Greg,
Is the sidewall problem with the Stelvio being caused
by the tire rubbing on a dropped chain when you turn?
Also, some friends have recently swapped the front
Stelvios on their lowracers for Conti Sport Contacts
and seem to really like them, but they are very hard
to get on and off a Velocity rim.
