Continental Unisex Contact Plus Reflex Tyre

Product Information

As a serious bike commuter, you want to ride in comfort, and you’ll want to avoid punctures as much as possible. But which tire represents the best value? I spent a lot of money and time testing the most regarded commuter tires. Here is a detailed comparison of the six best commuter tires money can buy. Before you start hunting for a new bike, make sure you spend some doing research to avoid problems in future. You need plan right and buy right so do not rush into hasty decisions. Budget a little more I also spent time researching other people’s experiences and how much they were able to ride them before they needed to replace them. Before you start shopping for your bike, consider the amount of money you can invest to accomplish your cycling goals. Then irrespective of the budget you have planned for, spare around two thirds of your budget to your bike. The remaining budget is for the accessories. Despite of the price range, you would need basic accessories like a pump, a helmet, bottle cages and a water bottle. Gather information

Zoals we al eerder melden, is het een fijne buitenband om te monteren. Zeker voor zo’n dikke anti-lek band. Ook heeft hij zich in de praktijk bewezen een lage rolweerstand te hebben, wat ideaal is voor e-bikes. Mede door de lage rolweerstand heeft de buitenband een behoorlijke kilometrage, als je hem goed op spanning houd. We hebben al van meerdere klanten en collega’s gehoord dat zij er al meer dan 10.000+ km mee hebben gereden. Het mooie profiel en kwalitatief fijne compound zorgen voor goede grip in elke bocht en een veilig gevoel in elk seizoen. Schwalbe Marathon GT: 3 The Schwalbe Marathon (a.k.a. Marathon Greenguard) is a good overall performer at a reasonable price point. This is an excellent commuter tire unless you have a good reason to opt for the Marathon Plus. Which one should you get?

Continental Contact – pålidelig og terrængående

Schwalbe Marathon GT have a definite edge in terms of speed and seemingly, rival them in terms of durability. I’d opt for the GT, if you weren’t looking to venture beyond metaled road.

Lanes layered in dung and hedge clippings, shards of broken glass and even the odd drawing pin have made negligible impression on the casings. No flats in 5 months and approximately 1800miles. Irrespective of whether you buy a top brand model or just an entry level bike, it can be a disaster if it doesn’t fit. You can consult the salesperson and he can help you buy the right size. Then work out 4 different adjustments like handlebar height, saddle position, seat height and the reach. It is always better to hunt for shop with trained staff as they will take perfect measurements, help you settle on multiple bikes and accordingly swap different parts to adjust your position. This service will certainly cost you a little more, so you need to plan your budget accordingly. Do not fall in prey to some retailers who often offer bikes in odd sizes at a discounted price. Experiment with a lot of models They all have their strengths and weaknesses and try to strike the right balance yet appeal to a different type of user. Oh and I’ve run bog standard, rather than goo impregnated. Wear is also extremely pedestrian. Admittedly, I’ve not been luging heavy loads but the tread and sidewalls still look extremely fresh. Needed some tires to withstand the punishments of the urban landscape. Let's face it. Most metropolitanI was surprised to see that the Schwalbe Marathon has a better pattern and offers better off-road riding than the Marathon Plus. In my opinion, this would make more sense the other way around.

I've been happy enough letting rip at 35mph along local 1-in-4s, and pushing them hard into corners. Wet manhole covers/similar ironworks call for a bit of common sense, but railway crossings, cattle grids and so on haven't taxed them – or spooked me. In my experience, none of these tires were straightforward to mount, probably because they are all wire bead tires. Folding tires stretch easier, so they are easier to put on the rim.I paid the following amounts for these tires. I realize that these prices change over time, and these tires have become much more expensive recently, but they haven’t changed relative to each others’ prices. As a commuter, you may spend up to an hour or even more on your bike each way, which means that you need your bike to be as comfortable as possible. This starts with the tire, especially if your bicycle – like mine – doesn’t have a suspension fork.
