Continental Tire... Smoothing out the Bumps

Finally, I got in a lengthy sit on the trainer and did some time. It was very interesting this time around using the Continental Hometrainer tire. I started out with the annoying clicking as I revved up the cadence. It remained clicking, but around minute 5 is began to fade and eventually disappeared. Soon the whole experience was a quiet silence with the only noise being the movement of the drivetrain.

Upon completion, I checked the tire. Except for a 2mm wide area on the ridge of the tire, everything was still clean. And even though there was a wear mark on the center ridge, much of the flash from the molding process was still present. Seems like a very durable tire and very well thought out by Continental.
