Looks like they're not available 'til March or so. I would also expect that they'll come out at MSRP and take a while to drift down. All of this is to say, welp, I wouldn't have run them this year, anyway. Early Tire Decision 2021 Candidate, though!

I found some “lightly used” conte gator skins 25 mm tires on craigslist for 50 bucks. Any thoughts about this? My tires current tires have many more miles to go I think, so these would just be spares til one of mine goes out. My came with 23mm but I don’t see an issue putting 25mm unless I am missing something.

My father has a decent mid-range alloy frame with a carbon fork and some ~1400g alloy wheels. Overall a pretty nice riding bike. He runs gatorskins and doesn't want to change.
It drives me nuts.
I keep thinking about sometime this summer sneaking into his garage and throwing an old pair of Veloflex Master 25s on his bike and making him go for a ride.

I am thinking it's premature to throw in the towel. If it's not healing with your current rehab, you may want to see ortho.

Our very own @Jadesfire does her graduate studies at Tulane, we lunched together on my recent trip to N'Orleans, lovely young lady.
It's good we have some young folks sprinkled in around here. How they can tolerate you cranky old bastids is beyond me.

It was probably propofol. At least that's what we use in USA. It's metabolized quickly so you don't feel hung-over after they turn it off. It is what Michael Jackson used. If you are being monitored while it's administered it's quite safe for anesthesia. Using it nightly at the Neverland Ranch and the "doctor" goes out for a smoking break while you are under, not so much.

In addition to what MoAlpha said (they're noticeably slower), you can get new ones for about the same price.
