This is my third set of these tires. They wear very well, do not flat easily, and look great. I will continue to use them on my bike that does not have tubeless tires.
Love these tires! They corner well, roll smooth and I get less puncture. When not on sale, I think they're kind of pricey. But when they are on sale, I always get a pair.
These tires are great that i saw it on sale and need it to buy another pair. I love the built and smooth ride
Another great purchase from Western! A great shop!
Great performance and minimal flats
last long and fewer flats
One of the best tires I've ridden.
Great tires, though I did get a flat
Tires feel great but definitely fit truer to size than 4000's. The 700x23's measure 24mm on my HED Belgiums vs. 25mm for the 23mm 4000's. I couldn't clear 25mm 4000s on my frame, will probably give the 25mms 5000s a go next time around.
Fast rolling resistance tire, Puncture protection is excellent
Seems like a must for racing, looks great, costs too much but that's nothing new for bike equipment. Can't say anything about long term durability though because I've only put in a few hundred kms on them so far.
1500 miles plus this 5 month winter south Tx.. compared the wear indicators to the new one waiting to be mounted on the front vs.... one can not see any difference in their depth. I do not run sealant.. just enough to
get a decent sidewall seal and then carry plugs and seal if needed. Noted many cuts.. no leaks. 28mm.
Pro One on the front is holding up well 25mm.. yet on the front. I'm 195 lbs.. fitness rider. Like the P Ones.. just the 5000 is superior in all respects. IMO experimenting w roll out testing in various tires.. I'd vote for 28's over 25's for rolling resistance. Especially if your wheelset is light wt.
I put these new 5000s on my bike. I liked the claim of increased protection from flats. 3 miles into ride 2 and I had a flat. So much for that claim from Continental.
This tire grips nicely in corners and rolls smoothly. It seems as durable if not more so than its GP 4000 predecessor. I've put about 1K miles on these tires, riding generally bad roads with lots of urban debris and they're holding up well so far.
Easy to change and long lasting
Light and supple. Much better ride than gatorskin. Not as good as velo flex, but better tread wear. No flats so far after several hundred miles!
I have been using Continental tires for years! I have had no problems with any of the sets that I have purchased. I rode over 2000 miles last year. I have used these while living in Oregon and now Colorado. I now have my partner using Continental tires too and no complaints. Fingers Crossed no flats with this new set!
I switched to these after I gave up on tubeless. So far they're fast and durable with a much more supple feel than previous versions. Conti's are always a little on the stiffer side (IMHO) and harder to get on the rim than the average tire (always finish at the valve stem!).
Continental 5000 23mm tire. I ride 1000 miles plus a month in South West Florida very smooth roads and no hills. I weight 150 lbs. I have over 2000 miles on the tires now with no signs of wear on the front and very little on the rear tire. The tires roll with less resistance than the Continental 4000s. The ride and handling are about the same as the 4000s. I have the tires on Zipp 454nsw wheels and they are easy to mount. I have not had a flat yet. A very nice tire and plan to put the 5000 tire on my other bikes.
