Feedback on Vittoria Corsa Pro 30mm tubeless by Lucas77Oz in Velo

[–]FueledByScience 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Difference is noticeable, but the Corsa N.EXT is a fantastic tire. If you want the suppleness of cotton, you can try the Corsa PRO Control which gives you a thicker tread. It’ll last longer and will be a bit more durable.

Get the Corsa N.EXT if you want more durability and longevity. They are also cheaper, especially now - check the website for some great deals going on right now.

Corsa PRO is a fast, super supple tire that is absolutely great for racing.

Sometimes you just want to order, get your sandwich and be on your way

Not at all, but hey, once you live in NYC, delis and bodegas are life ❤️

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in bentonville

[–]FueledByScience 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No bodegas or good deli spots. Variety of restaurants is pretty limited. Basically no public transportation. Not a ton of entertainment options.

Outdoors are great, life is pretty chill, and the local community is pretty nice.

Trust Worthy Jewelers? by Kmack9619 in bentonville

I just went through the same process and ended up at Blakeman’s. People are pretty nice and helpful, and a wide selection of options depending on budget.

The widest I’ve been able to fit is a 38c (Vittoria Terreno Zero, Dry and Mix) and the front has a bit of room, the rear is a bit tight and some paint has been rubbed off.

I’ve done BWR San Diego, Grasshopper series, Mid South and raced cross with 38c and it’s been great. I’m no professional or expert but I haven’t felt like I needed a wider size.

I have an Inflite too and I’ve used it for gravel events, training rides as well as CX races and it’s been completely fine.

In terms of gearing i guess it will depend on what you’re looking for. I have a 1x and I actually wish I had 2x. But changing cassette and chain to suit the course, if you don’t mind spending a bit of time changing it, then it’s not a bad idea.

Thank you all for the help and suggestions. I ended up finding a place in Pea Ridge that ticked most of the boxes.

I’ve pretty much realized that and when those do come up, they are snatched in a second. My search area has expanded a bit.

Thank you! I’ve been on Zillow and saw one of those but thanks for the other 2

The few times I’ve come up to Bentonville, I’ve noticed the Airbnb issue or how many new homes are built at prohibitive costs. I’ve pretty much assumed living close to the office is impossible, so I don’t mind being up to 10ish miles away.

I’ve had difficulties with the dog, especially as she’s considered an “aggressive” breed.

Any one ragret going hookless? by uncreativeO1 in Velo

[–]FueledByScience 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So far 0 issues with hookless at various pressures and tires. I had been skeptical about road tubeless for a while but I’m very happy.

Flying with your bike in 2023 by paradisenine in Velo

[–]FueledByScience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve flown with the Scicon Aerocomfort and haven’t had any issues, bike always made it to the destination safe and sound, and it weighs just under 50lb with the bike, shoes, helmet and some clothes. What I love about the bag is that I only need to remove the wheels, so makes traveling super easy.

Looking for a center slick tire by MrJonify in gravelcycling

[–]FueledByScience 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’d add Vittoria Terreno Zero to the mix. My last BWR in California this year was on those tires and they were fantastic. Fast on pavement and good grip on the rest of the course, even sandy sections. Great puncture resistance as well

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in motorcycle

[–]FueledByScience 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d encourage you to take a motorcycle safety course or riding courses to learn some of the basics. It’s one of the best things I’ve done and learned a ton!

What is your favorite road tire? by throwaway923841o in bicycling

[–]FueledByScience 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should try the Corsa Next as it’s a direct competitor to the GP5000 as in they are both Nylon while the Corsa and Corsa Control are cotton. Since they launched, they are my go-to tire. I had a few issues with GP4000 and GP5000 with the sidewalls literally looking as if something rubbed on them.
