Review on Continental Ride Trekking Bicycle 26X1 75 by Brandon Addison

700x42 version available. This isn't my first Tour Ride kit so I know what to expect. These are large mid-size tires with a fairly aggressive road tread pattern. It handles great off-road, but rolls smoothly on tarmac. The hard rubber tread is very thick and will last thousands of miles. Also, as expected, stronger than nails, glass, spikes, wire, etc. You buy these tires because flat tires are not an option for you, but you don't want to use solid tires. The downside is that they roll only slightly better than solid tires. They are HEAVY, tough and unforgiving. All in all, I trade the loss of speed for increased durability, lifespan and versatility.
