Hi all,
A month ago I bought some Continental Ruban tyres for my FS EMTB, mainly for riding on trails in the summer. The idea was, no point wearing out my knobbly soft compound tyres when its dry. They are really good tyres and have a super low rolling resistance which suits me fine. However the tyre bead is super strong and a total nightmare to fit and remove. I had to buy a ratchet clamp to get the tyre off and had a serious battle to get the tyre back on my wheel.
