Totally disagree with some of the negatives I read here for Continental glue (can only speak for their aluminum rim version). I used Vittoria's mastic for many years when using Vittoria sewups and...

Amazon has been in the news a lot lately for how they are having to deal with counterfeit goods. I had an issue with several fake KMC X10 chains, and like you, Amazon made good and refunded me, but...

My order was for 25mm Sprinter Gatorskins. Purchased one in June and I think I paid $54 and was pleased with that. Can't beat $17.95 for this one though.

My Sprinters arrived yesterday. Box was a little beat up here as well, but tire appeared to be fine, maybe just in the shop too long? Put them on my stretching rims and everything seems o.k. Maybe...

Used to ride with a chap on a Peter Mooney out of Exeter Cycles. Also, been in Belmont Wheelworks many times, seeing Peter and his frames. We may have passed at times.

Agree on putting a few layers of glue on the base tape of the spare tubular before installing under the saddle. Doesn’t do a lot of good as a usable spare otherwise.

What's your conclusion about the sealant? Which were you using and how fresh was it? Would you continue to go with sealant after seeing this?

What about tubular tires? Conti...
