such as nu-teck (www.nu-teck.com) or amerityre (www.amerityre.com)
seems like the weight of the 700X20 is about 370gr which is not horrible for the tradeoff of no flats ever. last winter i did get a flat and it was 18 degrees--it was tough to change it.
appreciate any input

Interesting, but funny they only come in 700x20 size for a road bike when most people on road bikes seem to run 700x23 or even 700x25 (I can't fit 700x28's in my frame).

Shake your fillings out when that thing gets cold and stiff.....

them? The amerityres I think are 700x25, and I think the others make 700x28. I rode clincher 700x19 (because i got them on sale) for awhile on my c40 (which i sadly had to sell), and noticed no real difference in my rides (just normal riding on decent roads).
the tires are supposed to be closed cell, so they won't absorb water and get haeavy--not sure on any temp stiffness issues.
thanks
