That’s for a 320tpi handmade open tubular, tanwall, and a very much on-trend wide tyre. The 25mm version is a few quid more expensive.

That’s a third of the price of an equivalent Specialized Turbo Cotton and less than half the price of the equivalent Corsa G, Challenge Paris Roubaix, or Bontrager R4

I’ve run the 25mm version for a while and they’ve proved to be pretty robust. Easier to mount for the first time than most open tubulars I’ve tried (definitely not a Challenge 😉 and once they’re on they go back on easy if you have a puncture. Better puncture resistance than the R4 Classics Hard Case I’m currently running.

Good option if you’ve got wide aero wheels…
