I use Durex rubbers exclusively 😄but on my training bike I have a set of Vittoria Rubino Pro IV Graphene 2.0 that I really love. Keep up the great work Harry, love your videos!
After getting "The Snip" after child #3, rubber preference changed substantially. And let me tell you, my wife's waxing is second to none. Conti Gatorskins for bike-touring, and Conti 28"'s for the go-fast bike. You've made a strong case for tubeless...
Hey Harry! Really enjoying and appreciating your videos. It's great to get some insight to how you pro's live your life. I recently got myself a new set of Aeolus pro 5 and figured I treat myself with new latex tubes, and my new favorite rubber; Specialized Turbo cotton. Never tried tubeless, but would love to give it a go sometime. Cheers from Sweden, and have a great 2023!
I went tubeless all last season. No punctures! But when I changed out the worn out tire. I saw all the spots the sealant did its job. About 15 small beads a dried sealant plugs. These were Panaracer GK Slicks on my All-road bike!
Rene Herse has been my go to rubber for Gravel but Continental Grand Prix is a fav for road. Need to give the wax a try. Thanks for showing its simplicity.
Waxing is definitely the way to go; everything stays so much cleaner. I've only ever rode GP5000s and their black chili compound has been great. I'd love to try the Corsas though.
With me mate, rubber wise...26" Schwalbe marathon plus... Im full-time world tourer.. Bike weighs75kg.. These only tyres work on my rides! Your rides mate... The tyres your using good. Have good season Harry👍🏴
my favourite rubber is probably durex;). On a serious note, Vittoria Corsas have always been kind to me, the cotton casing makes them easy to install as well
Hello Harry. Paris-Nice: it was exciting to see you on television (Peacock live streaming) this morning on the TTT. Best of luck to you and your team this season.
I see what you did there...how to set up your bike like a pro but doesn't really give away the tire pressure. Always keep them coming back for more. Legend. My favorite rubber, don't know...still looking I guess.
Really enjoying your videos, thank you. Am trying to get in some kind of shape indoors to do some longer outdoor 100km during the summer. It's the little details you have about snacks and breakfast I'm finding most useful :-) Looking forward to the next one. Oh, my favourite rubber is by Mono as it does a great job of cleaning up my pencil. A pair of DT Swiss would be one awesome give away!
From a longevity stand point, Conti GP5000's in tubeless have been fantastic but I'm running Vittoria Corsa tubeless because I can get them on and off without levers and swearing.
Favourite rubber, Specialized Turbo Cottons, swapped them out on my road race bike for a set of the new Michelin Power Cups they supposedly roll a little faster but don't feel as supple.
Last winter I got myself some Zaffiro Pro 28mm as puncture resistant winter tyres, they were so comfy that they stayed on the bike all year around, only one flat 1,5 years later! But I wouldn't mind trying a pair of corsa to save some watts for my first organised Gran Fondo later this spring!
Pirelli's P-Zero tyres have served me well over the years, I'd be keen to finally put my tubeless ready wheels to use though! Great video as always, and your French is impressive :D
Fav rubber is - doesn't matter, happy to have a chance to use it :D Serious note: Vittoria Rubino Pro G2.0 for training and Corsa of course for racing.
Great stuff !! I ride the Pirelli Cinturato Velo TLR 28 mm and when its stop freezing in here in Denmark, i switch for the Pirelli P Zero Race TLR also the 28 mm version. But will love to try the Vittoria tubeless tires and compare them to the Pilrelli. Continue the good work !!
My favourite tyre for the past while has been the Continental GP5000. Have used Vittoria Corsa Tyres in the past and would love to try the latest version out.
Great video. Maybe I wi try chain waxing, as that looks pretty easy once you get the system set up. I have been mostly partial to Conti GP, but have used my fair share of Vitoria in my day.
Great video guys. I wish my tubeless set up went so smoothly. I am running Panaracer AGILEST. They feel like Formular race tires compared to my previous tires. Happy riding.
