rbent Forum - Schwalbe Duranos

FlyingLaZBoy Moderator '16 ICE SprintX fs, '16 Rocket, '12 KHS Mocha Posts: 5803	Schwalbe Duranos Apr 23^rd, 2010, 11:37pm Got in a set of Durano tires (1.1") that I'm going to put on both front and back on the Xstream, planning to run them at 110psi -- we'll see how they run... The Stelvio I had on the front has several thou on it, so it'll become a folding emergency spare. I'll do some updates here as things develop... PB

I recently priced these for my Corsa, but couldn't pull the trigger on $116 for the pair! Currently running some very tough performance metro tires for $26.00 a pair, I just couldn't justify the differential for commuting. Still thinking about a pair of continental gatorskins for about midway between the price difference. Do update us on how you like them though. -- Nelson.

My tires inner cord tread separated after gettig cut by glass. But partly my fault cause i was running them a little too hot ( what's 20 psi anyway).

Uhhh... mine were $32 a pop through BikeTiresDirect.... where do YOU buy your Duranos??? Cheesy

By the way, I put 'em on today, and went out for about 15 miles... I like 'em!!! We'll see what kind of difference they make on the Tuesday night popsicle ride...

The Durano is just a renamed Stelvio with a slightly different tread pattern, apparently they lost the rights to use the name which is odd

I had a pair on for 2 days then I got a pinch flat and put Jesters back on, if anyone wants my 406 and a 559 Durano pair let me know

Who loves you baby!

Well Paul based upon your positive schwalbe experience I'm going to give them a go again. The tubes have been good to me lately, but that whole exploding ultremo situation awhile back definitely put me off. Also got the folding variety cheaper than I could find them last month. Mark what size is the 559 Durano you willing to part with (ie is it the folding 1.1" or the wire bead 1.35" version).

Take Care,
Nelson.

Kwijybow Five Star Member mostly a commuter Posts: 1026	Re: Schwalbe Duranos Reply #12 - Jun 15^th, 2010, 2:02pm Looks like I'm going to need to return the pair I got, even with a bead jack these puppies are not going on my velocity fusion rims. No way they would be field changeable. Maybe I just got a couple off spec, but Schwalbe fails again for me. Sticking with Michelins or Continentals for the time being. --Nelson.
