"I got fed up with getting flats and/or losing fillings on poorly maintained roads, so I mounted a set of 28mm Armadillos on my road bike.

I've since ridden about 1000 miles, including a 600 mile tour from SF to LA, without a flat!

At 90 PSI, they roll easily but still smooth out the older back roads. I definitely trust them more than 120 PSI ultralights on a fast descent.

Yes, they weigh a few ounces more... but who cares? Unless your body fat is under 5%, you'd be a lot better off shaving your total climbing weight somewhere else...

Besides, it's great fun to pass people on the hills after they make fun of my "heavy" bike! :)"

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
