SeaBee Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Was advised due to lack of Gatorskins stock and initial web reviews looks good. Anybody of you have any experience with these tyres and feedback you'd like to share. Should I go with it or rather try and get Gatorskins (or alternative? - heard GP4000 is good) somewhere? Before the weekend's Burger, that is...
Jakes_1 Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 done about 1000km on my set and got no punctures yet, they roll good, grip is good compared to conti ultra sport and can go to 130psi
Aquatic Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Dont know much about thd serfas,but a good alternative to the gator is the bontrager hardcase
SeaBee Posted November 25, 2009 Author Posted November 25, 2009 Forgot to ask - see the TPI is a bit down from gatorskins - 120 vs 180. Will that cause more sidewall movement/unstability? Better at back than in front, I presume.
Gumpole Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 dont know anything about the tyres you mentioned, but the higher 'TPI' means slightly less rolling resistance (friction). There will be no sidewall movement unstability - this is not an issue. Of the gatorskin vs gp4000: the gatorskins are tougher, better puncture resistant, heavier and better suited to training, gp4000 better for racing.
Marius Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 I've been using them as Training and Racing tyres, BEST Tyre I've HAD by FAR! - Been doing all my training and Racing on one set so far this season - the back tyre has run flat on top and you'd think it'll be more prone to flats like with other tyres, but no such luck.
