   Still made in Germany, not outsourced to some huge mega-factory in Thailand or elsewhere with little oversight. I often take these tires down to the point that the cords are showing through the tread, and when I do flat one (rarely) they are the easiest tubular to open up, patch, and stitch back up. The tread is great in all conditions, and the cornering profile is consistent and gives the confidence only a tubular can give. The only drawback is that the casing is a bit stiff, which gives good durability, but also gives a slightly more harsh ride than tires like the Competition and GP4000 Tubular. If I was rich I’d ride the Comps or GP4000s all the time, but I’m not so I chose the Sprinter as by far the best tire anywhere near its price point.

   I used to ride on tubulars (or sew-ups as we called them back in the 70’s). I never had many flat tires. When the 700c clincher became available, I traded my tubular rims to a racer in exchange for some clincher wheels. It seemed only logical to have a high pressure tire, yet with the ease of repair of a clincher. A year ago, I started restoring a Mazarati bicycle with tubulars. I planned to change out the wheels for clinchers, as well. But, then decided to leave it original. But, I was going to have to get some new tires. I read reviews and decided to go with the Continental Sprinter Tubulars. On a warm winter day, I finally took the newly restored bike for its shakedown ride. I made it about 1.5 miles before my first flat. Are you kidding me? It was a stone fragment stuck in the back tire. Stones are ubiquitous. That’s a problem. Fortunately, I was able to use “Slime” and save the tire without un-stitching the tire and patching the tube.The tires was very fast at 140psi. (Max pressure 175, which sounds crazy). I will probably lower pressures in the future to 100-110psi, and perhaps that will solve the “flat” problem. I think the rubber is probably just too soft. If it was a bit more puncture resistant, I would love the tire.

   I think these are good…. but sometimes they have a bit of a hop in them. I think this is (at least in my case) the base tape kind of overlaps it self and creates a little hop in the wheel that you can really feel at speed if you have them pumped up. They’re good tho, fast and grippy.My experience so far, I’ve spent two seasons riding on these now. My front tyre has two full seasons of racing on it (for me thats about 1800-2000 miles) and has had no flats and it looks good to use for a third season. My rear tire got a flat last year, and it was just bad luck the tyre is durable and it was just something small that I must have run over that caused a very slow leak. This year my rear tyre was all good but unfortunately it was destroyed in a crash that also destroyed my rear wheel. I had been running 22c tyres but I just ordered two new tyres that are 25c, im hoping these will be a little more comfortable to race on and I’m told that with the 404 fire crest rims they’ll actually be more aero. We’ll have to see about this.I would say from experience that the Vittoria Evo Corsa tyres are a wee bit faster than these, but definitely not as durable and at about 2.5 times the price I just cant justify getting those tyres over these. Im just a CAT 3 crit racer who sometimes does well in road races… so these aren’t going to be the difference maker for me. But if you’re a CAT 1 who is on the cusp of taking the points lead in your States B.A.R. series or something then maybe the Vittoria’s would be a worthwhile investment. But for most racers I think these tyres at this price are a mega bargain which is why I just ordered two more of them.Hope this helps!

   I love Continental. If I was 18 years old (late bloomer *cough-cough*) I would of Loved instead of been Crazy about. LolSadly a junk science sports write tried, and failed, to prove wider low pressure tyres = less resistance. It was junk but it stuck. I’m SO still glad I can find skinny tubulars for high pressure

   So far no complaints. After about 3 rides I thought it have been slightly harsher of a ride than my previous set, however it appears they needed to be worn in a little.

   I used these on my new lightweight bike build. I’ve never had experience with tubular tires before, but these are the best tires I’ve ever ridden so far. They are insanely grippy and confidence-inspiring, despite being only 22mm in width. And I haven’t noticed any substantial decrease in comfort compared to a clincher setup, although I use a carbon handlebar, which probably dampens a fair amount of vibration. Installation was also a breeze (I used tape instead of glue). Can’t comment on durability yet since I’ve only done about 150 miles on them so far, but I can already say that they are worth the money.
