Ultra Gatorskin 26 x 1 1/8

On: 2007-08-01

I decided to upgrade the tires on our tandem from a less expensive 26 x 1.3 Continental tire to the Continental Ultra Gatorskin 26 x 1 1/8. We had ridden nearly 1,000 miles on the old tires this summer without a tire related incident. On our 3rd ride using the Ultra Gatorskin we experienced a flat tire. A piece of wire with a blunt tip similar to a heavier gauge paper clip had punctured the tire and the kevlar belt. I had thought the kevlar belt was suppose to minimize puncture type flats.

Anyway, thus far I must say I am a bit disappointed in the Continental Ultra Gatorskin.
