after having versions 11, 12 and 13. They are durable - my 12s did around 800 mies before being retired and my current pair of 13s are on 400 and in their prime. Weaknesses: Never have any problems from cumulus after having versions 11, 12 and 13

: Retiring my current pair after the Clarendon Marathon tomorrow, but will be replacing them with... another pair. Might go for the 318GTX for added waterproofing through winter but will get some more 295s for drier times! Steve Riley: Great all round

race because the weather was dry enough that I didn't need any extra grip. No blisters even after the 50 miles. Its probably now time to retire them and move on to my next pair - bought and stored for just this moment. As are the next pair after that....
