2000 miles no flats
by Randy K. of Otsego, MN on August 2, 2020
Ownership: a few months
Tech Knowledge: average
Better than average flat protection, lots of broken glass and rocks on my ride. Check the air weekly
Great tire
by B. of Richmond, CA on August 3, 2018
Product:
Continental Gator Hardshell Tires - 27 x 1-1/4" Steel Bead
Ownership: a month
Tech Knowledge: somewhat high
Pros
Extremely durable. I ride over a glass strewn bike path every day, so the extra strength is necessary. And it's very hard to find strong commuter tires in 27 x 1-1/4.
Other Thoughts
Would be nice if there were a little tread instead of being just a slick but I'm not complaining.
So far, no flats
by Jonathen L. of Chalfont, PA on December 14, 2016
Product:
Continental Gator Hardshell Tires - 27 x 1-1/4" Steel Bead
Ownership: two months
Tech Knowledge: average
Pros
strong, not as likely to have flats
Cons
heavy, not foldable (i don't really care), somewhat more difficult to install.
Other Thoughts
I've had many many recommendations for these tires, and after a season of constant flats, i've finally caved and got them. So far, they've held out very well. They on a less-ridden commuter, so don't get to excited, i don't really have much experience with them yet. All I can say is that it's wonderful not coming out of the office to be presented with a rear flat tire, 10 minutes before your train leaves.
So far, so good!
