Continental contact?

Shouldn't that be Perfect Rump

**PR = Perfect Ratio **

Shit loads of Gear Inches, no clearances.

Have had the Contacts for a whole year riding (almost) daily and i only had 3 punctures. At the end of the year i used their puncture warranty and got new tires.

Contacts come as standard on Ridgeback hybrids and they are sold only to maximise puncture repair revenue for Evans. Ran them on a singlespeed and remain the worst tyres I have ever had.

Randonneurs? My rear wheel this morning. No puncture.

^thats what I'm talking about! I actually like the randonneurs with the reflective strip...too bad wiggle doesn't have them on 28c with it

^^that happened to my cheap Performance Bike tires as well. what do i win?

My plug came with conti sport contacts, just had my 8th puncture in about 3 months, absolute fucking shit.
going to order some decent tyres today.......

I have never had a pucture on a Conti sports contact. Inflate to 110psi.

And I dont dodge glass

Been running mine at the recommended pressure on the tyre.....

8th puncture in 3 months?

did you check the inside of the tyres for stray glass?

was there any spoke sticking out inside the rims?

is the rims itself defect-free?

etc. etc.

Yup nothing sharp in the rim or the inside of the tyre, on 5 of the occasions where I got flats I managed to find what cause them and each time it was small stones that had got lodged into the tyre.

It may just be bad luck, but I've never had a problem with flats before getting my current bike with these tyres!

Recommended pressure is 102psi. too low in my experience.

I've got the 700x32's on my bike, their website says recomended is 75 and max is 90 so I've been running them at 90, I'll give them one more go at a higher pressure and see how they fare.

Oh... mine are 28's... I run them 10psi over.

I'll give it a go and see how they get on, one more puncture and I am likely to flip out hulk style!

The higher the pressure the more likelihood of flats from sharp objects as the tyre will not deform around them so readily.

Probably.

Possibly.

maybe

Been running Gatorskins on the rear on most my bikes for over 3 years, NEVER had a puncture. All at 125/130psi

Ride more than 10mi a day. Conti suck balls.

You're an Aussie, you're opinions are invalid

Opinion not noted.

The higher the pressure the more likelihood of flats from sharp objects as the tyre will not deform around them so readily.

Probably.

wheres that example involving high heels and drawing pins?

Conti travel contact 32mm, bullet proof, but like riding with a dead cat wrapped around your rims.

wheres that example involving high heels and drawing pins?

I really don't want to know what you get up to with high heels and drawing pins thanks.

Oh... mine are 28's... I run them 10psi over.

^^Same. 4 MONTHS, NO FLATS!
