I know some people don't like the road feel of gatorskins...but I've been ok with it, but not much to compare it to. Most of my riding is commuting, weekend rides, and a triathlon or two. Speed is important to me as my commute is 28 mile RT.
Thanks.
I am interested too.
I have been riding a gatorskin as my front tire, and only had one flat at about 600 miles in. Almost at 1000, and they are still holding up just fine. They are a good ride, very good puncture resistance, low rolling resistance, high mileage and light weight. Only things I would approve on them is wet weather traction and price. (and no, 4seasons doesn't have much better wet weather traction.)
