Continental Ride Trekking Bicycle 26X1 75 Review

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…

These tires replace the stock tires on a five year old Diamondback. The stock tires were great back then but I was cycling in the middle of the night and the tire blew out and I tripped over it on a Revain. I tried it as it is a Continental and the car tires are not bad at all. There was a difference in driving, especially how fast you could go. Speed requires a small penalty considering I could go faster with the stock tires I had. Durability is absolutely top notch, I would rate it a 4 for…

Edit: After having them on my bike for less than a year with little use the rubber is starting to peel off the side panels. Finding the right size after so many reviews in 2018 (now it's early March) were negative precisely because of that. So I was happy when the right size arrived today, now they are on my bike and I already love them. The quality is good, which is what I expected from this brand. Only time will tell the wear and tear but I'll take a chance and trust other reviewers who say…

The tires arrived in 2 days, with Revain Prime 2 days faster than expected. I've read the reviews, there seems to be some controversy about the size of the Continental and it's true. I ordered 700cX35 but it turned out to be 700cX28. However, upon checking with a tape measure, it was actually about 2mm wider than the previous 30mm-wide 35mm tire and I settled on the 700cX32. The metric should be different in India if they are not made in Germany. Someone for 365 cycles should have a correction…

My 2012 Specialized Roubaix was 700 x 23mm. There's not much room for big tires. This is a racing bike. I bought these tires in 700x28 thinking they would fit well but slightly larger than the race tires that came with the kit. NOT CORRECT. They measured a diameter of 23 when installed. They do GOOD on soft gravel roads though. I wanted something wider so I put a 700x28 on my wife's bike and ordered a 700x32 for myself (she didn't care about her tire size and needed tires - so I avoided…

I originally bought a 700 x 28 set but returned it because the width according to my digital caliper was narrow at 25mm and 9 percent narrower than advertised. I then ordered a set of these tires in 700x32, and while I'm keeping them, they also come in a narrow 27mm dimension, about 8 percent narrower than advertised. As a guide, I run these tires on a set of Sun CR18 rims, which have an approximate internal bead width of 17mm. This is important because the width of the mounted tire depends on…
