User questions & answers

Question:	I was going to replace the rear wheel knobby m.bike tire with one of these to use on my indoor bike trainer stand so it runs quieter. will this work

Question:	what is the maximum pressure I can put in the tire
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Are these tires interchangeable with my current 27.5 x 2.3 tires
Answer:	about 8" for the seat and 3" for the handle bars.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is that inner white portion in the picture just a spacer before installation, or are these tires tubeless
Answer:	Probably not so good
Question:	Is it a set? 2 tires
Answer:	It's dark grey or black as it is a copy of carbon fiber. The red end is able to reflect any light that shines on it.
Question:	What is the ISO diameter of this rim, is it 406, 451 or
Answer:	yeah,it fits for 29inch tire
Question:	Will a 20 x 1.5 tire work on that
Answer:	If you have a standard 9mm QR hub it will fit. A 100mm hub will measure around 110mm if you measure it with the axle and cone nuts
Question:	I need a 20" x 1.95 wheel can I use this wheel which is 20" X
Answer:	that i don't know my don't have that problem
Question:	What is the weight limit
Answer:	Yes,it can fit.
Question:	Does this cover the battery pack area
Answer:	Hello.This mountain bike front fork does not have a star nut, you can buy one in our shop if you need it. Thanks for your understanding.
Question:	Would this work over a large wheelchair
Answer:	Hi I wear a 12 and these fit me well. I think if you are a 13 these may be tight.
Question:	Can this be used by a kid who is about 70 lbs and 48 inches tall on a Drive scout mobility scooter
Answer:	The previous version did run small. The 2021 version (Ranger) is fairly true to size. Two things to note - First, and most importantly, bike shoes are not supposed to fit like athletic shoes, there should be no extra room. They should be snug without being tight, to minimize foot movement. Most people wear their athletic shoes at least 1/2 size large and expect bike shoes to fit the same, which they shouldn't Second, Giro has a 60 day comfort guarantee, you can try them and if not happy, return them for a refund. Giro just wants to know what you didn't like Hope that helps
Question:	Do you have a rain poncho for power chair
Answer:	I would not recommend this style shoe unless you are using clip in pedals. The bottom of the shoe would not have good traction on the pedals depending on what you are looking for.

User questions & answers

Question:	My current tires are 700 by 40 are the 700 by 42 close enough
Answer:	Generally you want to stay within 100mm travel but the extra 20mm of travel shouldn't be an issue if it seems like the travel is too far then put some extra air pressure in the fork.
Question:	Will these tires fit on a standard tire rim
Answer:	Any 26" front wheel with disc mounts can fit. I have a 26x2.0 wheel in the front with a 26x2.5 tire on it, that's as wide as can probably get it staying in the safe zone.
Question:	How does this compare to the Contact II tire
Answer:	The crown race all depends on what type of headset you choose to use. Ball bearing or sealed bearings. You can pick up a complete ball bearing or sealed bearing headset for threadless and it should come with its own crown race for the application. Any LBS (local bike shop) should carry these items so you can see first hand what you’re getting and hopefully the shop attendant will help to explain what you’re looking for further.
Question:	Picture shows contact plus city. description says country plus. which tire is this listing for
Answer:	maybe this bike fender is more suitable for fat tire bike https://www.amazon.com/FETESNICE-Cycling-Mountain-Bicycle-Mudguard/dp/B01LM4D9DC/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=fetesnice&qid=1588172955&sr=8-5

User questions & answers

Question:	x23 vs 700x25, what's the difference and which is faster
Answer:	Define lo que es cubierta con cámara , puedes elegir entre cual llevar . En cuanto a la denominación factor decisivo pienso que es porque solo se puede llevar con cámara . A la otra puedes usarla de ambas maneras.
Question:	Kinda Stupid Question but...Does this include BOTH tires
Answer:	In short, yes. Search for "sheldon brown tire sizing" to get all the details. TL;DR - There is no such thing as a "700x28" tire. That designation is incomplete. You need the "c", which is actually associated with the 700, not the 28, even though it is often written as "700x28c", for example. People often refer to "28c" tires, etc., but it isn't really helpful to include "c" there, often leading people, usually Americans unfamiliar with the metric system, to think of 28 centimeters. "700c" is equivalent to ETRTO 622 mm bead seat diameter. In recent times, the most confusing use of this style of naming is with so-called "650" wheels/tires. It used to refer to 650c sizing used for time trial bikes, recumbents and small sized or women's road bikes, and is equivalent to ETRTO 571 mm bead seat diameter. These days, when people say "650" they actually mean "650b", which is ETRTO 584 mm bead seat diameter, used on all sorts of bikes these days, usually to accommodate fatter tires while having an effective tire diameter similar to a "700c" with skinnier tires. Personally, I prefer tire sizing like 28-622 (equivalent to 700x28c) because the numbers are actually meaningful, describing the width and bead seat diameter in millimeters. The "700" number used to be meaningful, but not really anymore. The 28 number is meaningful in describing the width, but gets obscured when referred to as "28c", which could refer to a 650x28c or 700x28c tire, while 28-571 or 28-622 are unambiguous.
Question:	If I mount the tire to rotate in the reverse direction, will I travel backwards in time
Answer:	these are priced as singles, the price would be the same anyway. You should be able to put 2 in your cart.
Question:	Will these tires help me get laid
Answer:	I can only speak to the 28mm tires, I have not tried other widths. In my experience the (28mm) 5000 tires are much narrower than the 4000s II 28mm tires. You'll see a review from me on Aug 29, 2019 that shows the difference between the two 28mm tires. Whether or not the difference matters is a personal preference for the most part.

