Best Puncture Tyre For A 700 x 23c?

[leyton condor]

I use continental gatorskins. What's a puncture?

Bontrager racelite hardcase, bombproof coming up for a year now(fingers crossed).

I use the all-weather version rather than racelite and have been impressed - after a recommendation from fellow forumite Zacklaws.

agree with Tynan. The ones I use are best.

cant have the marathon+ due to the size of my road tyre so does anyone else have any suggestions for my tyre size 700x23c?

im not understanding why you think you are limited to a 700x23 ?? is this by choice for lack of clearance in the frame.

all of my road frames will manage a 700x28 at the very least.

you dont have to match the tyres size thats already on the bike "just because"

PS: the 23 represents the approximate width of the tyre in MM 23=23mm 28=28mm etc etc. its only the 700 bit that you need to stick to

I think it's purely down to luck! I did 1500 miles on crappy Vittoria Zaffiro tyres without one single flat. For my LEJoG ride I invested in kevlar lined Continental Gatorskins and whilst I love them for their low rolling resistance I got two punctures in 4 days - one rear, one front.