Really enjoyed this video! Your french is great😍 now I'm curious about waxing chains. I was using Vredestein Fortezza Senso Superiore AW tires and now have Specialized Turbo pros on my new bike - they look a bit too slick for my liking though. I'm an aggressive descender so I'm told!LOL
I’m married mate so it’s all about backRUBs these days. I bought the Hutchinson Fusion 5’s in 28mm width last year and they’ve been awesome. Big bonus they’re manufactured in Europe. I’m always curious to try something new, and my current tires are soon worn out so the timing would be ideal if I god lucky. ✌🏼
I use Vittoria corsa control 25mm for quite some time, but with inner tubes. Those are still my favourite. But this year I am determined to try tubeless, and I have a pair of Bora wheels that are tubeless ready, so after your no-nonsense approach, I feel I should give it a go! Same with waxing the chain: I usually degrease by putting them into a small container with degreaser, but I feel like it's not very environmental friendly. So I'll give the waxing a go as well!
Bought a used Team DSM Scott Addict RC Pro which came with Vittoria Corsa Next 28mm tires. Can't complain. Bike is in the shop right now to get a new waxed chain put on. I will do the ongoing maintenance myself but didn't want to mess with degreasing and all. What tire pressure did you run before you setup tubeless? First thing the guy at bike shop did was pump up the tires. I been running 78-80psi on my clinchers. I think they like to pump it up to 95psi.
Riding this bike in an M. rim brake. Thinking about going disc. Favorite tires are Hutchinson fusion 5 performance tubeless for speed, puncture protection and ease of tubeless setup.
Favorite “rubber” lol😂 I prefer schwalbe pro ones tubeless set up 700x28. It’s also what’s compatible with my wheels. Great videos, keep them coming. What wax are you using for your chain and how many miles(km) can you ride it before changing it?
Loving these videos mate well done! Would love for you to do a video based on around your advice as a pro on how a reasonably inexperienced cyclist should start to build fitness, diet etc etc never going to be a pro but just a pros view of how we mere mortals can become better😊
My current favorite are the Schwalbe pro one in 30mm for added comfort, would love to try the Vittoria from your video though! Keep the content coming!
Great video Harry, well done. Waxing is far better for drivetrain longevity, and smooth and efficient running. I use Connex chains and you don't require a tool to change or replaceable link when you changeover the chain.
Harry, I love the videos. With all the detritus on the roads around here, I have tried schwalbe pros, specialized gripton, and hutchison fusions. All have limited life. Haven't tried Vittoria, though. 😉
Victoria Corsa are the way to go , great insight into life as a pro cyclist on all your videos. Would live some new rubber to get me amped up to go slaying some tarmac . Ps , I do take my helmet off at the cafe stop.
Another cool look into what you get up to on the daily, keep up the good work! Ive tried GP4000 & 5000's, Schwable Durano's, Pirelli P Zero's but yet to try the Vittoria's, the LBS didnt have any in stock :( When I was commuting to work I loved the Schwable's for puncture resistance but yet to find a favourite tyre as such.
Ditch the tubeless junk! Tonight, on our fast group ride, the guy in front of me was squirting sealant every time he hit a bump. It was all over his seat tube, his bib shorts, and my kit and protective glasses. I'm already on Vittoria Corsa tires. Excellent tires.
Bike fit and set-up are important. Equipment, though it may make a difference is not a game changer. Natural ability is arguably the main component to success.
My favourite rubber currently is what I can find on sale haha! Got me some carbon wheels though so will go for one of the top model tube type clinchers.
Didn’t even know waxing was an alternative, always learning I guess. Haven’t tried enough different ones to have a favourite, send me those tires and I’ll write a full review!
hey, harry I have got some Vittoria but they a getting to the stage or needing to be thrown out but i think they are really good tires and I would use them every day if I had a decent pair. thanks, Orlando
Continental Grandsport Race, just bought a 2nd hand Berria Belador so don’t know any different. A new set would be good for my Lands End to John O Groats at the end of May this year 👍👍 love the humour in your videos, keep it up 👍
I like my continental tubeless setup, feel free to convert me :) Personally I mount the tyre without sealant get the tyre seated, then add sealant through the valve stem by removing the core. If you have issues at least you don't have to deal with sealant etc, might be from the old days where it was harder to get tyres seated but looks like you have a solid combo, nice work.
What kind of rubber we talking about here????? Mr.Harry Sweeny as a man who rides on some vittoria rims myself. MY FAVORITE TIRES ARE VITTORIA TIRES😂. Once you set up those first try tubeless, I was sold.
My favorite rubber is no rubber at all but it doesn’t work so good for cycling 😅 I was using wax lube but wax bath seems to be much better option. Can you tell me what model is that bath cooker you are using? Cheers!
