Conti Top Touring - folding?
Do Conti Top Tourers have a folding bead? I haven't found any locally yet, and the Conti website is no help...
Thanks!

Unless they came out with a new one they are not folding. If you want a emergency spare tire while touring then you may want to look at Rivendell they have a tire called the "Ruffy Tuffy" that folds and is a 700x28 tire. Not sure it there are any larger sizes that fold. But if your rear tire got wasted on a tour you would be better moving the Top Tourer in the front to the rear and placing the Ruffy Tuffy on the front-assuming you went this route of course.

I don't know why you would say the web site is no help as it shoes both the
700x28 and 700x37 made in a foldable version. I have a set of 28s that I think I bought online
