2 / 5

Lightweight tyre that loses pressure quickly.

- Jacques, 25 July, 2023

Recently bought a set of three to compare with vittoria latex. The vredestein latex bb lose pressure very quickly, around 0.3bar per hour. This is way too much. With the first one, I thought it was flat (one ride) but the second one does it too. Pretty disappointing to me. Vittoria stays on pressure much better during a ride. Secondly, the weight praised here. I measured both different vittoria's as well as the peacesteins: vittoria is around 84/85 grams per tyre, peacestein around 65 grams. So the 20g difference leads to at least (much) less pressure loss. Fine bb for people who ride short rides and don't mind having to inflate their tyres completely before each ride. For longer rides and some re-pumping, I still recommend the vittorias. That 40 grams extra is thus negligible (if weight is important, look at tubolinos or similar bb's).
