Has anyone tried these tires (http://www.specialized.com/us/en/ftb/road-tires/cyclocross-tires/trigger-sport)? I am looking for tire options in a 700x40+ I am currently running Clemant XPLOR MSO in the 700x40 and just want to try something else.
The winner of the DK200 last year was riding much nicer Trigger prototypes, 700x38 I think. I guess they never made it to production. Sitting on the shelf, I have a pair of Continental CrossRide Speeds, 700x42, with a similar tread pattern but much lighter (folding bead) than the Trigger Sport. I thought I would try them but haven't because I have been really happy with Clement MSO 40s.
I have approx 300 miles of rough Western NC gravel on a 700x42 folding Conti Speed Ride rear and Cross Ride front set up tubeless on stans iron cross wheels. 0 flats, they ride good, wearing slow, and I have crushed a few strava pr's with them. For $25/each you can't go wrong! They measure in the 38-39mm range mounted tubeless.
