No, I love your mum I just don't trust Continental any more.

That snippet (above) came from the bike tyre page on their web site. I have had sets of Continental car tyres and had a couple of very nasty accidents (involving loss of grip) which probably makes me more inclined to buy Michelin now. And of course: "The passenger tire plant in Clairoix...

Want 30% more range from your battery or 30% more speed from a bog standard 250 W pedelec mid motor?

"As a global player, Continental also maintains high-tech production facilities outside of Germany, where Continental tyres are produced for you with an equal degree of care and dedication. One thing all Continental bicycle tyres have in common is that they are developed in the technology center...

Ahem... "Schwalbe is the brand. Bohle is the company. Owned by the family Bohle since its establishment in 1922, the company is now being managed by the third generation. Schwalbe international. Headquarters in Germany, subsidiaries in France, Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands and...

Their force is they make the specialized types and sizes some of us need - they don't steer away from smaller niche markets. Find me a wide tyre in 24" and 20" size from a decent brand name company for example.

Not to mention a large increase in obesity with the diabetes and other complications that brings...

Because they make good quality, comfortable tyres in the sizes I need. I don't care much about the brand on the tyre as long as it does the job I ask it to. I am currently running 5 Big Bens in 3 different sizes and have nothing but good things to say about them. I wouldn't be seen dead with a...

Expensive! It is waterproof so you can bolt it to the frame and charge up anywhere you can find a plug.

Yes it is.

You were caught on a speed camera

Fine. I thought you might be a Continental tyre salesman :rolleyes:

Going out on a limb here because we don't know if the "fault" is on the same side of the bike: - I agree with d8veh's theory of bad instalation - if the two different types of tyre have the fault on the same side regular rubbing when parking or tyres exposed to direct sunlight when parked? No...

Because you are not answering one very simple important question to get to the root cause, that is why.

Why aren't you answering the important question I am asking? We have had your anti-Schwalbe rant and yet as an "engineer" we aren't getting the facts, that is a sure way of annoying people... This is Michelin tyre with 3600+ km and 12 months old the side wall has failed, the front tyre is as...

I looked again and the photo on the rim, well how can I say it... I totally agree with the Schwabe representative it doesn't look like a serious problem. At all. And I am trying to find an explanation especially now that you say there are two different types of tyre with the same threading...

It actually doesn't look too bad from the photo, a shame we don't have a photo of it on the rim and fully inflated I tend to agree with the reply Schwalbe gave you and think you are the one who is over reacting. Is the other one in exactly the same condition? Is it on the same side? Notice...

The most important one is the one you clipped: Constant load per cell: approx. 3.7A or 7A in peak load. 7 x 3 = 21 Amps peak, 720 W with a 20A controller 3.7 x 3 = 11.1 Amps constant, factor in some loss and you get about 360 W

??? 1. a major company replied 2. they were polite and helpful 3. not buying from them any more... If you can find better service elsewhere please let us know! e-bike 25 means it can handle 10 kg extra weight, 25 km/h speed and a bit of extra torque. Most bike tyres can do that. EU certified...