Continental Gatorskin Tire

The Continental Gatorskin is the ultimate training & racing tire where puncture protection is a priority. Using the latest proprietary technology against flats the Gatorskin range uses PolyX Breaker and DuraSkin sidewall protection.

The Gatorskin tire is made for the long haul. Backed by PolyX Breaker, a tried and true puncture protections system and the DuraSkin anti-cut fabric turn the Gatorskin into a true long distance runner.

DuraSkin - the ultimate sidewall

Tires with DuraSkin sidewall protection have to be able to roll with the punches. They are used under the harshest conditions. On messenger bikes, the tires skid along curbs; on touring bikes, they cross continents without wearing out. During races, they have to endure tough tests such as the Paris-Roubaix. The high-quality polyamide fabric protects the tire casing against the worst conditions. These tires stand out thanks to their signature brown sidewalls.

PolyX Breaker - proven technology

Continental's PolyX Breaker brings their car expertise to the bicycle tire segment. Polyester has been used successfully for years in Continental's car tires and been tried and tested many times. The extremely resistant polyester fiber is woven tightly crosswise. In this way, a very high fabric density is reached which not only makes the Breaker more resistant to foreign objects but is also especially resistant to punctures. This protection is accomplished without affecting rolling resistance.

Gatorskin for every rider

The ever popular, tried and true Gatorskin is available in wire bead and folding versions that span a wide variety of tire sizes. Designed for commuting, touring, or heavy training - the Gatorskin will not let you down.

Bestselling Tires on Amazon

Reviews don't lie. With 1000's of online reviews here on Amazon and other cycling forums across the web, the Gatorskin is consistently the highest rated and bestselling bike tire. Often imitated, but never duplicated, this legend will live on forever.

More than 100 years experience in the development and production of bicycle tires has made Continental a unique company within the industry.

Inside Continental's technology and development center in Korbach, they are constantly developing new revolutionary technologies such as the unbeatable Black Chili compound and the ultimate Vectran breaker anti-puncture technology, both used at the top end of race sport.

User questions & answers

Question:	I have bike 700 x 38 c and I want now if this size fits on it
Answer:	Not goat skin... The name is GATOR skin which simply means they are tough. I'll use nothing but these tires. They ride great and are incredibly puncture resistant. I routinely achieve 4000 miles before having to change them. Good tires and I have friends who ride them based on my recommendation. No goat skin here!
Question:	My current tires are 700x35c. Can I use the gator skins 700x28? As a replacement
Answer:	I'm not sure what your'e asking but the gp5000's are not really foldable but they do come folded in the box. The reason I say no is because the bundle of folded tire is very big and not really suited for carrying.

Answer:	Hi Amit... I am not a 100% sure on that. Best thing to do if not stated from where you purchased it from is to go to Kenda website and input their part # to get all specs to see if it has the option to run it that way.
Question:	Are these Kevlar? And good for stopping punctures
Answer:	I just got a pair of 26x2.35. They ARE tubeless!
Question:	Is this for a pair or single
Answer:	I use this tire with Stans tubeless kit, tubeless kit on both 26 and 29 sizes. I have also used it on 2 different tubeless ready rims (stans arch and enve) and i have never had any problems with them. I use them with stans sealant. I do have to say that in ine of my tires i experienced "sweating" of the sealant through the tire walls, but it is minimal and only in one tire after about 800 miles and 7 months of use.I do recommend them though.
Question:	Is this a durable tire to use on packed limestone trails
Answer:	The foldable tire has a kevlar bead and the non-foldable has a steal bead. The Kevlar bead tire is lighter. They both do the exact same thing once on the rim. Foldable or non foldable is in reference to the tire being able to be folded when not installed on a rim.

The Benchmark in puncture protection

Vectran is a synthetically manufactured high-tech fiber from a natural model. Like spider silk, Vectran is a liquid-crystalline polymer (LCP). Vectran is spun from the melted liquid polymer Vectra and processed further to a multi-strand thread. Spider silk like Vectran has an enormous tear resistance at a very low weight: Exactly the right properties to process into a premium Continental bicycle tire as a puncture protection insert. A Vectran Breaker is lighter, more flexible and protects more effectively against cuts than the comparable nylon breaker. Vectran Breaker does not adversely affect the rolling resistance.
