Still not on the road yet so today will be a Rest Day.
Fine tuning the bicycle again.
It would seem that the problem with the Continental Gatorskins wasn't the tire but the way I was using them... so... FacePalm.
Because my pump doesn't have a pressure gauge on it, I've been going by feel of the tire. This tactile test worked on my old specialized tires, but when I switched to the new ones the feel was totally different. Maybe I should just buy a gauge... But then I'd have to buy two in case one or both gradually became inaccurate!
Hmm. I'll just get used to the feel of these tires at pressure.
Anyway, they should work now.
Thanks to Corey at A&L Cycle in Brandon for his help today.
