Reflective Tyre for CXP22 rim

Posted on
  • Hi,
    One quick question:
    I am looking into buying The Continental Hybrid Reflective tyre for my CXP22 Wheel set
    http://www.wiggle.co.uk/ProductDetail.aspx?Cat=cycle&ProdID=5360030001

    They do not have 700x25 in Stock.
    Does anyone else know where to get them or another reflective tyre ?

    Or would a 700x32 fit on my CXP22 rims too ? Any experiences with that combination

    Thanks / Danzel

  • According to the Mavic dealer manual, CXP22s are road/triathlon rims.

    In the table for tyre size and recommended pressure for road/tri rims, it only goes up to 28mm wide. So it looks like it might work, but Mavic appear to suggest "no, don't do it".

    Just wait for the 25mm size? 32mm is going to be sloooow.

  • 32 will be fine on the rim. It might be a bit slower (although more comfortable) but, more importantly, it might not fit in your frame, especially your KHS.

    I think some of the Schwalbe tyres have reflective sidewalls and might come in a 28. Look at the marathon series

  • I've run700x28 Schwalbe marathons with a reflective band on the sidewall, they are ok.

  • cool, I will give those a try. Are you in on Sunday for the Sheldon ride ?

  • I think they are more than ok. I feel a lot more in control on London 3rd world roads now
    Love the looks too. Thanks Momentum. They just about fit the frame

    Look at that !