Would you mind sharing info on the chain waxing setup, is that a homemade rig? or available to purchase as a kit? what wax product do you use? Oh, and my favorite tires are Vittoria Corsa Speed gumwall (-ish) with Vittoria latex tubes...
Gee the cameraman is nose breathing today! Go Jacob!
Someone sign him
We need a video on a Jacob training day.
my king
Next time, run that camera in selfie mode. Let's see some Skinny P!
Impressed with your French! I'm moving to Nice in a month, looking forward to getting randomly dropped in climbs by pro cyclists
I use Durex rubbers exclusively 😄but on my training bike I have a set of Vittoria Rubino Pro IV Graphene 2.0 that I really love. Keep up the great work Harry, love your videos!
My favourite rubber is one that doesn't puncture every single ride! Great videos mate, keep it up
After getting "The Snip" after child #3, rubber preference changed substantially. And let me tell you, my wife's waxing is second to none. Conti Gatorskins for bike-touring, and Conti 28"'s for the go-fast bike. You've made a strong case for tubeless...
An actually entertaining bike pro youtube channel! You are a rare breed!
You are the only person I’ve turned on notifications for! Absolutely love your videos, keep up the great job Harry 🙌🏽
Legend, glad you enjoy them 🤝
These videos are great Harry. All I can say is keep 'em coming!
Hey Harry!
Really enjoying and appreciating your videos. It's great to get some insight to how you pro's live your life.
I recently got myself a new set of Aeolus pro 5 and figured I treat myself with new latex tubes, and my new favorite rubber; Specialized Turbo cotton. Never tried tubeless, but would love to give it a go sometime. Cheers from Sweden, and have a great 2023!
I went tubeless all last season. No punctures! But when I changed out the worn out tire. I saw all the spots the sealant did its job. About 15 small beads a dried sealant plugs. These were Panaracer GK Slicks on my All-road bike!
My fave rubber is whatever stays road-side down! Thanks for the video mate, I gotta get into this chain waxing business.
Rene Herse has been my go to rubber for Gravel but Continental Grand Prix is a fav for road. Need to give the wax a try. Thanks for showing its simplicity.
Favourite rubber: GP5000s or the old faithful GP 4 seasons ☔️
Love that chain tip, thank you very much Harry
I'm running 25mm GP5000s (old bike can only handle 25mm max) but I actually prefer the old GP4000s. They were more comfy.
Waxing is definitely the way to go; everything stays so much cleaner. I've only ever rode GP5000s and their black chili compound has been great. I'd love to try the Corsas though.
With me mate, rubber wise...26" Schwalbe marathon plus... Im full-time world tourer.. Bike weighs75kg.. These only tyres work on my rides!
Your rides mate... The tyres your using good.
Have good season Harry👍🏴
my favourite rubber is probably durex;). On a serious note, Vittoria Corsas have always been kind to me, the cotton casing makes them easy to install as well
Never tried Vittoria tires but I have their TPU tubes on both my road bikes and absolutely love them.
No tubes to pinch = bonus! Btw, my favorite Vittoria tire is the Corsa G2.0 clincher in a 28mm width. Thanks for the entertainment, Harry 😁
You could split this into 4 vids, each one would be a gem. Waxing Chain, Tubeless, etc. Good stuff Harry.
Hello Harry. Paris-Nice: it was exciting to see you on television (Peacock live streaming) this morning on the TTT. Best of luck to you and your team this season.
My favorite rubber is definitely the N.ext. Tried most others and these Vittorias by far the best.
Love to watch your videos, so upfront and simple, no fancy editing. Cheers. I don't have a favorite tire, I run on Conti GP5000 28mm, not tubeless.
I see what you did there...how to set up your bike like a pro but doesn't really give away the tire pressure. Always keep them coming back for more. Legend. My favorite rubber, don't know...still looking I guess.
Favorite rubber has to be Durex, no? Never even had a close call. That's quality.
Great video 👍🏻 waxed chains are awsome. I use GP5000 tires with latex tubes.
Really enjoying your videos, thank you. Am trying to get in some kind of shape indoors to do some longer outdoor 100km during the summer. It's the little details you have about snacks and breakfast I'm finding most useful :-) Looking forward to the next one.

