Review on ๐Ÿšด 2-Pack Continental Grand Prix 5000 Bike Tires by Andre Pendergrass

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's a Marquis de Sade tire that you have to mount, but it's worth it in the end.

OK. If you're new to tubeless, say goodbye to me. I'm also new to tubeless. I've never been more disappointed in my life. I bought them before and went back to my LBS. I had two pros try to install and after a few hours I came out completely defeated. My hands hurt and my four-year-old son's vocabulary has expanded a bit๐Ÿ˜‚. I gave up. Then it happened. These tires are really tough. cannot be mounted. I put them on my old tube wheels and pumped them up to 120psi. They stay day and night. Install them in the right direction. Then ride her a little. You relax/warm up. They will also be difficult to solve. I install them on Mavic Cosmic Pro UST (2019). this is work I'll be back shortly with an overview of other features. If you've ever ridden an inflatable boat, you know it can take days to set up. Think of it as such a setup. Patience. Do not use leverage unless necessary. Be careful with the rim tape. Use the center channel if you have one. Also start with the valve and work around. Lean on it and stretch to the opposite side of the valve. Much luck.

Pros
  • beautiful thing
Cons
  • exorbitant price
