Hi I decided to dump the continentals as they seemed to have no real grip and unless on tarmac were deathtraps! The schwalbes seemed to always get good write ups and although can be expensive they have proved their worth. I now have loads more confidence in cornering at speed and the whole feel is better! Buy from eBay for best prices
Original spec apart from exchanged continental speed king tyres as they weredeath traps! now running schwalbe Nobby Nics with slime tubes! Next upgrade easton cabon bars and seatpost when saved me pennies!!!

A fine choice of bike, what are the tyres like? I'm looking to put something similar on my Boardman.

Looks pretty good but the tyres are fussy and you just can't beat a good Fox shock and forks I'm afraid.
