Fitting BRAND NEW Continental GP5000 S TR Tubeless Tyres

[@davidarthur]

What do you think of Continental's new tyres? Also, since making this quick video I've had another go at inflating with a regular track pump and had more success than in the original video kzbin.info/www/bejne/hn24nYujmZqpgKM

[@fishinthet123mark3]

I love the new tubeless GP5000 tyres but.......fitted to my Wheel Tech carbon rims was an absolute nightmare of sore hands and eventually tyre levers. Tight, tight, tight! The good thing was they inflated first go with a track pump. Such a comfortable tyre in 28.

[@robthompson6674]

If it's half that easy to mount these new Conti's on my ENVE 5.6's I'll be over the moon. I broke multiple levers trying to mount the existing 5000TL's (which I literally had to cut off to remove, they were so tight).

[@detmer87]

Please test the sidewall protection. That was a huge problem with the old tyre.

[@raimo8882]

I think half of the problem are the 303S wheels which in my case have been the worst wheels to mount a tubeless tire. Other wheels I have are DT Swiss and almost any road tubeless tire can be mounted with regular track pump.

[@riyadmobeen]

@@raimo8882 I had issues mounting Schwalbe Pro Ones (I had to use a high pressure tank to get them to inflate) on the 303S and they still didn't "pop"

[@paulsheldon9510]

Very helpful thank you David. Just swapped out the 25mm tubeless tyres on my wife’s new Langma and fitted the 32mm GP5000 STR and perhaps one of the easiest tyres I’ve ever fitted, no effort required at all on the Giant carbon rims and to my amazement they both pumped up and popped out with my normal track pump! I did pinch and pull the tyre all the way around to make sure the bead was sitting correctly before pumping. Total time of 55 mins for removing and installing the two! After watching several videos I thought I’d struggle and I can’t believe how easy it was! Thank you.

[@nemeanf27]

never had a problem inflating tubeless with a standard track pump. The problematic area is where the tubeless valve sits in the centre well blocking part of the tyre bead from going into the centre. What I do to prevent air leaking out whilst inflating is just squeeze the tyre bead around the tubeless valve and press down a bit on the tyre with one hand to maintain an airtight chamber whilst pumping with the other hand and it will inflate. Once the bead moves into place then pump with both hands. Works everytime for me with no need for manic, fast or vigerous pumping either.

[@jeffreywong7694]

I need a video of this as a tutorial!

[@erkind9687]

I was able to do this with the older gp5000s tubeless but not this new model.

[@mattiasb87]

Dear Conti: just take my money already! I loved the old GP 5000 on my first entry-level alu Canyon bike. Looking forward to fitting these on my Zipp 303S and cruising around Lake Geneva on them. As the Swiss roads are generally extremely smooth, I expect them to be FAST!

[@sarah-janelowrie2571]

Removing the valve core from my wheels enables me to inflate tubeless tyres with a standard floor pump. Perhaps a tip to share with those without a Lezyne air tank/air compressor. Thanks for the vid.

[@mctaggm]

I've really liked the GP5k in TL, and if they're easier to fit (which IMO fitting was one of the biggest drawbacks of the old GP5k) and are even more puncture resistant, then they're a year round winner! Nice to know they were used in PR as well; as this year would have been brutal on tyres... Great announcement 😀

[@pangponndd]

Thank you David, looking forward for your comments on it. Might give it a try after my Pirelli worn out in the near future.

[@tonyg3091]

Awww man, I am SOOOOO buying these as soon as they hit the shelves. The ones with transparent sidewall. Been on GP 5000 TL last two seasons and never a single problem. Ever.

[@jamiemcdonald4880]

Just bought these tires. Putting on some Reynolds AR 41x db wheels. 21mm internal rim width. My current Pirellei Pzero Race TLR 28mm were a breeze to install just the same. Thanks for the video. Hoping for the same results with the new Continentals in a 30mm size. I''ve heard a lot about how hard the tires can be to install, but my gut tells me that the previous versions legacy is just continuing on. With most manufacturers getting onboard with the new ETRTO I think there is now a standard that wheel and tire manufacturers have to aim for, which is good for everyone.

