consistently wrong. Not that it really matters - I will ride the pressure I ride anyway, but it's interesting to compare to pressures of others, of pros, etc.<br />
<br />
So, anyone use a separate gauge? Any experience with these cheapo digital gauges? Anyone use gauges religiously, as opposed to the pinch technique? reviewing a pile 'o tires.tag:cowbell.cxmagazine.com,2008-04-12:1198434:Topic:2032008-04-12T07:45:18.744Zandrewhttps://cowbell.cxmagazine.com/profile/cyclocross
So we've gotten a bunch of tires that we've been testing, and I've been surprised actually at the results so far - weights, widths, and of course, the ride.<br />

Curious to know what your favorite tire is, in which size, in what condition, and why.
