tmks88 Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 i have a little problem with continental tires. they can take hits and all kind of abuse and are superb tires, just sharp stuff get through them too easily, like glass pieces and I even broke it while doing a hook to a sharp top wall.....so I was thinking that maybe adding like 2 layers of tape in the tyre should fix it? and tape doesnt add much weight either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialschallenger Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 couldnt you line the inside of the tyre with an old inertube? or a couple? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmks88 Posted April 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 takes more time than just adding a few layers of tape and is softer and also heavieradding just a few layers is strong enough to keep sharp stuff coming through but im thinking if it affects the feel of the tire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dannoo Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 I run the Continental Queen as rear tyre.. Though I havent abused it VERY much, it has sure taken some hits and hard edges.. and havent had any puncture yet. I use some maxxis lightweight downhill tube in it.The feeling of this tyre is awesome!! I love it Its really light, and grippy!Please let us know whats going on with your tyre tmks88!
