Hello Riders,
I just put a new pair of 700x25 tires on my lemond. I bought the Continental Ultra Sport.
I was a bit short on money and went for wire bead tires. I was under the impression that
the kevlar tire was a much better tire and easier to install. I don't know. I have been riding
long time and my only pair of kevlar bead tires was my last pair, they were Hutchinson Carbon Comp 700/23, they had a red stripe. Anyway, The new Continental Ultras seem to have that feel like they want to go.
I just want to let you know that the Hutchinson Carbon Comps, I had my share of flats. First day I ran over a 1 inch pine cone and it punctured the tube and ripped the sidewall, and I put a patch to cover the rip. I have had more flats on these tires, than any other pair of tires.
My bike came stock with IRC Red Storm 700/25 wire bead, and I liked those tires very much but I guess people and I myself have to try them all to find out which brand they like/prefer
These new Continental Ultra Sport seem to have a good rolling factor. These tires they just feel good.
