Tire question
May 23rd, 2010, 6:31pm
 
I bought a 700 Aerospoke for the back of the Elite and it appears I might have clearance problems with the 1.35" Kojak, I know about 26" tires but not 700's, from what it looks like the Continental Grand Prix 4000 700x24 should work but anyone know what kind of mileage I can expect from it?

I've heard that the 4000's wear really well, but don't ride quite as well as the old GP's.

I like the ones I have, but haven't worn them out yet, some 2000 miles or so and going strong.
 
650c x 23 size.
 
Take Care,
