On the puncture subject, I have had 2 puntures on my conti gatorskins, the last yesterday according to my bikejournal i have done around 6500km its now starting to show signs of wear, with some large blemishes on surface ie, glass holes which havent gone through to the tube.

On What sort of distance should i be looking to change this tire, and would you go for the same or is there something else that is better
