I hope someone doesn't mind verifying for me if this tire (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Continental-Ultra-GatorSkin-DuraSkin-Tyre/dp/B000NGT2X2/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top) will fit my bike (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Vittesse-Sprint-21-speed-Alloy-Racing/dp/B003DZ15CQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=sports&ie=UTF8&qid=1316439079&sr=1-1). The problem I've had is that the original tire on the back wheel of my bike has gone out of shape (lasted over 1250 miles) and I'm in need for a replacement. Hopefully, this tire is a good make and is low resistance but if anyone has any other tires that they'd like to recommend please feel free to do so - the faster the tire the better!

Dear Novice cyclist, the best way to make sure that you get the right fitting tyre is to look for the size written on the original tyre on the bike itself. It will have an ERTO number, the inside or rim diameter of the tyre followed by the size of the tyre in millimetres. If your tyre is a metric 700c size it will have 622 followed probably by a 25 or 28, i.e. 622-25 or 622-28 (which looks like the size of the vitesse bicycles tyre in the ebay photo of the URL that you have given) Note you will get a much better deal from www.cycleplus.co.uk who sell this tyre for £5 cheaper at £21.99 or £40 for 2 tyres. If you want a tougher but slightly heavier tyre for commuting, I would reccomend the Schwalbe Marathon. I have these and havent had a puncture in 2 years and 4000 miles. You can buy this tyre at cycle plus for £14.99each as its their most popular tyre with cycle tourists for a hardwearing puncture-proof tyre. The continental gatorskin is a hardwearing reasonably punctureproof lightweight tyre but is more expensive to produce as its made in Germany, as are the Schwalbe tyres.

I hope that this is helpfull,

best wishes for Christmas, John.lumley

I think, you should buy a three hundred CC racing bike so that you can enjoy your life very well. That bike will boost your personality and respect in front of others. Folks who visit bestdissertation.com will also think that you are a rich person if you ride on such bike.