[@davidarthur]

These new GP5000 tyres are MUCH easier to install as they comply with the latest ETRTO standards which the previous ones didn't so installation is a breeze

[@namaroli]

That demo was very helpful - I'm skeptical of tubeless but watching you seat the tire with a canister pump gives me hope!

[@davidarthur]

Glad it was helpful to you 👍

[@NathanBradley-w1z]

Seated a set earlier tonight on a set of DT Swiss r500 rims. Didn't have any issues. Pretty easy to get on with levers (save your hands and pry on bit by bit). Should seat with a track pump. Mine did and every tubeless set up ive had over the past 5 years has. Conti, Vittoria, Maxxis, all relatively easy to get on. Lovely ride quality.

[@NathanBradley-w1z]

Ive always used a Joe Blow track pump, Joe's rim tape, Rocket or DT valves, Joes sealant. Never had an issue on DT Swiss r500, E1800 and Mavic Open Pro rims. Pretty simple for me and never needed to waste my money on a compressor.

[@NathanBradley-w1z]

If you are struggling that much, save your money on an inflator and put it to a compressor, where you can use it for multiple house hold tasks.

[@Thetoad738]

I've been riding Contis since 1987. I do have Vitorria gum walls for my 1980s vintage, but for serious riding, I feel most confident with Conti tires.

[@bobbymcflare57]

With a track pump it helps to lift one side onto the bead half way and turning it around and doing the other half to get a seal

[@justinian963]

I thought this video was fake by how easy you got the 2nd bead on, but tried putting it on the way you did and it was as easy as you showed it to be. Thanks for the vid!

[@robinbradbury2653]

I tried to fit the old ones and to say it was one of the most frustrating experiences you can have is an understatement. I had to resort to taking it to the local bike shop who had a equally frustrating time but got them on. I always take a tuibe out with me just in case but doubt if I would be able to get them back on in the event of a puncture. It seemed easy with the new ones. A big step forward by the looks of things

[@mrrodriguezHLP]

Second set of hands was the only way I got mine on. Skinned my knuckled in the process. My greatest anxiety after that was: how am I going to get a tube in them on the roadside if pumping air and hoping the liquid seals the puncture isn't enough?

[@erkind9687]

If you let the tire sit in the sun it makes it easier to put on

[@brankododig1585]

Using GP5000 TL in 25mm right now and very happy with them, so I trust Continental's new tubeless tires will also be top notch.

[@MrJwmurph]

Hi David, thank you for this. I've had a mixed experience with the GP5000TL for the last two years, no roadside road repairs needed but they're a nightmare on 3 sets of rims that I have, this frustration around fitting and removal has me running clinchers on my summer bike but I persevere with tubeless on the winter one for puncture protection. The GP5000TL lose about 10psi over a week so I check pressures before each ride. Can you report back on their pressure retention over the few weeks?

[@davidarthur]

Thanks and will update on pressure retention and over aspects. I wasn't that impressed with the older tyres and leaned more towards the latest Pirelli, Goodyear, Michelin tyres precisely because they were so much easier to fit and look after

[@TheOkinawaBoy]

@@davidarthur Which one do you recommend to begin with?

[@85mackey1]

@@TheOkinawaBoy Goodyears have been the easiest to mount and inflate out of every tubeless tire that I’ve tried. They’re not the fastest or toughest but if you’re looking for easiest to setup, Goodyear is the way to go.

Great first look. I have similar issues as some have posted already here. A pain to install the 5000TL on my Scope R5D and I have to add a bit of air every two days, i.e. before each ride. Looking forward to your review after one week. Thanks.

[@alexshobbies2187]

Super impressed with how easy those went on! I'm on my second set of gp5ktl and went to the shop the second time they were such a pain. I purchased Schwalbe Pro Ones as my next set but this video makes me want to stick with the Conti!

[@davependragon1]

I was able to seat mine with a Topeak Mini pump on a hooked carbon fibre rim. I don't know if it is my weight, as I am a gravitationally challenged individual, but the rear tyre suffers, almost, daily punctures and I am constantly reinflating it and my seat stay is covered in sealant. No issues at all with the front though.

