I run the Gatorskin Hardshells on my Fuji that I ride around campus. I also have a difficult tire size (27x 1-1/4) and I was super stoked to figure out that Conty sold Gatorskins in that size. I've run over glass, wire, and even steel tubing scraps (I kinda sorta totally work at a racecar shop) and they're just as awesome as the day I shelled out $160 for the both of them.
