Conti GP4000 Tyres
A number of Melbourne a.bers have bought GP4000's (from PBK) and I am wondering how they are going. What are the first impressions of ride, grip, wear, speed etc. ?Have they lived up to expectations and are they worth the $ ? My Gators have just about had their day and PBK GP4000's are less $ than LBS Gators. Cheers Hugh -- HughMann |

Cheers Hugh I don't know if it is the fact I used Pro Race's for such a long time, I agree with everything GP said about the Conti's... but I actually reckon the Pro Races... have a slightly better feel about them when riding... I have a GP4000 on the back at the moment, but am going to put on a Pro Race 2, again next time to compare. Having said that... checking the GP 4000 for wear... and it certainly seems to be a lot more resistant to those small nicks that appear after time then the Pro Race 2's -- MikeyOz |

I brought 4 from PBK 6 months ago and they have been ok re handling - even
in the wet (but do read TimC's note above) not very impressed with wear or puncture proofing - the 3000s i had on prior did better on both fronts "HughMann" wrote in message ...

was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea: I brought 4 from PBK 6 months ago and they have been ok re handling - even in the wet (but do read TimC's note above) not very impressed with wear or puncture proofing - the 3000s i had on prior did better on both fronts How many k's? I heard good things about the Rubinos, but they wore for me quickly. It's those nicks that someone commented about -- they get nicks quite easily, which are big enough to let the tube bulge out. Noticed today that my GP4000s bulge at the valve stem on the front, today. Tried to reseat the tire, and pumped it up twice, but still no go. It looks like a place where the tube folded. -- TimC It's written GNU/Linux, and pronounced "Linux". Or, "Linux, with a silent GNU/" -- Kubric on /. |

Next week is BR100, so I'll ride there, but I'm missing the 1/20 action -- TimC ``Hello, my userid is root and if you feed me caffeine, nobody gets hurt.'' -- AdB on ASR |

i guess about an average of tenish. However, get some rain and you may be on your own... It seems to have become the ride that most people do if there's nothing else to do... -- Jono L |
