Lockdown means I might finally finish building up the Charge Plug 5 frame I seem to have had forever. Assuming I can get the callipers working again. But that's a different problem.
Today I've been looking for some new rubber. The cheap-ish Vittoria Revolutions over on Planet-X seem promising but for the life of me I can't see the difference between these two listings, other than widths.
Part numbers are different so there must be something. What am I missing?

Well - there are a different range of sizes on the two listings.
I thought it would be due to marketing bullsh: but both mention graphene.
But! One has PRB 2.0! Whoever came up with that.
It's pretty bloody obvious. One has a reflective strip, one doesn't.
Eh - They both mention "Reflective"
I don't think I'd ever waste my time reading words on the PX site. I only looked at the pictures 🙂
Well - fair enough. That probably eliminates 50% of their errors / ommissions. If you didnt look at the pictures that would elimate the other 50%.
😉
I don’t think I’d ever waste my time trying to buy anything from PX
FTFY.
Ha, thanks folks. Either way, they're slightly cheaper now.
One more question: bb7 road calipers @£24 each, or spyres at £42 each.
Are spyres that much better than bb7s?
