I've found the GB Cerf to be an amazingly low rolling resistance tire. It's almost like there wasn't any resistance at all. The PRs have more rolling resistance, and are a PITA to install (really, a three day process to get tires on?). But, they are much more durable. My first set of GBs basically fell apart on me, and the replacements punctured within a few days of installation. I have had NO problems with the PRs once installed, although am scared to death of having to make a field repair if I ever do puncture.
YMMV of course. On 9/25/13, Patrick Moore <bertin...@gmail.com> wrote: > I wish I had a spare $80!
