I have a gear question with a short window of time doing IMCHOO this week.  I have Reynolds  Asssalt/Strike wheel set new this year, I've been using Conti Gran Prix 4000 however with this wheel I can't change the tube, it is too tight for me to remove the tire.

we put on Vittorio Open Corso, which was flexier. I've never raced in these tires, Will I be okay in IMCHOO if it rains, also I've read some questionable reviews on durability.

    I love the Vittoria Open Corsas for racing. I have never had a problem in the rain or with durability (IMLP 2 yrs ago was a monsoon). It's my race tire of choice. And I agree with the flexibility. I can take them off without any tire levers...

    Agree with JW.  You are basically swapping out the Bentley of clinchers for the Rolls Royce of clinchers.  Scratch this one off of your list of $#%* to worry about this week.

    I love you guys, thank you.. SO happy I posted to people in the know!! Now I have more time to stress about something else.

    Yah, Cathleen, No worries. This is my only tire of choice for the last 3 IM and doing #4 in two weeks with a brand new set. I've done several rides in the rain with these tires with no issues.

    Now go obsess about something else... image

    What are you worried about Cathleen - you are going to Kill it (Again)!!

    Dropped my bike off with Ron this morning- it is getting real :-)

    Yep, that's what I race with, and in fact trained on a set all summer, not bothering to change my tires out after racing IMSG in May. Great tire.
