Review on ๐ŸŠ Gator Hardshell Bicycle: Unmatched Sturdiness and Durability from Continental by George Bell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Bought folding tires, sent clincher tires.

This seems to be the durable tire I was hoping for. I ordered a 700x25 folding tire but now want to buy a 700x28 because it seems much narrower than the tire it replaced (700x25 folding). Another issue was that the description said they were folding hoops with kevlar beads, but they sent me hoops with wire beads. I fitted them rather than returning them because my old tire had a puncture and I needed a new tire for this weekend ride. Update: I had a flat tire on my third ride with these tires. The bead on these tires is incredibly tight. I thought my pry bars would snap trying to remove the bead. About the puncture. It's not the tires' fault, I hit a metal strut.

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Secret