Love the new corsa n.ext, would love to try them on my new tubeless wheels… also, any rubber Jacob is holding is my favourite
Loving your vids. Have used Vittorio G2 for a few years now. Just swapped to Latex Tubes, Loving them even more
Loved the Vittorias since years ago with me using the Rubino Pro 3. Am excited to have a pair of Corsas to ride with me all weekends!
Last winter I got myself some Zaffiro Pro 28mm as puncture resistant winter tyres, they were so comfy that they stayed on the bike all year around, only one flat 1,5 years later! But I wouldn't mind trying a pair of corsa to save some watts for my first organised Gran Fondo later this spring!
Pirelli's P-Zero tyres have served me well over the years, I'd be keen to finally put my tubeless ready wheels to use though! Great video as always, and your French is impressive :D
Currently racing on 28 mm Vitoria corsa graphene 2.0s with tubolito tubes! Vittoria has my ❤
I got myself new vittoria corsa control and I haven't regretted it for a moment. So much grip in the corners and on the wet roads in Belgium!
Hey mate, shoot me an email please! You can find my address under the contact section of my RUclips page
Fav rubber is - doesn't matter, happy to have a chance to use it :D
Serious note: Vittoria Rubino Pro G2.0 for training and Corsa of course for racing.
I’m currently running Vittoria Terreno Dry tires on my CX bike and loving them
Great stuff !! I ride the Pirelli Cinturato Velo TLR 28 mm and when its stop freezing in here in Denmark, i switch for the Pirelli P Zero Race TLR also the 28 mm version. But will love to try the Vittoria tubeless tires and compare them to the Pilrelli. Continue the good work !!

Im a brit/aussie and had to subscribe purely for the comment about brits leaving helmets on -it cracks me too - seems to be the rapha look
Great video guys. I wish my tubeless set up went so smoothly. I am running Panaracer AGILEST. They feel like Formular race tires compared to my previous tires. Happy riding.
Really enjoyed this video! Your french is great😍 now I'm curious about waxing chains. I was using Vredestein Fortezza Senso Superiore AW tires and now have Specialized Turbo pros on my new bike - they look a bit too slick for my liking though. I'm an aggressive descender so I'm told!LOL

one of my favourite sets of tires is my vittoria pave open cg (27mm). fabulous tires. found a few NOS sets
Favorite tires are Specialized Hell of the North, but Vittoria seems to Be a perfect option for my Flanders rides.
I am currently using the GP5000 and they are the best I have tested so far.
I use Vittoria corsa control 25mm for quite some time, but with inner tubes. Those are still my favourite.

Good thing to go with a pre-waxed chain. 👍
I've been on Michelin Power Road TLRs (700 x 25) since going to tubeless, but wouldn't mind trying some Vittorias!
Cheers!
Riding this bike in an M. rim brake. Thinking about going disc. Favorite tires are Hutchinson fusion 5 performance tubeless for speed, puncture protection and ease of tubeless setup.

Favourite tire is the Vittoria Corsa TLR 28 for road, and the Vittoria Barzo for MTB
these vids are so dope - wholesome and funny!
Great video! Continental GP 5000 are my favourite tires, since they are fast, and they puncture less.
My current favorite are the Schwalbe pro one in 30mm for added comfort, would love to try the Vittoria from your video though! Keep the content coming!
Great content mate. What’s is chain hanger you use? It looked like a bike stand or something.
Another class video! I’m currently set up with some vittoria rubino pros and they’re fantastic for training
I love durex rubbers especially, however i have the same tires as yours, and they work wonderfully. Thanks for the amazing video Sweeny! =)
Love the videos! My favourite tyres would be some slicks on that early 2000’s Renault Clio Sport!
Great Video! What brand of chain wax bath is that unit? Looks very simple and easy. thanks.
It’s made by Cyclowax 👌
@@HarrySweeny98 Thanks!!
Nice
Great video Harry, well done. Waxing is far better for drivetrain longevity, and smooth and efficient running. I use Connex chains and you don't require a tool to change or replaceable link when you changeover the chain.
We love the Connex chains!
Schwalbe G-One Speeds were a favourite for a bit but currently enjoying Corsas. Want to try the Next next.
Another wicked video! Currently running Vittoria latex inner tubes with conti gp5000 tyres but keen to try out vittoria tyres 😬
I’ve only had GP5000’s so that what I like but thinking of giving Vittoria a try
j'ai fait l'inverse des Vittoria pour gp 5000 est rien à voir ! 10 fois meilleurs.
