>I'm surprised at your Boroughs puncturing frequently - they have a very good rep for toughness.

They've never punctured for me while commuting, but virtually every bike tour I've done in the last 18 months I've had at least one. It's probably just a bit of bad luck. I've now ordered some Vittoria Randonneur Cross Pro's. Thing is, I no longer have much need for a 32mm slick - I either want 23mm for speed, or I want tread for offroad.

I also wanted to replace two of them because the LBS guy managed to kink the wire beads when "folding" them (he needed a lesson from Sheldon). Result is that sometimes they don't seat correctly and I explode tubes - I'm up to 3 so far.
