Continental should stick with something they do well.. instant soup..

Every time I ignore my own advice, bad things happen. One pieces of advice I’ve offered before has been, in summary, “Continental tyres suck“. For some reason I had two new Contis in the cupboard (must’ve been super cheap at Wiggle or something?) and used them on the Ribble. Installing them and one goes flat before even being ridden – I put that down to my sharp nails and a forcing on a tight fitting new tyre – but the Conti Curse is building..

Anyway, after only a couple of spins around RP I punctured on today’s club run. First time I’ve punctured during a run and I’ve been using some seriously cut up Rubinos for, er, ever. Worse is that the puncture was just some tiny piece of glass right through the centre of the tyre. Scottish Jim was using the same tyres and said they had a kevlar belt but looking at the puncture I’d be surprised if they do. Anyway, I reckon I’ll get some real tyres and then skid through the stupid contis on my commuter. Rant ends here.