Would love to know that lil wax stats thing ur using to know how much good wax Is left on the chain
It's from Cyclowax 👌
Harry, I love the videos. With all the detritus on the roads around here, I have tried schwalbe pros, specialized gripton, and hutchison fusions. All have limited life. Haven't tried Vittoria, though. 😉
Victoria Corsa are the way to go , great insight into life as a pro cyclist on all your videos.
Would live some new rubber to get me amped up to go slaying some tarmac .
Ps , I do take my helmet off at the cafe stop.
Favorite rubber for me is the vittoria zaffiro. Haven't tried anything more high end jet, but thet blow the stock tires out of the water!
my favourite is the vitoria zaffiro pro home trainer rubber because it's the only rubber i have never punctured with
Another cool look into what you get up to on the daily, keep up the good work!
Ive tried GP4000 & 5000's, Schwable Durano's, Pirelli P Zero's but yet to try the Vittoria's, the LBS didnt have any in stock :( When I was commuting to work I loved the Schwable's for puncture resistance but yet to find a favourite tyre as such.
I love Vittoria Corsa N.ext! I wish that the roads in my city were better... So rresistance is definitely my priority
Favourite Rubber?
The one and only Corsa Next's of course🥰
Ditch the tubeless junk! Tonight, on our fast group ride, the guy in front of me was squirting sealant every time he hit a bump. It was all over his seat tube, his bib shorts, and my kit and protective glasses. I'm already on Vittoria Corsa tires. Excellent tires.
Love the video. Favorite rubber is clearly the latex free in size Xl…. 😂 When talking tires clearly the GP5000 also latex free
Good to see everyone everyone wears a helmet when they go riding ;) would love to win a pair of those Vittoria tyres for cycling.
Awesome content as usual mate, you are killing it...keep it up & good luck for the season, Harry! ps - still loving conti gatorskin these days 😅
Great videos Harry! Never tried Vittoria tires but my pick is GP 5000
Bike fit and set-up are important. Equipment, though it may make a difference is not a game changer. Natural ability is arguably the main component to success.
My favourite rubber currently is what I can find on sale haha! Got me some carbon wheels though so will go for one of the top model tube type clinchers.
My favourite tires are Vittoria corsa graphene 2.0 tubular. Still riding tubular :)
Didn’t even know waxing was an alternative, always learning I guess. Haven’t tried enough different ones to have a favourite, send me those tires and I’ll write a full review!
Been with GP5000s for a while. Great performance and great price on sale :)
hey, harry I have got some Vittoria but they a getting to the stage or needing to be thrown out but i think they are really good tires and I would use them every day if I had a decent pair.

Continental Grandsport Race, just bought a 2nd hand Berria Belador so don’t know any different. A new set would be good for my Lands End to John O Groats at the end of May this year 👍👍 love the humour in your videos, keep it up 👍
fav rubbers are Pirelli P-Zeros with Tan walls 26mm
I like my continental tubeless setup, feel free to convert me :) Personally I mount the tyre without sealant get the tyre seated, then add sealant through the valve stem by removing the core. If you have issues at least you don't have to deal with sealant etc, might be from the old days where it was harder to get tyres seated but looks like you have a solid combo, nice work.
Thanks again Harry. Another entertaining video
I've been riding Vittoria Rubino Pro 3 for 2 seasons
As a cheap cyclist, my favourite tyres are the ones on my bike which I'll ride until the flat spot goes the full width!
What kind of rubber we talking about here????? Mr.Harry Sweeny as a man who rides on some vittoria rims myself. MY FAVORITE TIRES ARE VITTORIA TIRES😂. Once you set up those first try tubeless, I was sold.
My favorite rubber is no rubber at all but it doesn’t work so good for cycling 😅 I was using wax lube but wax bath seems to be much better option. Can you tell me what model is that bath cooker you are using? Cheers!
Currently loving the GP5000 but I've wanted to try the NEXT!
I rode a long time vittoria graphene 2.0 was really happy how they perform
Would you mind sharing info on the chain waxing setup, is that a homemade rig? or available to purchase as a kit? what wax product do you use? Oh, and my favorite tires are Vittoria Corsa Speed gumwall (-ish) with Vittoria latex tubes...
I allready coocked my brand new chain. Al dente is the best 🍝. Hope it will work as good as at videos. Greetings from Poland 🤙🤙
