Continental Unisex Contact Speed Tyre

Product Information

Larger air-chamber tyres for road and gravel are mostly 30-50mm wide and made to fit 700C/29er (622mm) and 650B/27.5" (584mm) rims. As a rule, wider is better for comfort and rolling resistance – but inevitably heavier. Folding bead Puncture protection and reliability is taken care of thanks to Continental's renowned hard wearing tread compound and two SafetySystem anti puncture layers beneath the tread. Here is a comparrison chart for traditional and ETRTO sizing to help you choose the correct tyre size. ETRTO Number Price, as you would imagine, is the most popular reason for someone buying one product over another. It is the single most important factor in choosing the majority of products we buy. The same goes for Tyres.

There are pneumatic tyres that are effectively puncture-proof, significantly faster, and comfier. For the overwhelming majority of people these represent a far better compromise. These tyres also suit cycle touring, with the widest examples ideal for the weight of a fully-laden machine, where their speed can significantly extend the range of a day’s riding. I’ve regularly hustled along 1in7 descents at 35mph plus without any hint of skittishness. Nor spiteful, when carving into the corners at 25-30mph. Loose surfaces require common sense but dropping the pressures to 58 psi, made a big difference when negotiating freshly lain chippings.

Lighter and more expensive than a steel wire bead, this feature also makes it easier to carry a spare. Weight With a thin tread cap, this will inevitably be light. Even a file tread works well on gravel, but no tyre in this category is meant for mud. A thin, light tread cap reduces mileage and puncture resistance. Tubeless compatibility One of the key features of this tyre is its puncture protection layer, which is made up of Kevlar reinforced, high-strength nylon fabric. This layer provides excellent protection against punctures, ensuring that you can ride with confidence and peace of mind.

No matter what type of bike product your buying, from the simple accessories through to the full setup of your custom built road bike, there are lots of important considerations that you should take into account, especially when you’re shopping online and unable to test the product first. This is especially true when you’re buying products like Tyres. Finance is subject to application, financial circumstances and borrowing history.

Puncture Force Blunt Needle: The Blunt needle has a flat tip and won't split the casing wires. To puncture the tire, the blunt needle has to cut the casing wires. Little efforts’ required to bring them up to speed and I’ve been able to cruise along comfortably, all day at 18-20mph, with some in reserve. These qualities are equally welcome when chasing through town, weaving around holes, opening car doors and similar hazards.

to mount to a very ordinary mtb touring hoop but given a few weeks, they become more compliant and I’ve only needed a single lever to start/scoop the final section of bed home. Either way, you’d be going some to get a pinch flat. These feature 180tpi casings and skin wall sidewalls, which give a clear indication of their ride persona, straight off. That micro diamond tread pattern is also borrowed from the German marques’ Competition World Tour Tubular. Skin walls are supple and, in this instance, contributes to the aren’t the default for commuting, since they are more prone to damage than gum walls. A reflective sidewall is another small but welcome touch. One is the traditional size like 700x28c or 27.5x2.2. The first figure is the tyre diameter(size). The second is tyre width. Note: road bike sizes are in mm, MTB sizes are in inches. The speed reflex certainly live up to their moniker. Now, shod with the Schwalbe Marathon Mondial Double Defence Tyres my Univega is perky and engaging on metalled roads. However, the Speed Reflex brought things up a few notches.
