Schwalbe ProCore

[reckless toboggan]

I think a bunch of teams came back and said "yeah this works but the wheels feel sluggish" so now they're cutting corners to drop weight and get them closer to the system they just abandoned.

Yah. Wait til the industry "discovers" 559. Stronger, lighter, less expensive. You don't have to pick two.

Give it another 10 years and another generation of new to the sport 40 year olds with money, and the 20 year olds who were never around the first time and watch the process repeat. "why would they be making it if it weren't an improvement?"

You're already seeing exactly that with this +sized tire nonsense.

Another sweet procore failure today. They are going to have to change the color of the system pretty soon.

Haha.....no question about this one. It was on camera. "hey let's use a completely rigid skin for this thing......nah, no way it could pop. And yeah let's stick with that bright blue so people really know what it is when it blows up"

Broken wheel first on neko's bike my ass. First went the tire, THEN went the wheel.

Is that like how old people fall?

It's funny listening to Claudio go silent everytime it happens.

They came up with this because their tires suck. They roll off the rims more than any tire I've used & they're squirmy at all but high pressure. I had to run them at 45 psi to keep them on the rim and not pinch flat every ride. I replaced them with Kenda Nevegals and life is good.

You had me right until here...
