I think I'm at one of the spectrum, the end where people want nice tires and don't mind extra punctures. I hope this is just a streak of bad luck. I inflated the tube this morning, and it looks like the last one was caused by a shifted rim strip, so I can't blame the tire. If my luck stays bad with these tires, I'll probably use a Pasela on the rear. I used to like those a lot, and they're inexpensive. I paid only $50 for these Continentals. Watch for sales!
Gatorskins sound like tires with a harsh ride. Am I wrong?
