They are faster (a bit), but after six flats in 1600 miles, I've had enough. I'm going back to the Randonneurs, this time the pros.
Hrmm. 6 flats in 1600 miles is about every 300 miles, or roughly once a month for me. I'd say that's about the low end of what I would consider tolerable for me, if i pick up more speed AND comfort.
Still...I've got to believe a couple of those are just plain bad luck. 6 in that milegae seems high for a decent tire
