Well, as I type, Silver appears to be actually succeeding at getting her new Continental tires on her wheels after a month of trying
BUT, I'm listening to my new favorite singer! I heard her on vh1 last weekend, bought the CD tonight...and I have new Mercedes Music to replace Leonard Skynard and The Grateful Dead.
She gives a new spelling to R-E-S-P-E-C-T , stand aside Aretha!
It is REgina SPEKTor
Here she is on youtube:

Anyone else a fan of Regina Spektor?

Congratulation. You've defeated the continental monster
I've been away from the bike for several years and gotten sort of back in last year. Few things I forgot. One was the near impossible continental tires. I destroyed several of my milk bar tire irons on continental.
I ordered a set of tires for my new set of wheels on e-bay. Remembering your difficulty, I stayed away from continental and went with Michellen pro 2 tires.
so thank you silver for saving me the grief

Uh-oh. I just bought a pair of Continentals for my BF from a member here. Maybe they'll get stuck on a gravel road in NM and I won't have to hear my BF cursing as he tried to use them.
On the other subject, I LOVE Regina Spektor. She's used quite frequently in the score for Grey's Anatomy. She's great!For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.

ehhh they aren't so bad once you get them on the first time and put some miles on them.
And I think I have the worlds weakest fingers. But I roll GP 4000's and wouldn't trade them for the world.
The main reason is the few times I NEED to change a flat. I think twice now in 2.5 years. Not a bad track record! And that includes training and racing in 2 ironman AZ's.... So LOTS o miles!
But yeah, that first go round is a BUGGER!

Darling...this wasn't really a Continental Tires thread!
I simply used it to get a facade of legitimacy to a sharing my new favorite artist's name
Geez...FOR THE RECORD...on Saturday, Silver informed me that I was to leave the room if I was going to listen to Regina
Hmmm...I waited a respectable 12 hours! I get no RESPEKT!

Mr. I really like her music, but the same songs over and over for 18 hours straight! I need some hard, classic rock mixed in, please!
