I haven't tried my gatorskin in the wet road yet. Does stuff really stick on the rubber that bad? Reason for inquiries is that on my Scott bike I notice only about 3mmof clearance on the frame that connect between the two seatstay at top. That is with the tire at 110 psi. I notice my Hutchinson with the same size had better clearance. I think the gatorskin might be just slightly having a larger OD size. I'm afraid it might pick up debris and ends up rubbing that part of the frame eating away at the carbon. Oh well, at worst maybe I won't used that bike in winter time.
