sorted byIf you compare raw material and transport costs, I can't help think that we are all being ripped off. (edited)
I'm currently running the Non-STR GP5000's on non-tubeless compatible wheels (with Vittoria Latex tubes, which give's a lovely ride-feel and have been highly P-word resistant ). I can usually pick up a pair of these for below £75 in a sale, which is still a fair bit of money, but worth it IMHO.
I've got over 8000 Km out of my last pair of GP5K's, but you can always have bad luck with a puncture, so I'm not sure I want to spend the extra £30, until I get some new wheels and make the big move over to #Tubeless (maybe )
P.S. I really like MerlinCycles. I've had great CustomerService from them, quickly sending out a replacement, when the courier tore a hole in the parcel and one thing fell out!
I used to swear by Wiggle (and still use them from time to time) but there Website re-design was really bad, so I use Merlin as a preference!
Cheers OP
If you're commuting (only reason anyone should really use Gatorksins) you'd be better off running wider tyres, with lower pressures to avoid pinchflats on potholes and then either tubeless or TPU.
