Hippy is right Conti tyres suck arse!

Ed pisses on his porno mags?

Send them back to conti, citygent warrantied a gator with a split sidewall and got a box of 'em back.
Im running a gator on the front of my daily bike and haven't had a puncture in a year of use.

Did you upgrade your rim tape and tubes?

I don't understand the inconsistent reports on these tyres.
I've never had a puncture on these tyres...

Do you look where you are pointing your front wheel whilst riding anywhere?

9 of my bikes have continental tires on them 7 have conti gatorskins... the last time I had a puncture, was when I did not have conti's on my bike.

LMAO

pissing on the razzle

used gators on the front for years, never had a problem.

My slippers had their soles replaced with Gatorskins in February and I haven't once slipped on the wet bathroom floor since.

^gotta be good

Thinking about it Hillbilly did tell me that Gatorskins would give me AIDS.

For some reason he said that this would be "bad AIDS".

Wanker.

one and the same

:-*

Gatorskins? Hamsterskins more like, never had more than 35 miles out of one.
Vredstein Fortezza's better puncture resistance, better grip, job done!

and who changed the thread title as I tried posting :)

I merged the shit out of it. No point having lots of threads about how shit Contis are.. oh wait..

I'm loving your work.

Contis suck arse, you heard it here first.

Now, I do like tommy, but should I be changing ass to arse or should I leave it as he created it?
Perhaps he was aiming to inform American readers of the shitness of Conti tyres? Perhaps he had a temporary English fail I'm really not sure. I think I will wait for his opinion before a course of action is taken.

never had a problem with gators- except being a massive pain in the arse to get on/off the rim... run them on all my bikes. No complaints.

I'm glad we can all agree that Gatorskins are shit.

Change it, I'm all for having my spelling errors corrected, I am ashamed of them.

P.S. Conti suck, lol, WAC e.t.c.

Your wish is my command..

shit. maybe that's where i've been going wrong.
that might help me out with my crashing problem too. i can't ride more than 100ft without hitting a car/pedestrian/building, but i thought the problems were unrelated...

i did replace the tubes at the same time. i left the tape as it was in pretty good condition no sharp edges coming through or anything.
besides all the punctures i've had with these tyres have been on the outside, not even through the sidewall or anything.

Just look a Gatorskin and it is clear that assuming no magic is involved it is not going to be all that puncture resistant. No super high tech materials and fairly thin amount of rubber = easily punctured tyre. But it is a pretty light tyre so what does anyone expect.

Gatorskins are 280g. That's not light. Rubino Pros are 230g I think.

Just stuck Vittoria Open Corsa Evo CX Road Tyre on my race Zipps (404). 230 grams. Sticky. Tough as you like. Fucking love them.
