I have just received the 2 Continental 4000S tyres that I ordered from Merlin cycles. As an aside I must say I cannot fault the service, ordered 10:19 Friday delivered Saturday for £50, impressive!
However being an old duffer and not used to all this new fangled modern stuff rather alarmingly I find these to be foldable tyres.
The problem I am now facing is that my wheels were built by Mel Bentley some considerable time ago and use Mavic Open SUP CD rims. Reading the instructions I suspect these are not suitable for folding tyres?
I would be grateful if somebody could confirm if my fears are correct, and also what my options are with regards to Continental tyres.
Many thanks
