Cheap Gatorskins
 
Is this a good price? Should I go for it?

citygrounds.com has them for 30$ USD

Wait, those are in pairs.

It says free postage to the USA, but is it free postage to Canada? Remember, they're shipping from the UK.

Yeah I've ordered some Michellin Pro Race 3 tyres from them before. They were about $60 CDN a pair. They have a coupon (can10) that I think gives you the free shipping and 10% off the order.

Figures this would come up day after I order some Panaracer Pasela TG for more $

PBK is always 10% off and free shipping to Canada, don't need no coupon for that.

whats does the folding mean for gatorskins?

seejohnbike 08-24-10 11:44 PM
same thing it means for any tires: it has a kevlar bead, as opposed to a wire one, allowing for the tire to be folded up, but not mess up the bead.

I see, what advantages do you have over a tire that cannot be folded? It makes sense, but at the same time it doesn't.

You can tansport it with you in a bag so if your tire pops on the road you can change it there. A non folding tire isn't very portable.

Also light than a regular steel bead tire.
