City-/Trekking 50 tyres 51 Travel CONTACT Once around the world The Travel CONTACT is the globetrotter under tyres, Sport CONTACT II especially suitable for touring bikes and ATBs. The product is characterised by the resilient and viable carcass and special sidewall protection. Through the semi-slick tread, this travelling companion has low rolling resistance but still provides good cornering traction. A perfect companion for every terrain.

Plus tyres 58 59 Maximum safety. We don’t like punctures! The Plus tyre range offers you effective protection against flat tyres. An almost impenetrable puncture protection bead made out of highly elastic special rubber guarantees safety during all journeys. Shards of glass, nails and even drawing pins don’t stand a chance. From the choice of numerous profiles and sizes there is a tyre for all uses to get you safely from A to B. Tip: Combine the Plus tyres with a Hermetic Plus tube. This thicker and stronger tube stays inflated for longer and has a greater resistance to punctures. Bike shops swear by this combination. Our conversations over the years with New York’s toughest Fixie riders, the messengers of CycleHawk NY, continually provides us with new insights into the high demands placed on theserider’s tyres. N. B.: We recommend using a manometer when measuring.

Tubes and accessories 62 63 Tubes, rim tape, accessories. Details which make all the difference. It is often the small, unseen things which make it possible to get the most out of a product. For example using our Continental RevoSealant or a suitable and pressure resistant rim tape, like the Continental Easy Tape, which is available in many widths. Our tubular cement has also been tried and tested in cycling for many years, securing tubulars to aluminium rims as well as to carbon rims with our carbon specific version. These products along with our valve extensions, available in various lengths are indispensable accessories for bike racing. Continental tubes, which are made out of high quality butyl rubber with even wall thickness, are available in all possible sizes, styles and valve types and are all listed in order in the new, user friendly ContiTube System. We develop and manufacture all these small, useful products with the same care and precision with which wemanufacture our other cutting edge products, because it’s the detail which make the difference.

Bicycle tyre tubes The new ContiTube bicycle tube program makes it easier for you to find the ideal tube for your cycling demands. The user-friendly tube system is suitable for any size, length, design, type of valve and perfect for any tyre dimension and riding occasion. Varying tube types can affect your tyres’ handling characteristics: the Standard tube, available in all dimensions is the best choice for everyday cycling whilst Light & Supersonic varieties give racers the option of lower rotating weight, therefore increasing speed. The lightweight tubes have a lower thickness and so it is imperative that inflation pressures are maintained to prevent the risk of pinch flats. For worry free cycling, we recommend the Hermetic Plus tube. Its improved formula is lighter and more compact, which renders it very puncture resistant in the presence of higher butyl amounts and greater wall thickness. Since it retains air longer, it’s a favourite among bicycle rental agencies. Our Freeride and Downhill tubes are especially strong and bulky, which make it one of our favourites, since their extra wall thickness effectivelyprotects against punctures. ™ ArticleETRTO Dimension ContiTube Name Auto Schrader Blitz Dunlop Sclaverand/Presta/Fr. g PUCompact 8\" 34 mm 40 mm 42 mm54-110 8 1/2 x 2 > 8 x 1 3/4 Compact 8 80 25Compact 10\" 11\" 12\" 0180991* 95 25 10 x 1 5/8 Compact 10/11/12 95 2544-194 > 62-222 12 1/2 x 1.75 > 12 1/2 x 2 1/4 Compact 10/11/12 0181051 0181071* 0182211Compact 14\" 14 x 1 1/4 > 14 x 1 1/2 45 degree valve32-279 > 47-298 0181091 0181081* 0181121 90 25Compact 16\" 16 x 1 3/8 > 16 x 1.75 Compact 14 018113132-305 > 47-349 16 x 1.9 > 16 x 2.5 0181111* 0181191 100 2550-305 > 62-305 Compact 16 0181211 0181171* 0181231 130 25Compact 18\" 18 x 1 1/4 > 18 x 1.9 Compact 16 Wide 018127132-355 > 47-400 0181291 0181181* 115 25Compact 20\" 20 x 1 1/8 > 20 x 1 1/4 Compact 18 018223128-406 > 32-451 20 x 1 1/4 > 20 x 1.75 x 2 0181321 0181221 110 2532-406 > 47-451 20 x 1.9 > 20 x 2.5 Compact 20 Slim 0181281 130 2550-406 > 62-406 Compact 20 165 25Compact 24\" 24 x 1 1/4 > 24 x 1.75 x 2 Compact 20 Wide 0181311 24 x 2.0 > 24 x 2.4 0182241 155 2532-507 > 47-544 Compact 24 0181331 220 25 Compact 24 Hermetic Plus 200 2550-507 > 60-507 Compact 24 Wide*Compact D: 26 mm valve

