Conti Gatorskins 700*28

The first rule of punctures is not to talk about punctures…

Yes, I understand I shall be recieving one in the next 2 weeks, watch this space…

if it sparkles then don’t head towards it… problem is hipsters love shinny things…

How the hell do you explain moustaches then?

cause it’s all the body hair they can grow… and for some reason wearing tight jeans and having a pedophile mustache has be come the trademark…

Ok.

Apart from weight, is there any practical difference between a wire bead version of a tyre, and the kevlar bead?

I can get gatorskins in 700*25, which I guess is only a touch smaller than the 28’s I wanted. Am I likely to notice much difference?

You might notice a bit of difference but I reckon 25’s ride fine.

Ok, Ended up getting a pair of Schwalbe Marathon Kevlar tyres from Wiggle. Will see how they go when they get here. They were very cheap, $27 each, and got a set of tyre liners as well. Can never be too careful!
