    Hey Harry!
    Really enjoying and appreciating your videos. It's great to get some insight to how you pro's live your life.
    I recently got myself a new set of Aeolus pro 5 and figured I treat myself with new latex tubes, and my new favorite rubber; Specialized Turbo cotton. Never tried tubeless, but would love to give it a go sometime. Cheers from Sweden, and have a great 2023!

  • @jreitsma
    @jreitsma Před rokem +1

    Waxing is definitely the way to go; everything stays so much cleaner. I've only ever rode GP5000s and their black chili compound has been great. I'd love to try the Corsas though.

  • @fixedfrank
    @fixedfrank Před rokem

    I went tubeless all last season. No punctures! But when I changed out the worn out tire. I saw all the spots the sealant did its job. About 15 small beads a dried sealant plugs. These were Panaracer GK Slicks on my All-road bike!

  • @santiagobenites
    @santiagobenites Před rokem +2

    No tubes to pinch = bonus! Btw, my favorite Vittoria tire is the Corsa G2.0 clincher in a 28mm width. Thanks for the entertainment, Harry 😁

    @durianriders Před rokem

    Step 1: Remove disc brakes.
    Step 2: Drill holes in the frame and fork to re-install rim brakes.
    Step 3: Welcome back to the 6.8kg club
    My mate built up a 6.8kg road disc bike with pedals (Aethos) and I got to ride it down his street. Felt like a noodle compared to my 2013 Tarmac SL4 sram red I rode to his house on that is also 6.8kg and cost me literally 1kAUD. His decked out Aethos cost him 19k AUD and he has pre crash anxiety every time he rides it or thinks the chain might drop off which is unfortunately common with the new 12spd dura ace.
    That is a great view you have over the city and doors open would get good fresh air to help the lungs recover each day.

  • @bddso6331

  • @TheMagicCrayons
    @TheMagicCrayons Před rokem +1

    Really enjoying your videos, thank you. Am trying to get in some kind of shape indoors to do some longer outdoor 100km during the summer. It's the little details you have about snacks and breakfast I'm finding most useful :-) Looking forward to the next one. Oh, my favourite rubber is by Mono as it does a great job of cleaning up my pencil. A pair of DT Swiss would be one awesome give away!

  • @williamberhow2560
    @williamberhow2560 Před rokem

    My favorite rubber is definitely the N.ext. Tried most others and these Vittorias by far the best.

    @adamkenstam4412 Před rokem +1

    my favourite rubber is probably durex;). On a serious note, Vittoria Corsas have always been kind to me, the cotton casing makes them easy to install as well

    Favorite rubber has to be Durex, no? Never even had a close call. That's quality.

  • @Jegtogdettefoto
    @Jegtogdettefoto Před rokem

    Great stuff !! I ride the Pirelli Cinturato Velo TLR 28 mm and when its stop freezing in here in Denmark, i switch for the Pirelli P Zero Race TLR also the 28 mm version. But will love to try the Vittoria tubeless tires and compare them to the Pilrelli. Continue the good work !!

  • @TotalJym444
    @TotalJym444 Před rokem

    Great video guys. I wish my tubeless set up went so smoothly. I am running Panaracer AGILEST. They feel like Formular race tires compared to my previous tires. Happy riding.

  • @l.d.t.6327
    @l.d.t.6327 Před rokem

    I use Vittoria corsa control 25mm for quite some time, but with inner tubes. Those are still my favourite. But this year I am determined to try tubeless, and I have a pair of Bora wheels that are tubeless ready, so after your no-nonsense approach, I feel I should give it a go! Same with waxing the chain: I usually degrease by putting them into a small container with degreaser, but I feel like it's not very environmental friendly. So I'll give the waxing a go as well!

    Another cool look into what you get up to on the daily, keep up the good work!
    Ive tried GP4000 & 5000's, Schwable Durano's, Pirelli P Zero's but yet to try the Vittoria's, the LBS didnt have any in stock :( When I was commuting to work I loved the Schwable's for puncture resistance but yet to find a favourite tyre as such.

  • @davidhenderson4741
    @davidhenderson4741 Před rokem

    My favourite tyre for the past while has been the Continental GP5000. Have used Vittoria Corsa Tyres in the past and would love to try the latest version out.

  • @stephensmith7505
    @stephensmith7505 Před rokem

    After getting "The Snip" after child #3, rubber preference changed substantially. And let me tell you, my wife's waxing is second to none. Conti Gatorskins for bike-touring, and Conti 28"'s for the go-fast bike. You've made a strong case for tubeless...

    Great video! Continental GP 5000 are my favourite tires, since they are fast, and they puncture less.

  • @Siblove7
    @Siblove7 Před rokem

    Last winter I got myself some Zaffiro Pro 28mm as puncture resistant winter tyres, they were so comfy that they stayed on the bike all year around, only one flat 1,5 years later! But I wouldn't mind trying a pair of corsa to save some watts for my first organised Gran Fondo later this spring!

    @michaelsrealm9365 Před rokem

    Harry, I love the videos. With all the detritus on the roads around here, I have tried schwalbe pros, specialized gripton, and hutchison fusions. All have limited life. Haven't tried Vittoria, though. 😉

  • @Matthew-ez4ze
    @Matthew-ez4ze Před rokem

    Ditch the tubeless junk! Tonight, on our fast group ride, the guy in front of me was squirting sealant every time he hit a bump. It was all over his seat tube, his bib shorts, and my kit and protective glasses. I'm already on Vittoria Corsa tires. Excellent tires.

  • @John12358

  • @kevwells
    @kevwells Před rokem

    I like my continental tubeless setup, feel free to convert me :) Personally I mount the tyre without sealant get the tyre seated, then add sealant through the valve stem by removing the core. If you have issues at least you don't have to deal with sealant etc, might be from the old days where it was harder to get tyres seated but looks like you have a solid combo, nice work.
