    I’m looking upgrade the tyres on my campagnolo scirocco 35s. Has anyone got any suggestions for medium priced clinchers for racing? Thanks

    Open Corsa CX everytime.
    Can’t believe people are suggesting Conti GP4000S, sidewall is so rigid on them they just don’t corner as well as a Corsa, sure they last a lot longer, but this is a race tyre, so performance is paramount.
    Don’t go riding them on the commute and a set of Corsa’s should last you a race season (providing you don’t get any big slashes)

    +2.

    ChainReaction and Merlin normally seem to have stock – and just seen that Sigma have some in at the moment for thirty quid each (which is a good price for them)

    They’re absolutely gorgeous to ride, I have the KX which is the CX with a different tread pattern (have a spare set can let go cheap if the OP wants to try).

    Vredestein Fortezza Tricomp are a nice supple ride too, and could be had for a little over £ 40 a pair from Ribble last time I looked.

    The pro4s were individually
    The pro4s were individually sold, the Corsas were sold by the pair. Good deal, unless someone owns a time trial racing tricycle :B !

    That was for a pair rather than each.

    Well done love.
    He asked about tyres.

    Spesh Turbos; quick, grippy, last about 5 minutes.
    Conti 4000s; quickish, grippyish, last for ages.
    Michelin Pro 4; quickish, grippy, last a bit longer than the spesh, not as long as the 4000s.

    So he did #o
    Well a wheel upgrade wouldn’t hurt?
    GP4000s would be my choice then

    Just over 52 quid a pair still isn’t bad in my book.

    If you want to go for the Veloflex Corsa they are only £52.45
