Maxxis 700 x 23 Detonator (White) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Got some Maxxis detonators March 2010. I have about 1200-1300 miles on a set and they pooped out on me. I ride about 150-200 miles/week I've been cycling since I was 11 (did RAGBRAI on an old schwinn crisscross) and while I am not a certified mechanic, I know a fair amount about equipment. My LBS suggested these tires to me when in a pinch for some new ones. They did ok, but I have burned through a couple of patch kits. Right out of the gate I was getting flats. The latest nightmare happened while on my first 300 km brevet this past weekend. 5 flats. That really hurt considering I was trying to just finish, let alone stop and fix flats.
Either way, I'm going a different direction with my tires. The colors were fun and entertaining, the tires look good and perform well on smooth, debris free roads (what tire doesn't, and what road is free of debris?). But, I am going the way of practicality from now on and ordered me up some marathon +'s. I can't fix a flat every couple hundred miles, despite getting really good at changing tubes with these tires.
