Continental GP4000's

Bianchi Boy

This may sound a bit anal and sad, but I've just fitted my GP4000's, and in doing so have reduced the weight on my bike by 200g.

I weighed my old Rubino tyres at around 309g, and the conti's weighed in at 209g.

How good is that.

I'm happy for you.

Judging by another thread, this means that when you slide in the wet you will get clobbered by less weight as you slide down the road with your bike in close pursuit [;)]

Well done! You'll love em! Besides, reducing rotating mass will make the bike feel livelier and more responsive.
I've been running 25c 3m reflective GP4000s since January in all sorts of conditions, and they've been great.

I read somewhere that the reduction in rotating mass is equal to three times static mass (this sounds a little optimistic)... though ultimately you lose the flywheel effect too.
