so much for puncture resistant tires.

My LBS is in the process of installing the Armours on my commuter. I did one 20 mile ride with an Armour on the rear wheel (LBS was waiting for delivery of the front wheel's liner) and I couldn't really detect a difference in terms of bike performance. The front wheel should be done this week and I'll have the bike back for some testing once we get some reasonable riding weather. I didn't take the decision to use the Armours lightly and I really was hesitant to add any weight to the bike particularly on the wheels. But thinking of safety on a 35 mile commute (reducing likelihood of a flat in a bad part of town in the dark...) swayed my decision to give them a try.
