Any one can recommend where to get more cushy 451 tyres?

I find that the 451 Duranos transmit alot of feedback to my elbows... compared to my 406 Kojaks on another bike, thus wondering if there are thicker ones so that it will be more comfy for longer rides.

Reduction of vibration not only on the wheels, also depends on the components on the bike, Absorption of vibration is weakest for alum, carbon and steel are better. Whether you can use a wider tyre also depends on your bike.

@DigDub, battery all separate on the FD/RD/Shifters.. got pros and cons, for me, I choose Di2 because of the single charging point, but then after a few months of riding, the battery bar hasn't dropped abit.

You will be stuck with narrow 451 tyres. There are no wide tyres for 451.
