Favorite Ride:
county roads around MN lakes!

Bike Setup:
Felt CA-1, DA equipped, Easton wheels.

Summary:
I put these on my Felt road bike in the Spring, I liked the red color as it matched the frame and I a big fan of Conti's. Road with them all year, 350 miles of Iowa roads during RAGBRAI, not one flat (knock on woord). I probably have 7-800 miles on them and looks like normal wear to me!.

Strengths:
responsive, low rolling resistance.

Weaknesses:
a bit pricey but not too bad

These came on the bike and are a major disapointment. Constant flats and worn out with very low miles. I had to switch to heavy thorn proof tubes just to keep air in them.

Strengths:
Nice ride until they start to wear.

Price Paid:  $45.00 at Performance Bike

Favorite Ride:
San Diego Coronado Bike Trails

Bike Setup:
Masi Road Bike - 54 cm

Summary:
Have had these one for 2 months... 7 flats! The Continental Gatorskins I had all last year had 4 flats ALL YEAR. These just don't seem to protect against anything. Had one flat, took out a long thorn, checked for others, put on new tube...3.5 miles later another flat. Found a piece of glass hidden in the rubber (part of the protective strip too), couldn't feel it just saw discoloration in the tire. When I push on the tire, the tip of the glass protuded. Had to dig it out.

Weaknesses:
Don't protect against flats well

Continental Ultra Gatorskins - good product for me. Will go back to them.
