Hello guys
At the end of March I'm doing a bit of touring going from Sheffield in South Yorkshire to Sheffield in Penzance, Cornwall in aid of Amnesty International.
So, I'm after some tyres that can aid me on my way! I've found some Continental Travel Contact tyres which have a lovely slick middle and nobbly edge - they seem perfect.
But there's three different types of this one tyre... I'm hoping you can clarify what the difference between them all are:
Reflex
Wire bead
Folding bead
I'd appreciate it greatly if someone could clear up what those mean so I can make a better decision on which type to buy!
Cheers guys
Ross
