Hopefully a month ago for the last post

is not too long to resurrect this thread.

On impulse I bought a pair of the Challenge Strada Bianca in the 700x36 size to try on my Sam Hillbourne.

It took me about 20 minutes per tire to mount them on Dyad 24mm wide rims.

After inflating I'm getting 36mm wide initially.

I used velcro strips to hold in place as I worked my way around.

It wasn't terrible but it was tedious.

I went round and round several times b4 inflating to check for possible pinching of the tube.

I'm tempted to take a light easy to mount folding tire in my bag just in case I get a flat.

From what some have said they will get a bit easier to mount over time.

It will be interesting to see how they ride.

After reading this thread I'm wondering why I didn't just order some Rene Herse.

Not sure why this did not link to original thread.

Try Specialize Roubaix Pro 700x 30-32. They run 31 mm wide, have nice round profile on Velocity Aerohead rims.
