Review on ๐Ÿšด 2-Pack Continental Grand Prix 5000 Bike Tires by Jason Wesley

Revainrating 1 out of 5

These tires will not fit 17c Mavic UST rims and I don't think they will fit 17c wide rims.

You really need to make a list of the rims that these tires will fit on. The pearl is huge compared to anything I've ever seen. I put some tubeless tires on my wheels. They're tougher than clinchers, but once you get the hang of them they're not that bad, but these are. The bead is so thick that it's not in the center of the rim, which is the trick you have to pull off. I tried for six days and used all the tricks in the book. I broke four tire arms and damaged the rim. I gave up, ordered the Mavic Pro UST 2 tire and mounted it in three minutes. I did some more research and found that these tires only fit 19c and 21c wide rims. If you have 17c rims, don't buy these tires! I wish they would mention this in the description.

Pros
