Urban Warriors - Sports

Ride them on a Bianchi single speed mountain bike and they're awesome! I'm driving around town and hookworms have replaced the skinny Continental slicks. The tires roll perfectly, almost silently. Curbs, potholes, dirt roads don't bother these villains. This is the max amount of rubber I could put on the bike and they look amazing although I wish they had lettering on both sides. The downsides are what a lot of people have pointed out in previous reviews - they're heavy (I live on the fourth floor, go up, that sucks) and affect acceleration to some degree, but they have an excellent roll ratio and the ability to overcome urban environments is something that makes them so valuable.
