Continental Trainer Tyre

Hi All

Thought this might be of amusement 😄

Been using these tyres on my CompuTrainer for ages and like them but when they give up the ghost they give up the ghost big time. I managed to grab the camera after getting the wheel off, before the explosion that almost frightened me to death!

Check out my weblog (link in signature file) for the results! :eek:

Cheers,

Haha, how did you balance that egg on the tire 😄. I almost had a similar thing happen on the road not long ago. Luckily, I had some anti-puncture liners in the tires that kept the tube from bulging out. I made it home by carefully avoiding every small rock on the road. That was a slalom of a ride.

I've heard lots of bad things about these tires delaminating. I just use cheap Continental tires with plain ol' wire beads on the trainer and save the better tires for out on the road. I do most of my training on the trainer anyway...
