I like the cheapness of continentals

I have a brain new pair of a folding Conti XKing tyre for £30 if interested.

Thanks lads..i had a pair of mountain kings and loved the grip,but the punchers i was getting where out of this world..
once bitten an all that..

I've never had any problems I run 2.2s and about 30psi.
I'm like that with avid brakes second set I've had on a bike and bleed them all the time . Hayes not quite as good but maintenance free

Yes I was tempted by the price and got some, I'd say they are good for XC, roll nice and quick and are light. Seem to make a good seal if you run tubeless (I don't, so wouldn't really know)... but I took them off again after using them at Aston Hill - the side knobs not as good high rollers / minions for cornering. In retrospect I would have chosen the XC high rollers for a lighter tyre option for a bit more grip, but if you don;t need as much they are a good discount.
