My bike is in the shop having the fork replaced. Today I decided to take the Topolino C19s I just bought to the shop and have new tires installed. The mechanic tried to talk me out of using Topolinos saying that every rider he knows with Topos has had the hubs come apart sometimes injuring the rider and damaging the bike.
That doesn't appear to be the experience of the riders in this forum or the experience of anyone from the reviews that I have read on Topo wheels. Does this sound like misinformation or does anyone know of instances where the wheels have come apart during a ride?
Also, this same mechanic recommended Continental Grand Prix 4-Season tires because they are puncture resistant, perform well in all forms of weather and fairly light. They may also be a little expensive at $55.00 each. A few of the consumer reviews that read say they ride harsh which is not what I want. Is anyone familiar with them?
