As much as I'd love to try GP5000's, a set would be something like $200+, while the Ultra Sport III I've been using are $29 each with zero issues and plenty of tread after 3000km.
Unless I'm racing for money, I can't justify the premium. ๐ฎโ๐จ
Aren't they like $50 each?
In Canada, the lowest end in the series are over $100. The tubeless version is $140 ๐ญ
Does anyone else have bad experience with Conti tires? Car, bicycle, motorcycle... I find they wear out quickly, have less traction, are more flat-prone, and have much weaker sidewalls than tires in the same market segment. I gave up on Conti on my bicycle when the sidewalls would start to disintegrate ~1500 miles. My car and motorcycle both came with Contis from the factory. Just terrible. I put Michelin Pilot Sport on the car and motorcycle, and Vittoria Rubino Pro on the daily commuter. Never looked back.
I've only had Kenda, Bontrager, and Chao Yang: All of them pretty much fine. I've heard a lot of people speak highly of GP5000s though.
Ebikes, bicycles, scooters, skateboards, longboards, eboards, motorcycles, skates, unicycles, heelies, or an office chair: Whatever floats your goat, this is all things micromobility!
"Transportation using lightweight vehicles such as bicycles or scooters, especially electric ones that may be borrowed as part of a self-service rental program in which people rent vehicles for short-term use within a town or city.
micromobility is seen as a potential solution to moving people more efficiently around cities"
