That is pretty good value - at that price I will have to overcome my prejudice towards Continental bike tyres. (I had a bad experience with Continental Top Contacts - both punctured with 60 miles of fitting and then every 20 miles or so one or other would go flat until I had enough. I know they weren't puncture resistant but it was very annoying)
I haven't got much experience of Continental bike tyres, but the Continental Cityride tyres on the Agattu I tested and reviewed impressed me. Very secure on any road surface and good braking grip, they also rolled well. The same bike had been the subject of A to B's review and in our combined mileage there were no punctures, despite my including testing on some terrible road surfaces:
Interesting, do you know what the difference is between the standard and "Plus", there's a 120g weight difference so presumably it's got better puncture protection.. Cheapest price I can find for the standard is £21.32 delivered, but can't find the Plus tyres.. maybe they're too new and not widely stocked? Shame they discontinued the cheap £12 ones..those were an absolute bargain.
Not a replacement Frank, they don't have the thick inner layer of the Marathon Plus and Contact Security ones.
Yes, I'm a firm believer in Schrader being universal too, though Presta are essential on the very narrow sport-bike tyres. The original Woods/Dunlop with it's little rubber sleeve worked ok although a tiny bit more work to pump. It's the introduction of the later valve seal types that's made them so poor. Oddly the Continentals still like them, though that's probably because they've got the right sort of pump connectors available.Can't see why they don't fit Schrader valved tubes as standard, changed mine last week from Woods/Dunlop valved tubes, you think Presta are bad
That's rather concerning as I often exceed that speed and over some rough roads as well.
