    Whats the deal with Gatorskins? Puncture-proof my arse!

    I've had two punctures in two days in my front tyre, and its 3 months old.

    For £20 I want puncture proof.

    For insulting my admittedly small intelligence with misleading labels coupled with my naievety in buying decent tyres, I'm gonna mention the WAR!

    Armadillos suck arse too, far too slippery in the rain.

    Oh well gonna get an extra tube in for Friday have a good weekend MT Crew dont forget Citizen Fish tomorrow at THe Grosvenor, Sidney Rd, SW9 for 6 quid if you want some WEst Country cider punk

    Go for the GatorHardshell, 6 quid more but "harder". Had first puncture in 6 months today on the front. Armadillos are sweet on the back, last one had one puncture in 7 months...
    But its the luck of the draw, nothings "proof"

    Schwalbe marathon supreme. No punctures ever, although I don't ride as much as you.

    Still, it's a daily commute.

    I'm running schwalbe 26" x 2.35" Big Apples. Not had a puncture in over a year. In this business they're unconventional, but I've also had less wheel buckles than smaller tyres. They squash in a nice way and don't lose too much power, even at 20 psi. It's difficult to find inner tubes that are happy to be inflated to 2.35" and as a result have had a few valve leakages. They often squeak like a 70's cop movie chase when taking corners in the right situation d;]

    Armadillos on the back gater on the front carry 2 spare tubes & a puncture kit.Overdrive does 1000 miles a day and he is very fast.
