How do the Ultra Gatorskins roll? "Triple protection" sounds slow and
harsh I'm happy to fix flats in return for a fast, supple tire.

utility tires, the Paselas, 1.25 and 1.5 being a rare exception: and
even the Paselas are not to

I'm looking to get one of the new dyno hubs but can't seem to get a
