Yup.

And to add insult to rolling resistance injury I am spinning this on my Fixed Gear.

Panaracer Crosstown 32 mm

vs

Continental Gatorskin 23 mm

I had to regear from 48x16 to 48x19 If I ever want to be self propelled by the spring.

I also replaced the inner tubes with thick thorn resistant Pyramids, in addition to Mr Tuffys.

I counted over 50 goatheads last time I miscalculated my shortcut, and so far no flats.

No frozen fingers trying to change tires for me I guess.

My road bike still has the 23' Gatorskins and I am saving it for special occassions.