Accessories Rim Strip Small component = large impact. A poorly constructed or unsuitable tyre rim tape can be the cause of many punctures. It is especially important with hollow section rims to use a pressure-resistant rim band which covers the entyre rim. The fabric-reinforced Continental Easy Tape rim protector is designed for use under high air pressure conditions. The various widths enable a perfect fit for all standard rims. The high pressure design for racing cyclists withstands up to 220 PSI, without becoming deformed. The flat construction type also significantly eases the job of tyre fitting.

The standard is a three-ply basic carcass. Additional breakers can be put under the tread in order to reinforce the tyre even more and to increase puncture protection. There are different types of breaker builds and materials for different uses whether they are highly elastic specialty rubber, such as our Plus brand or fabric breakers, such as PolyX and Vectran™ in our race tyres. You can see how the tyre is constructed in the tyre specification.

RIM SIZE Tyre-rim combination For clarification on sizing, all Continental bicycle tyres are 18 13C sized according to the ETRTO [European Tyre and Rim 20 13C 14C Technical Organisation] format: tyre width [mm] x tyre rim 14C diameter [mm], for example 23-622. This is placed on theNOMINALTYRE SECTION WIDTH (mm) 22 13C 14C 15C 16C 17C 18C 19C tyre sidewall.

In general, Continental 28 15C 16C 17C 18C 19C recommends that bicycle tyres only be mounted on hook 30 15C 16C 17C 18C 19C 20C 21C 22C 23C edge type rims because this type of rim holds the tyre more 32 17C 18C 19C 20C 21C 22C 23C securely, especially with air pressures exceeding 44 PSI. The 35 17C 18C 19C 20C 21C 22C 23C 24C 25C 27C 29C measurements for hook edge rims, for example 13C-622, are 37 17C 18C 19C 20C 21C 22C 23C 24C 25C 27C 29C given as; rim width in mm [size A], a “C” for crotchet [‘hook’ in 40 17C 18C 19C 20C 21C 22C 23C 24C 25C 27C 29C English] and the rim bed diameter in mm [size D].

Deutsche Technik in detail 76 77 Wide tyres go faster For a long time, a 20 mm tyre with 160 PSI or more was considered the fastest tyre – regardless of how uncomfortable it is to cycle on this type of tyre. However, it is impressive that a 23 mm tyre at 123 PSI, a 25 mm tyre at 94 PSI and a 28 mm tyre at 80 PSI have the same rolling resistance as a 20 mm tyre at 160 PSI. Yet at the same time, wide tyres offer more comfort and a broader range of applications – less air for bad roads and maximum pressure at fast time trials. The air pressure can also be reduced by 14 PSI in wet conditions to generate more grip. The trend towards wider wheel rims reflects the trend towards wider tyres – an optimum combination.ECO – the energy saving tyres Notes – Air pressureThe tyres with the Continental ECO logo benefit from over Air pressure directly influences the handling, durability100 years of experience in the development of mopeds and and the rolling resistance of a bicycle.

Ageing cracks can also occur.e-bikes up to 50 km/h. Air pressure which is too high makes the tyre feel rigid as its optimal elasticity is not realised. Traction, grip and rolling resistance may get worse. All bicycle tyre systems continually lose pressure. For this reason you should check your tyre pressure frequently. Touring bike and mountain bike riders should check their air pressure at least once a month; racing cyclists once a week. When using light and supersonic tubes, the air pressure should be checked before each ride. Notes – Weight Building light tyres is the declared goal of our developers and employees in our production facility. Occasionally however, there are small deviations from the weight information given in our catalogue. These result from tolerances in the tread thickness and rubberised material which cannot be avoided in the handwork of the manufacturing process. The weight information in the catalogue is based on the target weights which were determined in the pre–production series and is rechecked during the running production repeatedly. Deviations of up to 10 % of the target weights are thus possible according to the design.
