Lifecycle edition 3 Autumn 2016 v1

We tested the folding clincher Pro Control and it goes on and
off with relative ease, clinging to the rim and holding firm. It's
a light tyre at 235 grammes and also won't break the bank.
Updating things over the full spring and summer, and into the
autumn here in the Yorkshire Dales, this tyre has continued
to prove itself to be a great and reliable all rounder. Many
hard miles have been pedalled — hard for me and not the
tyre!
The tread is still in excellent condition, and the side walls
show little sign of wear or damage. It’s had only one tube
change, despite the mass hedge cutting that’s continued
along the lanes recently. Nothing more to add really, other
than it’s a belter —the Audi A4 of road cycling tyres: reliable,
grippy and allows you to take a corner with confidence!
Well done Vittoria. It has to be a full 5 stars for this one.
The image on the left was taken by our own social
media editor Phil, on a trip over to Penrith we took to
see Michael Bonney. I’ve made a point that every time
I go over to see the man himself, we’ll do a ride.
Despite his condition, Michael wants us all to keep on
riding.

Michael’ and be inspired to get
out himself.
