Review by StewartGReally Cornersby StewartGCasual CyclistFredericksburg, VA8 of 8 customers found this review helpful.What a sleeper! This tire is shaped very much like the latest motorcycle racing tires and really grips in the corners. Braking grip is also excellent.
The medium price might suggest medium performance - not so. This tire is a great value.

Review by AnonymousGreat value look and permanceby AnonymousDaily Commuter606263 of 3 customers found this review helpful.Even after reading the great reviews here, these tires exceeded my expectations. The 1 looks great on my 1981 Scwhinn Le Tour. Great commuting tire, light and comfy despite the 115 psi rating. Rolling resistance is greatly decreased and the tire performs really well. I ride 27 miles roundtrip to work along Chicago's beautiful lakefront and these tires make it so much easier. Highly recommend.

Review by AnonymousGood Gum Walls for a Dynamoby AnonymousDaily CommuterLos Angeles, CAGood Fit. Super supple side walls. Good dynamo track. Decent tread for road riding, but would prefer something smoother.

Review by TonyGreat tiresby TonyCycling EnthusiastVancouver, Canada2 of 3 customers found this review helpful.Best tire value for vintage road bikes. Well made, light weight, good looking. I use the 27 x 1 size, which need narrow rims, but they are as lightweight and fast as 700 x 25.

They wear and corner well. Must be my 3rd or 4th pair. Peeled a patch off the last rear tire, skidding to a halt to avoid a mallard family on the road!

Review by Christov10OEM Replacement Tireby Christov10Casual CyclistStepford, Tennessee2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.I bought a $40 Suteki mixte frame bike in near original condition at a yard sale a couple of months ago. The 30 year-old Panaracer's on the bike, while no longer supple, were rideable. But I thought I'd better get a new set of tires for the bike. Finding Panaracers still available in the 27 size was a happy providence. They have functioned predictably in the limited neighborhood use they've gotten, and I hope that when my wife has more time to ride with me, will serve many hassle-free miles.

Review by AnonymousNot exactly what I wantedby AnonymousCycling EnthusiastNew Jersey6 of 6 customers found this review helpful.1978 Gios Torino Super Record, first generation Campagnolo Athena Group. It had been in storage since 1994 until recently. Went through a complete overhaul, and I had to replace the worn out Performance GT tires that I'd ridden hard in Colorado. Silly of me, but I was surprised by the extremely limited selection of 27x1 tires. Enter the Panaracer Pasela Road Tire 27 Inch. While this is an all-around fine tire at 100 psi, the profile is about a third taller than my former, long since unavailable beloved GT tires. Because of this, the Pasela tire on the rear is oneeighth of an inch from the brake bridge, and it rubs the bottom of the brake caliper, no matter where I place the axle. Too bad, because I like this tire. After two and a half miles of rubbing, looks like I have to come into the modern age and build a set of 700c wheels.

Review by AnonymousExcellent product and service.by Anonymous5 of 5 customers found this review helpful.If you have spent several hudred plus for a touring bike, you should not skimp on tires. Yet these are a very reasonable price. Thanks for reviews and recommendation to go 1 inch. You will need some experience to mount. It was difficult on my replacment rim. Much easier to mount on original Fuji rim. Must have it in the right direction- labels on right, unidirectinal tread pattern. Sidewall color looks much like originals to this 1985 Fuji Series IV. Zoom.

Review by junpapIt's light, sturdy and comfortable to ride. Just not sure how long it will last.by junpapCycling EnthusiastManila, Philippines1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.I use my bikes mostly weekends. Ride is comfortable. I just feel that it's a little wider than the tires I had before. I had Continental tires in the past and they easily go through the brake clips when I mount and dismount tire assemblies.

Review by CroMolyBikerThe only available choice for a 27 x 1 tire ... and an excellent oneby CroMolyBikerCasual CyclistGrand Rapids, MI2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Mounted the Panaracer tires to my 30 year old 27 x 1 Mavic rims and 37 year old Viscount Aerospace Pro. The Panaracers replaced some rugged but heavy Continental 27 x 1 34 which was all that I could find at a local bike shop (no 1 wide tires in 27). Coupled the Panaracers with Vittoria light inner tubes and the venerable Viscount virtually leaped into action. Significant reduction in rolling resistance. Excellent traction. Look like they were made for my vintage steel frame bike.

Review by AnonymousPerfect fit for hookless rimsby AnonymousCycling EnthusiastSt. Louis, MO2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.The Panaracer Paselas perfectly fit my vintage (ca. 1980) Araya hookless 27 inch rims. The cheaper Kendas I was using required a bit of massaging to be properly centered (as if made for a slightly larger diameter rim) but the Paselas fit just right, are lighter and feel grippier.
