I'm riding these. I appreciate that it's more work. I don't have to stay out so long to get my workout. And I can get back to my woodworking. Yesterday I finished a wooden jack plane and a wooden router plane, and got most of the way through a new hatchet handle.

In this case, extra rolling resistance. It's whether you consider the marginal gain of less rolling resistance (or air resistance if you are looking at aero) or marginal cost of more.
If you are not performance oriented, it matters quite little.

It's marginal when you're looking at the very, very best tires (like time trial variants) vs exceptional daily tires (GP5000, Pro One Addix, Power Road, Eagle F1, etc, etc), but the gains/losses compared run-of-the-mill ****** tires can be considerably more than marginal. 10w, 15w, 20w per tire is nothing to be sneezed at, even if you're just noodling along.

I did indeed. But that was in another lifetime. I guess I have no business faulting someone else for it. Point taken.

Larnell at it again, this time going out of his comfort zone with Metallica. Unfortunately, the first listen through is with the drum track. It would have been interesting to hear what he'd have done given free reign instead of mimicking -

For the (glued) spare, can I just fold it up in a bag and no worries about it sticking to itself?

Done. I am shocked. Shocked! At how easily it went on. All these years of handwringing. I followed Yellow Jersey's directions, with just one coat on each surface, though I did touch up a few dry spots on the tire. And @datlas bare feet suggestion. Though there wasn't much pulling involved. Tomorrow is the test ride. I assume I can ride rougher roads than I can with the gp4. That tire hit one stone and blew the sidewall. I didn't bother re-mounting the other one. I probably didn't get it as tight as I should have around the valve, but there was plenty of tire at the end.
