The Super Sport Plus is specifically engineered for urban and fixie riding, featuring an extra-thick casing and a robust 'Plus Breaker' puncture protection layer designed to withstand the harsh conditions and stresses of city cycling, such as skids and impacts.
The maximum inflation pressure is 120 psi. It's best to check the sidewall of the tire for the specific recommended range and adjust based on your weight and riding conditions for optimal performance and comfort.
While the tire offers a durable and grippy profile, its slick design is optimized for urban conditions. For extremely wet or slippery surfaces, caution is advised, as treaded tires may offer superior grip.
TPI stands for Threads Per Inch. A higher TPI generally indicates a more supple and lighter tire, but can sometimes be less durable. 84 TPI in the Super Sport Plus represents a good balance between suppleness for a smoother ride and the durability needed for urban environments.
Yes, the Super Sport Plus is suitable for road bikes, especially if you prioritize puncture resistance and durability for commuting or riding on varied road surfaces. However, riders focused purely on racing performance might prefer lighter, higher-TPI racing tires.
A folding bead uses flexible aramid fibers, making the tire lighter and easier to fold for storage or transport. A wire bead is more rigid and typically found on heavier-duty tires, though it offers a very secure fit.
The Continental Super Sport Plus tire weighs approximately 320 grams.
Ensure the bead is evenly seated all around the rim. Sometimes deflating the tire slightly and pushing the bead into the rim channel can help. Check for any obstructions.
Verify the tire is inflated to the correct pressure. Check the tire tread and sidewalls for small, embedded sharp objects that might have missed the primary protection layer. Ensure no damage to the inner tube.
The tire may not be seated perfectly or could be damaged. Try remounting the tire. Inspect the rim for damage or warping.
Ensure the tire is at room temperature. Sometimes slightly stretching the bead can help. Use tire levers with caution to avoid damaging the bead or inner tube.
