Advantages: Hard wearing, gatorskin versions are almost puncture proof! Disadvantages: Not a lot!

They are quite pricey (RRP is £27.99 - from mail-order specialists Wiggle, though Ribble Cycles do them for £20.95 at the moment - Google both names and they will come up straight away), but the fact they last so long, plus their "puncture-proof-ness" and grip, mean they are worth the money at £27 - and a bargin at £20!!
If you are reading this for commuting purposes and like the gatorskin idea, but not the price of racing tyres, then Conti also do a cheaper tyre, called Ultra, which I would recommend to you - I have a pair on my commuting bike!...

Those canal walks can sometimes reach for 10 miles or so. It was up to Tina and I to test out these bikes. As I know a little...
