    I do not agree with the first two tyres.
    The Bikes well they got that spot on.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    MCN researchers must have spent all of ten minutes compiling that tyre list.

    No mention of any of the upcoming favourites like Heidenau and Mitas, but possibly because those makers don't give any kickback to MCN with advertising revenue?!?

    Sceptical old fart? Me??

    That depends on what model, the 700 does not quite meet the standard of the earlier two.
