Advantages: Lightweight and fast, should be hard wearing... Disadvantages: Expensive, but worth it !
Just been for my first ride on my new ContinentalGrand Prix 4000 tyres, and thought I'd let you know about them. I know it's only a first use test, but will update this review when I've had them for a while. Also, I've assumed that if you're reading this, you have some interest and/or knowledge of bicycles. I hope that's OK...
Continental have over 100 years experience in the development and production of road and mountain bike tyres, at the Continental Two-Wheel division's technology and development centre in Korbach in Germany.
The Grand Prix 4000 road/race tyre is the sucessor to the excellent Grand Prix 3000 that I've had on my bike for 2 years or so. It's a "clincher" tyre (as opposed to a tubular tyre), so should fit most road/race wheels/rims. It was a bit of a narrow decision between these and the Continental Attack ...
Advantages: All the comfort and facilities one could ask for. Disadvantages: There is a strong presence of people staying in the hotel on business.
I stayed at the Grand Hyatt Beijing with my family and had a great time, it really is a superb Hotel. We were only in Beijing for 2 nights and wanted to ensure we stayed in a hotel which was in a good location and was of a high standard . This ticked all the right boxes, the service and quality of the hotel was 5 star and located in the centre of Beijing, the hotel is just moments from Tian An Men Square, the Forbidden City, the city centre and the Wang Fu Jing shopping street, what more could you ask for.

After a long day visiting the attractions Beijing has to offer the is no place better to go and relax than the hotels huge tropically landscaped indoor swimming pool, followed by a delicious meal in one of the hotels retaurants and a drink in one of the bars. All in all i would highly ...
Advantages: Make an MTB better on road Disadvantages: Can be hard to find. No good off road
Continental have produced the Grand Prix tyre in mtb size. 26" x 1"
It has the same tread pattern as the road tyre and is very light (c.200g)
Foldable too - with a kevlar bead
I rode them on my Specialised mtb over the summer on a commute (8 miles each way) and they are superb for use on the road. It is the closest to a road bike tyre that I have ever seen, is very responsive and feels fast!
If you ride an mtb mostly on the road and can feel the energy sapping from your legs with big knobbly tyres, you could do far worse than get a pair of these!
They seem very durable too and can be inflated to decent pressures too - I ran them at close to 100 psi
They are quite rare in shops and I had to search through a few on line stores to find one that listed them and had them in stock. ...
