Price Paid:  $99.00 at Online

Favorite Ride:
Lake Mead

Bike Setup:
Cervelo R3 White. Full DA with FSA cranks. Zipp 404/303 wheels. Speedplay Zeros. Polar CS200 w/cadence.

Summary:
I bought a set of the Gatorskins as they were out of the regular Sprinters. Mistake. Rear flatted on the 3rd ride. Less than 100 miles. Small pinhole puncture is what caused the flat. Never had a problem with the regular Sprinters. Gatorskins are crap. Do not buy.

Strengths:
They look great with the black tape.

Weaknesses:
Puncture resistance is terrible. I've ridden on tubulars for years and this is the first flat that I have had. No more Gatorskins

Favorite Ride:
Chalk Creek, Utah

Summary:
I picked up a set of Reynolds DVTs from a friend and thought I would get a more durable tire with the gatorskin, wrong. The rear flatted in less than 50 miles and the front in 100. Both flats were from small rocks that cut through the tread. I have put on regular sprinters and have better luck with less weight and less rolling resistance.

Strengths:
Super high pressure tire that holds air.

Weaknesses:
Not as durable as advertised
