I have a pair of these hanging on a peg in my garage, I trained on them and then rode them on a north to south west coast tour a few years ago, never flatted but they are SLOW. I'm now saving them for the zombie apocalypse, I'm hoping that they're a fraction faster than zombies.
Uh-oh, here I was thinking my 32mm Marathon Pluses were faster than the 32mm Gatorskins I was used to
Second day into it I would rate my new 35mm Marathon Plus Tours about on a par with my old 32mm Gatorskins.
I'm a SLOW rider tho, my target speed is only about 10mph. Eight hours of that in a day will still cover serious real estate, and its much easier to look around at the scenery while you're riding.
