curious what rim you have those intensives on that it measured 23.8
mm?
mine are on stans alphas and they measure a 0.97-0.98 (~24.7mm) near
as i can get with my calipers.
only complaint with the intensives is that they take too long to
wear out. i have a set of the sectors i have been waiting to put on
after the intensives are done and i can't wear the dang things out.
bought a set of intensives in may 2011 and then another set in late
2012 when i thought the 1st set was about done. but, no, they just
keep going. finally wore one out and got a bad enough glass cut
that i couldn't repair the other one.
still waiting for the final two to quit. that glass cut is the only
flat i have had in 4+ years of riding this system.
fwiw i ride these tires lower than typically recommended (55 front,
70-75 rear) and find the ride to be pretty nice although i am sure
it is not as nice as the 28mm sector and probably more sluggish than
at higher pressure but the corner amazing. hit a 1" or more thick
steel plate when i was coming down rabbit ears pass at something
close to 50mph. didn't see it until the last minute, no time to
unweight, slammed it with those tires and alpha rims and no pinch
flat, no rim damage, no tire damage. they paid themselves off in
that instant.
