Continental Ultra Sport Tyres with Kevlar
Kevlar Schmevlar. These tyres are the Spawn of Stan. When a wheel has these
tyres upon them, the mere act of rotating the tyre is a multiple invokation of the p*nct*re fairy. The number of visitations by SheWhoMustNotBeNamedOutLoud in a month will outweigh the number of visits by SWMNBNOL during the previous three years by a seriously large number. The only place for these tyres is landfill. Do not ask me how I know this! Bah! |

Kevlar Schmevlar. That's odd, I swear by them (rather than at them :-) on my commuter bike. Although I do find that (like any tyre) once worn past a certain point (which is a long way before "worn out") they do seem prone to picking up more holes. Dunno why this should be but I've found the same with motorcycle tyres too. T |

In ups.com,
spindrift tweaked the Babbage-Engine to tell us: Off topic, took my Bike To Work Dawes Galaxy out for a spin at the weekend in NorwichWaffly and got up to 27.5mph (ok, ok, on Thunder Lane).

Swap 'em for Scwalbe Blizzard Sports, then you'll feel better about your Continentals :-/ |

Fell out with continental when I found that the GP4000's and the Force and Attack tyres had a compound made with coloured Dairylea. Thought I'd give their Black-Chili tyres a crack and got 6 flats in 50 miles. ok it was wet, but they claim to have increased protection when really it's dairy product content that increased. Recently took a pair of new GP4 Seasons around France. 350 miles, one flat in each tyre. My Scwhalbe Blizzards and my Michelin Krylions are still untorn although both are a tad worn now through road and turbo use. |

Dunno why this should be but I've found the same with motorcycle tyres too. T As described by others the cheese spread content of these tyres is such that brand new ones with less than 500 miles on them will puncture multitudinous times in under a month. Bah! Double Bah! Triple Bah! There is not this problem with Schwalbe Marathons as on a certain touring steed I know. |
