Review on Panaracer Pasela ProTite Folding Tire: Unbeatable Quality and Convenience by Rich Ferguson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Very good tires if you manage to mount them.

Bought a pair for my gravel breaker. I previously bought the 26 version. Smooth ride on paved roads and comfortable ride on packed gravel. The 26's are a bit tricky to mount but I put them on the Mavic rims. So I got a 700cc and my first install was painful but somehow I managed to fit it into my Ambrosio Gentleman rim. The second was a nightmare. It was terribly difficult to install. Tire belt diameter looked somehow smaller. After 1 broken lever and 3 tries I kept pinching the tubes because I was struggling to get the last part of the belt in place. It's a shame, it's a good rolling and beautiful rubber. In the meantime I'll leave it in the rim and try again with new tubes. If anyone has any advice, I'd love to hear it. Good luck installing.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Having problems
