asked by: a guest what does it mean by steel bead is this just the tire?
A.
anwered by: mlewis Tires come with either a folding (kevlar) bead or non-folding (steel) bead. That is the bead that hooks the tire into the rim. Steel bead tires are just slightly heavier but are also less expensive than kevlar bead tires.

It's a great tire, feel like I may never get a flat again, takes a bit of work to get it on & off but eventually you can do it. BUT annoyed that the logo does not match up from one side to the other it's 2014watch the quality control guys!
These tires are amazing. I had 700x23 gatorskins and i was getting a LOT of flats in the city. Switched to 700x28 thickslick urban elites and the difference is night and day.
On the road, the smooth soft grip gives me a lot of confidence at high speeds and on turns. They roll dead quiet. They feel rock solid durable. As soon as I put these on my bike I felt much more capable. AND they just plain look cool.
If you ride a road bike in the city, these are the tires you want.
