They never wear out (unlike ones with lycra). I only bought as I lost my last pair"

"As expected from Park Tools, a strong/sturdy bit of kit.
I'm not sure what the wheel at the other end is meant to do though? Patterns on pastry."

A 10 speed chain that gives enhanced durability with their SP (Stretchproof) treatment. Also the chain is non-directional in design meaning it's independent of direction & allows maximum compatibility. Extra light (EL) also.
Overall rating
Super smooth chain.

"It's a chain and does the job well!
I wouldn't agree that the KMC fast link is any easier to undo than SRAM's though, they're all fiddly."

"I wanted something for an early season triathlon, so I could go into T2 and still feel my feet.
Due to the weather I'd previously been wearing waterproof overshoes for cycling.
I was doubtful this would do the job but very pleased to say I was wrong.
Feet were fine on a frosty morning.
They feel a bit strange and be careful on the sizing."

Continental Double Fighter II Mountain Bike Tyre
The new Double Fighter II is modeled on the successful concept of its predecessor. The centre, with its light tread rolls smoothly and quietly on tarmac. Off-road, the shoulder's heavy tread provides the necessary grip.

"Wanted some semi slicks for commuting. These were the best vlaue and from a well known name. Easy to fit, very fast on the tarmac and very quiet. I couldnt believe the difference between these and the knobblies. Also seem OK on trails, canal paths and river banks.
No complaints and do a great job."

What would be a suitable inner tube?
I'm new to mountain biking and have had these tyres recommended to me as a good road tyre which will also suit some light off roading.
Could anyone recommend a suitable inner tube for this tyre or does it not matter that much?
Cheers!

I changed to these from my knobblies and left the original inner tubes in. No problems. Dont see any point in spending any more money.

Tyre Direction
I have just recieved a pair of Continental Double Fighter tyres and I am really pleased with them!
Just one thing when fitting the tyres I presume the front tyre has the front directional arrow facing to the front of the bike!
With the rear does the front arrow face the front or the rear arrow face the front??

I just got some of these tyres and looking at the tread I cant see as it will make any difference.
I assumed the arrow was for the direction of travel.
