MegaSack DRAW - 6pm Christmas Eve - LIVE on our YouTube Channel
Wiggle are selling Continental Vertical 26,2.3 tyres for only ten pounds.Tempted to get some,they have got cracking reviews on wiggle website but im a bit sceptical of bike store customer reviews.Has anyone had any and if so what are they like because if there not very good id prefer just to pay ten to 15 quid more for a quality tyre like a high roller.
Standard one IMO are ok but the black chili ones are quite different.
They're OK and nothing more IMO, they're also very different in how they handle to a High Roller.
I have been using them for 3 years and found them bomb proof. Used them in the alps,this years Puffer 24 and midweek rides on my HT,just like to point out that I am 18stone and have only had a handful of flats with them on.
That's a pretty hard compound one in the sale, from the looks of it... OEM-spec? Conti make some pretty crappy tyres for OEM and I wouldn't pay £10 for the ones I've used, but can't say these will definitely be the same...
You couldn't pay me to ride on them. Great tyres that suddenly wash out for no reason with no warning. There's only so many times this can happen before you decide to save your own teeth and limbs and get rid of the ****ers. I hear good things about black chilli but until Shwalbe and Maxxis start pumping out absolute crap Conti will not get another penny of mine. I hacked mine up and chucked them just to make sure I was never tempted to put them on again!
I hated the set I had, washed out badly. Rubbish in the dry and rubbish in the wet
Incredibly unpredictable. Okay in the dry. But they give up quicker than the French in damp conditions and are lethal in the wet on hard.
On the other hand I've found Barrons to be excellent!
How things change, they used to be the standard "go-to" tyre on here!
I love the Verticals...when paired up with a gravity .
I Have the PROtection kevlar ones not the wire ones though
ive run them one a few bikes..
not so good on wet rocks but mud/loose soil/even snow there a good alrounder
just got a set of trailstar/pacestar Hans Dampf tyres other wise i would still be running them...BOOOM
