Continental Protection Worth It?

Unknown · May 2007

Getting prety peeved off with punctures
from what I think are thorns on my Conti
Speedkings

Are the Protection version really any
better?

Kind of defeats the object of the weight cutting

I need light but strong idealy

I haven't had a puncture in 3 months with Conti protection tyres.... had 3 in a week, including 2 in 20 mins on a cycle path before that.

You can get slime strips og tape that you put in between tyre and tube that add some more protection.

It's always going to happen. You will always trade weight for protection, just like you trade cost against weight when buying bikes.

DSLdude, on the topic of speedkings, how're you finding them, since I'm thinking of a nobby nic front and speedking rear.

Yeah there doing well much faster than the
Gravitys they replaced, and even though
there not made for mud I have took them
on the moors which in places have been quite
boggy, and they have performed better than expected
they have been fine on dry gravel too and havent slid
out.

will buy agian but will try protection version
beacuse there not as nobley as some tyres they
seem prone to puncutes in the flat part of the tyre
