Jonesy Posted November 1, 2016 Share Hi all. I'm using these tyres on my Specialized Secteur, size 700 x 30c. I believe these tyres are no longer available. Can anyone please tell me what would be a good, affordable tyre to use instead and where to get it? Or does anyone have a set of these they want to sell (?) as I'm quite happy with these... I'm looking for something that offers great puncture protection and don't mind something slightly heavy. Thanks guys, your responses will be well appreciated.

Ferro Posted November 1, 2016 Share I just swapped my unridden Espoirs for a pair of Conti Gatorskin Hardshells. So have a set available if you are interested. Think they may be 28s though. Will have to check for you if interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy Posted November 1, 2016 Share Thanks Ferro. Please let me know... if they are 30c I'll definitely like to have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried the all condition Armadillo Elite? Not sure which exact riding you do, but the Armadillo come in 28 and 32 in addition to the standard 23 and 25. Great puncture protection and durability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badiejb Posted November 2, 2016 Share Thanks badiejb. Yes, I did look at these but the quote I got from CC was rather steep....I hear they are good tyres though. .I checked for you and the Roubaix Pro in 30/32 retails for R489, which is probably the closest to the Espoir that you had. Worth a try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonesy Posted November 2, 2016 Share Thank you...let me try to find them up here first. They actually look very similar to the Espoir. I'll get back to you. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lechatnoir Posted November 2, 2016 Share I had Espoirs... gashed two sidewalls for seemingly no reason. Armadillos were better, but didn't roll as nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
