Dearly Beloved,
We are gathered here today to put to rest my Continental Giro tire. This tire was an amazing friend and companion. In its 6 month life span, it traveled between 3 different bikes. A Specialized Langster, a Pake, and a Pinarello Pista. It has seen many of roads and tons of different surfaces. It has conquered the streets of Colorado Springs, CO, the dirt roads of Pagosa Springs, CO, the alley ways of Durango, CO and the back seat of my car.
The tire was no longer convex in its old age. It had a wide flat spot all the way around it but that didnt stop this little guy. It kept truggin along, eating up everything that was thrown at it, asphalt, dirt, rocks, nails, even grass...
This tire may not have been the nicest of tires nor the most expensive of tires but a workhorse it was. It remained straight and true till the end of its days. It developed a bubble in its side 2 days before its demise. That did not stop it though. It held strong till the very last minute.
I say good night Continental Giro Tubular tire in 22mm wide. You were a good friend and will be missed. R.I.P.
