Nice ride
 
So i'm on a nice short ride and at my turn around 3 guys,2 fixing flats. Hey,need anything? Nope! Sucks getting a flat,it really screws up a nice ride. We are use to it. Really? I've had good luck with Conti's. 4-season and now the GP4000. How many miles you got on those. I say just under 1K. ****. I do that amonth. Oh! Nice bikes,2 on Orbea and one on a Scattante. Hey,how your Roubaix. Oh,i like it. We're not much fans of Specialized. Oh? Dam things break. Really? Well they might break but your fixing flats and i'm off,c ya. Nice guys.

hey funny thing you said that, I got them yesterday and the people at the LBS said I would pull my hair out putting them in. . but acually they went in and didnt come out and coil up like he said. It only took about a minute. It must be a myth that there hard to put in. :D

It was an annoying task for me, roughrider, but I'm not especially what you call "mechanically inclined". I was really afraid that the curl on the end from the inside of the coil would rub the tube, and cause it's own flat. 200 hundred miles later, of course, it hasn't.

I have the bike shop "slime" my tires. This works pretty well.
