I love gatorskins! - Tires

I've been tubeless riding for a while and decided nothing beats the good old alligator classic! I love these black ones, now I don't need yellow on my bike at all.

Pros
  • Cycling
Cons
  • Almost OK

Good puncture resistant tire

Excellent tyre. Had 2 flats within 300 miles on stock tires. 400 km driven, all good. The only downside is that they are very tight and difficult to install. Make sure you have good leverage. I ride a Trek Domane with 700x32 tires.

Pros
  • Sport
Cons
  • Only available in black

Strong but high rolling resistance

Like: Looks good with the All Black Edition. No flashy and bright colors on the side walls. Damn durable. Highly resistant to cuts and punctures. Very easy to mount on my 700c wheels. Holds in corners pretty well. Relatively affordable. Dislikes: This tire is a few millimeters LARGER than most other standard sizes. The 700c x 28 size I chose is 3-4mm larger than the less puncture resistant and lighter tire of the same size. I compared to other tires of the same size measured by professionalโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Tires
Cons
  • Mostly good, but...
