But you can usually get them online as low as $40 or so. Am always on the lookout for a cheaper alternative, though. I might have to try Panaracer Tserv again. The last time I had them, I ended up slicing the rear sidewall. So they didn't last long enough for me to really evaluate them. But they are cheaper and were recommended by some city biking folks.
I've heard Gatorskins are on the harsh riding side, no? I actually rode on a set for a while, but they were 23mm at 130psi...anything would have been harsh.
