What's the difference between Continental GatorSkin DuraSkin Folding Tire and Continental Gatorskin Wire Bead Road Bike Tire?

The wire bead tires don't fold. The DuraSkin folders can be carried in a jersey pocket or a saddle bag, while the wire bead tires remain full-size, regardless of whether they're already installed.

The ThickSlik I am using is a 25C tire and they are bullet proof on my Cannondale 3.0 frame. I ride in New England better known as Pot Hole Heaven. Love these tires for training rides.

No reason to weigh. I'm sure published wts are close enough. It's not super light like the other Clement folding.No experience with Stan's. Sorry. Email Clement. I rode the LAS tire for R2D2. Light and really great tire.

Tires are right around an inch, to an inch and a half wide. Similar to road tires, rather than mountain bike tires

Tire size (apart from brakes) is also different according to the description. This one uses 700x25c and the other uses 700x28c

The thread is most likely different because this a gum wall 27 inch tire and not a regular 700c. You can ride these at lower pressure but that's not always advantageous. they have less rolling resistance and better handling but are way thinner. You will get flats. I havs gotten flats from staples and thorns. These have a great look for a restoration project for city touring. If you want to be indestructible. Go for some Gatorskins. They don't look as good but flats are far more rare. I believe there are also Panaracers with Kevlar.

I have 700c on my hybrid. I think its a compromise tire. I toured Idaho this year and was able to leave other road bikes at will. My only complaint is that i think the tires i got from the Amazon seller were old stock with dry rot after just one year.

Here is the long answer that should tell you everything you need to know about tubes and tires. First off, let's decode some of the numbers. 700C or 29" are both the rim size ISO 622 (that is 622mm in diameter where the bead of the tire seats on the rim). When you're looking at road tires, they're more likely to say 700C (from an old French system of naming tire/rim sizes) and when you're looking at mountain tires, they're more likely to say 29". Occasionally, some European tires, especially Continental, will try to confuse the matter by calling them 28" - but look fir the 622 to be sure of the size. 23/25 or 18-23 on a tube indicate a range of tire widths with which the tube is compatible. Since an 18mm wide tire has a much smaller cross section than a 25mm tire (just imagine those as the diameter of a circle), a tube designed to fit a 25mm tire can be much too big for an 18mm tire. In that case you'd risk getting the tube folded on iteself or pinched under the tire's bead - both of which can cause a flat. So, when selecting a tube, you should get the narrowest range that will fit. If you had a 23mm wide tire, 18/23 would be a better choice than 23/25, though both will be better than a 28/32, for example. The 48 or 42 mm length listed below is the length of the presta stem. Different manufacturers measure stems differently, so it's hard to get an accurate comparison, but a 32 will be shorter than a 42 will be shorter than a 60 and so on. You just need 12-15mm of stem to stick beyond the rim so you can get a pump onto it, though, for some people, a little extra length isn't a bother. If you've got a deep rim, you'll need a longer valve stem. But if the 48mm stick through with plenty of extra, a 42 is a safe choice. ORDER ROAD RACE TUBE. Thus is your present tire is a 25, I would get the 20-25 tube, less chance of the tube folding over or pinching it because it is too big. Hope all of this information is useful in the future.

They're 2x to 3x heavier and provide a fair amount of resistance, especially on the mid to low end of the ideal tire inflation range. I switched 100% to non-slimed tubes and instead use wide Tuffies and a reinforced tire. Plus, the tubes are a third cheaper!

The 1.5 size offered in this tire is fairly narrow, too small for some wider rims on beach cruisers (1.75-2.125); 1.75 is narrower than a typical mountain bike tire (1.9-2.0). It is odd that a tire would have two sizes 1.5 and 1.95 at the same time; usually that is reserved for other components (tubes, liners, rims) that fit a range of "different" tires. For example, I've seen a "Presta" Mountain Bike Tire Tube listed on eBay sized at 26x1.5/26x1.95, but those are tubes, not tires. Hope this helps.

You have to click on the ZT735 description and it should tell you what size TIRES that it fits. The rim size is slightly irrelevant as the tire is what makes up the total diameter and circumference. The cable chain is attached to the tire not the wheel. You can also google tire size - diameter and find the actual diameter for each size tire if needed.

According to Security chain website for that size tire, they suggest the QG2221 (standard twistlink chains) or QG2821 (standard twistlink chains with v-bar welded on).

Continental tires are of German origin. The Manufacturer, Continental AG, is headquartered in Hanover, Germany. It's North American tire division is based in South Carolina, USA. I purchased 4 of these tires earlier this year (2014), and they have performed very well. They are quiet on the road. Their performance is of superior quality, with competitive pricing. I would highly recommend these tires.

Can't say for sure but would assume they are different. I ordered the medium, about 1 inch in diameter. Additional realization: it does rattle on bike frame. I just wrapped a Velcro strip around pump or you could wrap it around the bike frame. It did work quit well for the test run. I have yet a need to use it. :)

The tires that came on mine were Kenda's 700x23. I did not like them at all. Replaced with a Continental gatorskin on front and a Schwelbe marathon (sp?) on back. Both of these far superior to the original equipment in my opinion.