[@supermitendo9654]

That ease of installation alone is worth the upgrade. The only reason I don’t already use GP5000

[@dh7314]

I'm really torn on this, I very recently moved to latex tubes on GP5000 clinchers and they're superb but part of me still wants to try tubeless.

Will these work with mavic cosmic UST? Easier to fit than the older versions?

[@originalkontrol]

The biggest battle in my head when choosing my new wheelset was if I get the 303S, I will have to give up my Contis... I did it anyway because after seeing how many wheel manufacturere were looking into hookless wheels, it would only be a matter of time before Conti came round. And I got to try a couple of different brands in the meantime. Can't wait to get the new Contis on my 303S wheels!

[@simon84uk]

Great video, looking forward to these being available soon, about due to change my current GP5000TL so good timing. My only point would be I suspect you would have had a better chance of seating with the valve core out on the normal track pump though (has to come out anyway for sealant...), which allows the air in faster. I've only once in 5 years of using tubeless for MTB and road had to revert to my compressor.

[@loeurnchim213]

Yaasss super Nice ❤

[@user-lg2jm9zg6l]

Thanks David! A question: did the beads stay locked in place when you delated to put in the sealant? I also have a set of 303S and one of my favorite tires, the Schwalbe Pro One Evo Addix, will come unseated when deflated, which is a bummer.

[@riyadmobeen]

I have the same issue. I could not get them inflated on my Zipp 303s and they never "popped". When deflated they popped into the wheel well. Had to use a high pressure tank to get them inflated and then seated. What was your strategy?

[@JustOneRedSoloCup]

@@riyadmobeen I feel your pain. I had the identical issue with the same set of Schwalbe Pro One Evo Addix (700x28). I have to use an AirShot cannister at its maximum 160 psi pressure to get the Schwalbe beads to seat (presta valve core removed), and after the beads were seated, I left the cannister attached and did not release the connection until after the tire sat around for at _least_ 15 minutes. Then I'd slowly release the remaining air pressure via the tank cannister relief valve and the beads would remain seated. It sounds ridiculous, but it's been the most consistent method for keeping the tires from deflating. Also, half the time, I had sealant in the tire prior to inflating to seat the beads, and zero sealant added the other times. Either way, the 15 minute wait under pressure seemed to have the most success. Good luck!

[@user-lg2jm9zg6l]

@@riyadmobeen I never had that issue - they would seat pretty easily, with the witness line visible all the way around, but they would unseat once the pressure got down to 5-10psi, which made checking/adding sealant (through the valve stem) a pain in the butt. Eventually, I got some MilKit valves so that I could keep ~20 psi in the tires, keeping them seated, while doing sealant maintenance, but those valves weren't completely trouble-free, either (more prone to gumming up, etc).

[@atassisamer]

So I am debating between the clinchers and S TR. which one provides better puncture resistance? At the the sidewall and tread

They're about the same but tubeless with sealant is going to give you extra protection versus an inner tube

This tire takes away the biggest drawbacks of the old 5000 TL: the huge weight and the high rolling resistance compared to latex inner tubes. I’ll give tubeless another try I guess. But I’ll carry two spare tubes with me just to be on the safe side.

[@Jackster596]

You didn't make sure the brand logo was centered with the valve stem. 😳How dare you! I have been using the "old" 28mm version for about two years now on my 50mm deep, 27mm wide Yoeleo wheels without any major problems. I'll be riding the 30mm version on my newly ordered bike soon. Can't wait!

[@squiresuzuki]

You said the carcass of the tire feels thinner. Do you think the center of the tread (where it's actually contacting the road) is thinner? If they made it thinner (than the old one, which was 2.8mm), that wouldn't be a very good thing for longevity...

[@michaelgoodwin593]

Can’t say for sure if it was the tyres but it all happened after I moved from GP4000 2s which I never had issues with. I’ve never raced but always trained like I did so still like to have fast rolling tyres on my bike, hoping I can run these with the benefits and less of the issues I had with the previous model.

Are they actually good enough that riders aren’t carrying tubes anymore?

