I still ride Gatorskins for every day riding on the trails around here. Rarely have a flat, but I don't like fixing them. On this bike, I'm just out for exercise and enjoyment. I don't notice this extra drag some speak of. Especially at my old man speeds on smooth trail. And on this steel bike with 700X23's, don't run much air pressure. 70-80 to 80-90 max. After seeing Lance and his team training up around Blue Ridge Parkway and Boone NC one year on Gatorskins, they're OK for me. If I was competing, riding up front on a fast A ride, et different story. I think many ride with too much air pressure anyway. We don't have potholes here around Orlando. BTW,,,Armadillios I won't ride. Still working thru stash of Michelin supple 700X25's on my CAAD 10.
