Anyone ever used 'em? Well, the 'Aqua' version anyway...

I was contemplating getting some of these for the CX this winter... Road use only!

Discuss?! :smile:

    sorry, nothing to add either, other than registering an interest in the outcome - as they look to be a little cheaper than my Winter tyres of choice, the Vittoria Open Pave CG's... Wonder if they come in a 25c or 27c...

    I'm now the proud owner of a set of these:

    Schwalbe Ultremo Aqua's

    They will be being installed on my CX for the winter commute...

    I'll let you know how they work out...

    I got them from NextDayTyres; the cheapest I could find them (http://nextdaytyres.co.uk/details.aspx/SCHWALBE-ULTREMO-AQUA-ROAD-700/229)

    :wink:

    I have put them on bikes for other people.

    They are good tyres, but they pick up debris very easily. Ideally, you would want something a bit tougher on the commute - the Panaracer Pasela in 28c is a much more reliable tyre. It's still comfortable because you have quite soft sidewalls, but you get good puncture protection.

    Still, hope you like them!

    I love Schwalbe Ultremo ZX, they are my latest favourite tyres. They perform brilliantly dry or wet, rolls nice and has the plush feeling that I like (I dislike tyres that feels hard, don't know how to describe...). Plus they are a breeze to change when the inevitable happens. 2 punctures in ~3000km. I've used Corsa CX, Pro3/4, 4000/4000S, they are all good ones but I'd go for the Ultremo ZX if you ask me today.
