Grand Prix 3000
 
Continental Grand Prix 3000:
  • Continental's innovative Silica rubber compound helps make the Grand Prix 3000 their lightest, fastest and strongest road clincher designed for racing and general riding. Provides 30% better dry weather traction and 15% lower rolling resistance than Continental's standard Grand Prix foldable clincher tire. The Grand Prix 3000 utilizes a five-ply polyamide (Nylon) casing woven of super-fine threads that reduce weight while providing a supple and fast ride. A thick and tough, natural rubber sidewall coating, protects against scuffs and cuts. The Grand Prix 3000 uses a KevlarŪ bead and is made for 700C road wheels.

  • The five ply Nylon casing has 86 threads per inch for each layer. The total for all five layers is 430 threads per inch.
  • For fastest times, longer life and fewer punctures you may mix tire widths. Many riders use a narrow front tire and the next wider size for a rear tire. We do not suggest mixing tread patterns.
  • We suggest using Le Tour Fast Talc when installing tires and tubes. Click on the underlined text to visit our Tire Care page to see a complete selection of Tire Care products.
  • Need tubes? Click on the underlined text to visit our Tubes page to see a complete selection of clincher tubes.
  • This tire is foldable. It uses stranded KevlarŪ, instead of steel wire beads, to hold the tire to your rim. Kevlar beads weigh less than steel and are stronger.
  • Made in Germany by Continental.
  • Warranty service and help with technical questions is available from Continental USA in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma USA. Call Continental USA at (405) 239-6141, email them at Info@BikeMine.com or visit Continental Germany at Conti-BicycleTires.com by clicking on the underlined text .

Branford Bike Online Catalog - Archival Edition
brought to you by the former owner of Branford Bike, Tim Brockett via his personal web site, TimsLife.Com
This is an archival edition of the Branford Bike web site from February 2006. Complete with product photos, prices, how to articles and technical specifications it is a treasure trove of accurate, detailed and historical information.

In July of 2006 Branford Bike was incinerated by a huge forest fire. No one was hurt but the inventory and buildings were completely destroyed. I witnessed the fire and stayed until the trees were burning in my driveway. At that point I hiked from Branford Bike, through the smoke and embers, down the mountain to my Jeep 3 miles away. I took photos and wrote about the harrowing experience so everyone could see what I saw. My insurance was generous and I later rebuilt my home and started another business selling books. Read the story here.

Branford Bike was a huge part of my life for over 30 years; June 1976 to July 2006. I enjoyed those years tremendously and Branford Bike was often a labor of love. I hope you enjoy browsing through the archival catalog. If your visit brings back pleasant memories please share them with me via e-mail at timbrockett@gmail.com .

If you find any printed Branford Bike catalogs, advertisments or flyers please scan them as a PDF and email. Or you may mail them via US Post to Tim Brockett, PO Box 1711, Emigrant, MT 59027. Eventually I will post them in a Memorabilia catalog section.

Many Thanks and Best Wishes,
Tim Brockett
