I bought the old Almotion for my wife to replace her old Big Apples and the Almotions are indeed fast and comfortable. They also have some tread. They are not, however, as fast or comfortable as my Compass Rat Trap Pass. Not at all.

On R2's advice I have gone for a pair of hypers... :?
Any flats and they will go in the bin :mrgreen:
Arrived yesterday.

Did we ever get to the bottom of rolling resistance ( I know Brucey has been a critic of these tests? ) of the Randonneur vittoria PRO :?:

Grateful for the clarification, it's sometimes difficult to keep up with PX's price changes, so often do they happen.

They've been up to £19.99 there at times. Apparently their prices fluctuate up and down depending on their VAT and supplier payment cycles.
