You: Just don't get flats.
But thanks for playing!
UnixD0od,
mihlbach has very valid points and i do feel he is trying to help you. Nevertheless, you seem to be rather disgrunteld about people not agreeing with your petty bickering. Why bother posting if you are going to be argumentative?
Furthermore, my personal experience coincides with Mihlbach, and that is Gatorskins are fantastic tires. I have them on my bike right now. They were a only marginally harder to put on the first time, and the second time (my one and only flat in a year) i was able to slip them on without any tools.
You seem like a spoiled kid who just wants everything to be your way. Unfortunately for you, there is no such thing as the perfect tire. Like Mihlbach said, the tire itself is not your problem. YOU are the problem. What are you doing that the rest of us satisfied Conti Gatorskin users aren't? I suggest you start by getting proper tire levers. What are you using now? A flathead screwdriver?
