FS: Conti Grand Prix 4000s II 25mm

Paulyh

I have a pair of Continental Grand Prix 4000s II 25mm for sale.
I bought these last week and did 25km on them, so virtually brand new.

Reason for sale is, I picked up a new set of wheels over the weekend and the rear tyre is just touching the frame with them they were fine on my previous wheels (although with about 1.5mm of clearance).

Great tyres, roll really well and very comfortable.
Bought on Chain reaction at 77euros for the pair, so will let them go at 65 for the pair.

I probably won't get the time to get to post office during the day so collection only or I can meet, I'm north Dublin based.

What was the frame you bought that wouldn't take 25s. That's very limiting

I had the frame already, a Basso Astra 2011 model.
It was the wheels I changed, I was using Giant P-SL1 wheels and with the 25mm tyres there was about 1.5mm clearance to the seat stay (at top of tyre), they were very tight but just enough clearance to work.
I then changed wheels to ksyrium SL's and the top of the tyre was just touching the frame.
It was my first time trying out 25mm tyres and I was impressed, they were comfortable and seemed to roll and climb brilliantly. So I'm a bit disappointed to back to 23mm's.
But at least I'm thinking about a new frame/bike now