The tubeless thing keeps pulling at me, until I realise you still need to carry a spare inner tube as you would with clinchers. So I just run clinchers with quality Schwalbe butyl tubes, but I run 30ml of sealant inside them as well as insurance. This has saved me twice from having to stop and change a flat…

[@mathieuwaddell5440]

[@ramonsanabria1472]

Does that combination only work with disc ?

[@brianstein406]

Is there a danger in them being so easy to fit on hookless rims? I thought in an emergency the tighter fit would help prevent the tire rolling off. My Enve hookless rims with Pirelli tlr race tires are not that easy to fit but not too terrible that I am frustrated. On a separate note is the 73psi max pressure for both hooked and hookless? On a hooked rim I run 72 on the rear tire with 28mm 5000 tl and I am not all that heavy.

[@davidarthur]

73 psi is max for hookless, it's 93 psi for hooked - Even hooked rims have their limits but it's higher than hookless, but with wider tyres there's really no need to go that high. Provided rims and tyres are designed to the same standards there should be no concern on safety. The old idea of making a tyre tight on a rim was just a lazy workaround the lack of standards

Hi, I’ve slr1 on my 2021 giant tcr adv pro 1 rim. Can I use these new tyres or not? Bit confused from the info in the comments below re max tyre pressures. I’m 85kg and using stock 25mm gavia tyres at 75 psi f/r at the mo. Thanks in advance!

[@davidarthur]

Yes! They're both designed to the latest tubeless hookless standards so they should be just fine. Have you considered going to 28mm tyres? That would give you more comfort/traction and also reduce your max pressure worries

[@thorsballs5837]

@@davidarthur Hi David, thanks for the info, I’ll be moving up to 28mm with these tyres when I can find them in stock! Also, thanks for your recommendation of the tcr, love the bike, it’s just so good!

@@thorsballs5837 I'm in the same boat with a TCR PRO 1 Disc, looks like we need 28c to comply with max psi rule. Hopefully they don't look out of place on the narrow SLR1 42's

Great channel and content. About the conti, what is the measured width of the tyre?

[@trivas]

After a season of tubeless, getting punctured several times and calling my wife to pick me up I gave up. I’m going back to tubes at least I can pop a new tube CO2 and ready to go. Maybe I’ll try again down the road but not for me.

Hi! Are they safe to install on zipp 303s?

[@davidarthur]

Yes because they’re both designed to latest hookless standards

[@davidkay7201]

Keen to understand the difference between these and the old TL - did you try fitting the TL to the same wheels? Are these much easier?

[@amirulhidayatmd]

the old GP5000 TL is not hookless compatible..zipp 303s rim is hookless type..

[@davidarthur]

You can't fit the old tyres to a hookless rim (I know some tried it) but Continental specifically advised against it. I had tried the previous tyres on many rims and there were mostly always a pain to fit. So on first impressions these are much easier to fit

[@davidkay7201]

@@amirulhidayatmd aha - for David Arthur, please can you try and compare fitting both tyres to the same wheel. I like the GP5000 but given how hard they are to fit I'm about to swap to Goodyear.

[@davidarthur]

I'm not sure how useful that really is because these new tyres replace the old TL tyres, and we all know how difficult those were on hooked rims

Unfortunately leaking 5000S TR's here !! Installed 5000S TR's in 30c, put 50ml sealant, rotated it every hour for past 2 days every hour - it leaks all 60psi within an hour. Today added 40ml more and rotating it often - the tire leaks air like crazy through it's sidewalls rubber.....I am almost sure that it's faulty batch. Because as a bike mechanic I know that sealant always stops the leaks after day or two, but here it's a different case :/ I'll run tubes inside this tubeless arghhh, not many options left. ANYONE HAD SAME ISSUE?

Link to buy them?

[@davidarthur]

They're not currently available to buy right now as soon as they are I will add a link to the video

[@Andy_ATB]

Look nice; however, as a former regular user of Conti, they were always fast, but punctured regularly. I'm still not convinced, yet, even if they are tubeless. And I wish Conti would make a 'file tread type' road tyre.

[@kniveswood]

What are you using instead now?

gp 5000 vs corsa speed/control?
