Continental Competition Tubular Road Bicycle Tire with Black Chili (28x22, Tubular, Black)

Continental 0196138 Competition 28 x 22 Black Tubular Road Tire with Black Chili is the most reliable choice of all tires in the professional peloton and has proven itself time and time again on the world race circuit. Consistently bringing the top pros to the finish line first, the Competition is the true mark of Continental's racing heritage. Therefore it remains in our line year after year, but always refined. The Competition was one of our first tires with Black Chili compound and is now equipped with Vectran puncture protection. One layer of the cut resistant Vectran under the tread, instead of the two layers of nylon used before, reduces the weight of the new Competition and improves the rolling comfort and the rolling resistance. The Black Chili Compound is a rubber filler material that delivers 30 percent more adhesion to the road, 26 percent lower rolling resistance and five percent improved mileage for the tire. Specs: Weight - 260 grams; Recommended PSI - 110; Maximum PSI - 170; PU - 10.

The ordinary bicycle, or penny-farthing, was popular from the early 1870s to the late 1880s but was unstable and difficult to mount and dismount. The front wheels became increasingly large as makers realised that the larger the wheel, the further the cycle could travel with one rotation of the pedals. The lower and more stable safety bicycle of 1885 with two similarly sized wheels, which superseded the ordinary, was much the same in design as modern bicycles. This example of an ordinary made by W Willis of Eton in Buckinghamshire has a tubular frame with solid rubber tyres, and is complete with saddle and bell.

Probably a Ukai rim. I'm not sure if this is a label that has faded, or if part peeled off, or what. The two little bumps, I'm wondering if these were weights intended to balance the rim weight. Non-original Continental "Triathlon" sew-up tires.
