Does this mean it's time to change my tires? This is the

Nah, you're good for another five unless you take up cycling as a hobby or means of transportation.

>>1087007
Yes absolutely.

>>1087011
Yeah I got my bike 5 years ago after freshman year of college and didn't start riding it really regularly until a year or two ago

>>1087019
That's what I figured, I got another pair of memeskins because these lasted me a long time

>>1087007

They lasted 5 years? Pretty good but you need to ride more. I want you to do your best and cycle to the point where you have to get new tires every year or so. :')

>>1087007
>5 years with one tire
Meanwhile I replace my rear tire every ~5 weeks.

>>1087007
It also means it's time to stop skidding, kiddo

if you start riding, you should also change your gearing so you have more than one skidding patch

>>1087106
Stop using Luganos.

>>1087007
Stop skidding, you skid...

At least he used his memeskins more than one week like pic related, a redditor who bought them, and put them with the threads outside for getting a better grip.

>mfw this is real

>>1090408
why would gatorskins be so bad?

>>1090792
They are durable, but as far I know, the rolling resistance is terrible. Memeskins are good if you ride on third world roads, for average and good roads, normal racing tyres are more efficient and if you know how to ride, you won't get too many flats.

Who is this namefig, anyway? Can I see some Shwalbe credentials? I don't think Schwalbe would want their brand promoting suicide, especially for someone's choice in bike tyres.

popular = bad, welcome to 4chan

>>1090792
They're heavy, have shit rolling resistance, and zero grip

yeah for performance there are better choices but who buys a gatorskin for performance? it is a touring bike tire

>>1090947
No, it's a skid meme tire. Schwalbe Marathon Plus are touring bike tires.

>>1090788
Why would I stop buying tires that ride like a dream?
