To celebrate the 2021 Tour de France, Continental has today announced the return of the cream sidewall Continental Grand Prix 5000 road tyre, which joins the transparent sidewall and traditional black tyres to form the new colours range.

Initially available as a Special Edition for the Tour de France 2020, Continental have responded to ongoing customer demand for the distinctive cream wall colourway by making it a permanent feature in the expanding Grand Prix 5000 lineup.

With the battle for the famous yellow, green, white, and polka dot jerseys well underway, Continental will celebrate and reflect on the iconic styling and history of Le Tour’s famous colour range with its own expanded colour offering.

The new range is designed to offer more aesthetic choice for road riders and racers wanting to use the industry benchmark for all round performance, the Grand Prix 5000 road tyre.

The full range of colours all benefit from the same best-in-field features as the core Grand Prix 5000 tyre model:

  • Active Comfort Technology designed to reduce vibration and for the smoothest possible ride
  • Vectran Breaker for high-class puncture protection
  • LazerGrip for outstanding cornering
  • Continental’s unique Black Chili compound for the best possible balance between grip, mileage and low rolling resistance.

Dr. Pad Seat Pad Replacement – Review

Seat pad replacement. It seems it's a fairly common requirement amongst people who ride a lot or race; changing the worn or uncomfortable seat pad (or "chamois", if you or your clothing are of a certain age) in your shorts and so extend the life of the garment whilst increasing the comfort factor, and there are a number of options available to you to achieve this - but fewer than you would imagine in this consumerist, throwaway culture. We're happy to report that we've found a company who are able to replace your seat pads for a minimal cost and who have an extensive range of quality pads available (at the time of writing there are 26 different styles available!) to suit pretty much every requirement and body type; Dr. Pad.

Murray Hall – the Aussie British Madison Champion

Back in 1972 when Edinburgh's Meadowbank Velodrome was still a thing of beauty and not kindling-in-waiting, the British Madison Championships were held there. The men who won that day were the young Australian rider, Murray Hall – then riding for Croydon Premier - and his compatriot, Tom Moloney. We caught up with Murray recently during our researches about the Six Day races of old - he has a good tale to tell.
