Conti Quality
Posted by Nico
I've had no problems whatsoever with fitting the tyre onto a Spank Race 33 rim. The trick is to use lots of soap water on the tyre bed and you don't even need to pump it up to 60ps to sit properly. I've ridden them for half a year and they show only slight wear. I have to mention that the front took some special abuse as I failed on many up to fronts and the tyre has skidded over the wall surface a LOT. Grip is awesome in all conditions, not as grippy as a Der Kaiser BCC though. I weigh 90kgs and run 43psi. I haven't had a single puncture yet and I'm far from a smooth rider.

Hi Nico - We've found that the Conti tyres seat well on Spank rims at lower pressures than 60psi too, but the soapy water will help. Just make sure you don't get it on your rotors! Thanks for the review.
Above average tyres
Posted by Jamie
Good solid sidewalls and a grippy tyre does what it says on the tin, however saying that i don't think they are worth much more than holy rollers that i've been using previously tho as i found them hard to seat properly on my rim and they seem to be slightly misshapen where it refuses to settle down, this could well just be my experience, schwalbe's crazy bobs/table tops have been known to do have similar problems but i had no problems with either, so it's a tricky one to call. Still worth buying these tho purely for the black chilli compound.

Hi Jamie - thanks for your review! A few people have reported issues getting these tyres seated properly. The most effective way we have found is to put a small amount of washing up liquid around the bead, and then pump the tyres up to a high pressure. The soap lets the tyre move around a little easier to help it find its home, and then you can let some air out to your desired pressure. Hope that helps! Thanks, Flipp.

Hello - These tyres have a foldable kevlar bead. Thanks, Mark
Hey, Is it possible to get the custom silver Logo edition? Thanks, Stefan

Hi Stefan - Unfortunately they appear to have been a very limited edition and we aren't able to get hold of them, sorry! Thanks, Mark
Do the continental tyres come as a set ( front back )? or do I need to buy them both separately for front and back?

Hi Jordan - These tyres are sold individually, not as a pair. Thanks, Mark
Time for a new set of rubbers but I'm on the hex... Is there anything you've heard about these possibly becoming available for 26"? I'm probably going to grab another set of holy rollers this time but I've had my fingers crossed for so long on these haha, kudos on the new site!

Hi Coy - Thanks for the comment, we're glad you like the new site! Unfortunately, I don't see these becoming available in 26", sorry. Continental had to have a lot of pushing to make these more widely available for 24" bikes, so with the lack of demand for 26" bikes I don't see it happening. Sorry I can't be more help! Thanks, Mark
hi, when do you expect to have more Continental Danny tyres?

Hi Daniel - Unfortunately we have no information when they will be available again, sorry! We are hoping some time in December but there is no confirmation. Thanks, Mark
i just bought these and i was wondering What size inner tubes do danny and ali c ride
Posted by Ruaraidh
Reply from TartyBikes
Hi Ruaraidh - Danny and Ali tend to use fairly standard 24" innertubes in their tyres. Tubes like either the Jitsie Light or Schwalbe Downhill tubes would be a good option as they've got good volume (so the tube walls don't have to stretch too much to fill the tyre), and are made of a good material so are more supple/flexible which reduces the chances of pinch flats. Thanks, Mark
Hi there, just curious, if I were to buy these rims: http://www.odysseybmx.com/catalog/rims/hazard-lite/ would they fit this tyre? double checking because there might be some thing i've missed considering it's a 'bmx' rim. Thanks in advance!

Hi Rokas - As long as you have the 24" Hazard Lite rims then there's no problem running the Continental tyres on them. Thanks, Mark
Hello ! I would like to buy this Continental tyres with the spank subrosa rims, what is thes less pressure allowed to keep the tyre right in the rim, because the rim is not very large, and the tyre is very large, and it will cause problem ?¿? Thanks, Jules ;)

Hi Jules - If you use much less than 25psi I think you would start to get a lot of tyre fold/roll, and it would also increase the chances of you getting pinch punctures when landing onto harsher edges. Most people tend to run 30-40psi and don't seem to have any problems. Thanks, Mark
Hi! I've a Onza Zoot 24" whit 24x2.30 original tyre, and I wanted to know if this continental fits on it! Is it a little larger? I want more grip and doing better manuals. Thanks!
Posted by Alberto
Reply from TartyBikes
Hi Alberto - thanks for your question. Yes, you would be able to fit this tyre in that frame with no problems. These tyres use a much grippier compound than the tyres fitted as standard to the Zoot bike, so that should help you there! Thanks, Flipp.
Hello! Do you know what tyre pressure Ali C. runs, in both wheels, thanks.
Posted by Johan
Reply from TartyBikes
Hi Johan - Ali just popped in to say hi, and he says he's quite fussy about tyre pressures and runs precisely 42psi! Hope that helps. Thanks, Flipp.
Hi! How would you compare the compound of these tires to the ST from Maxxis and the Try-All compound? I was running underwater and crashed badly because my Maxxis with 60A compound were horrible in those conditions, and my friend was riding his Try-All Stiky light and Shift tires as it was dry! Thanks

Hi - The Maxxis ST and Try-All compounds are the same, and this tyre is a small amount harder, but it is still very grippy. Definitely better than the 60A Maxxis. We have a few customers using them for 'pure' trials so far and they have been veyr happy with them! Thanks.
Hello, I ride the Inspired Skye Orange, with the Continental Danny Macaskill tyres and I run them with Kenda Unboxed 24" tubes. I'm a big fan of Danny. I'm just wondering if you know what tire pressure Danny uses on both wheels. I actually ride the same style. If not, what's prefered to my tube and tires? Thanks alot.

Hi Johan - thanks for your question. We don't know exactly what tyre pressure Danny runs, though they're clearly pretty firm. The best option is just to run them at a pressure that is comfortable for you. If you get punctures or feel you roll too slowly then a little more pressure, and if you roll too fast or jar your wrists a lot then a little less. Around 30-40psi would be a good place to start for your style of riding. Hope that helps. Thanks, Flipp.
hi, is that carbon-like sidewall just decorative or is it reinforced in some way? I'm looking for something that would withstand more curb slides than a holy roller..
Posted by Daniel
Reply from TartyBikes
Hi Daniel - thanks for your question. The woven appearance is purely cosmetic, though these tyres have much thicker sidewalls than the Holy Rollers which will have exactly the effect you want. Thanks, Flipp.
How come these tyres are so expensive? Is there a noticeable difference between these and the holy rollers? Thanks!
Posted by Harry
Reply from TartyBikes
Hi Harry - there are a few reasons for this. They are made from Continental's hi-tech Black Chili compound which allows for a super grippy tyre that doesn't wear down too fast. They also feature a Kevlar bead, saving weight over a traditional steel wire bead but makes the tyre more expensive as a result. Being individually hand-made in Germany in relatively low numbers also increases cost over a tyre that is mass-produced in Taiwan. Holy Rollers are good tyres and are perfect for many riders, but Continental have made these to provide the best tyre possible to those looking for ultimate performance. Hope that helps! Thanks, Flipp.
