Brand new schwalbe rocket ron evo tyres £14.99 each

[cannondale king]

fitted mine today and took some pics they tubless up really easy without any leaking


and to carge at the price of £14.99 instead of £49.99 are you really worried mine came in 20 grames each over claimed weight but 20 grames out per tyre is bugger all and as these are the new schwalbe evo's they are gonna be slightly heavier as they are tubless ready as standard now

Evening CK,
Mine came in about 550g - which isn't 20g off the 445g claimed - which is why I was peeved.
May I ask what yours actually weighed?
Thanks

mine weighed in at 473 grams and 488 grams i think it must be luck of the draw what the tyres from on one weight as some people got light ones and some got heavy ones :shock: :?

if your not happy on one should give you a refund not laugh at you ask for a re-fund

I think the tyres are OEM for Cube which explains the weight difference. Sometimes OEM stuff is not the same quality as genuine aftermarket.

PlanetX/On One have probably cut and pasted from the Schwalbe aftermarket blurb. I've actually noticed that they have cut and pasted from a rival online store before :roll: naming the online store in the process.

I'll weigh mine tomorrow :?

 

[Carge]

Yeah - but what about the tyres

My rocket ron is black with a silver stripe. Not really bothered about weight as it's on the rear of my Orange 5, so not really an issue.
Main concern was that they sent me a Smart Sam originally.Can't believe anyone would choose to use one o those - felt like hard plastic!
Give them their due though - told them of the issue,sent the tyre back Wednesday, they apologised for the mistake and the correct replacement arrived today (Friday). They also refunded the return postage costs without question.
That's top service in my book, and I'll definitely use them again.

just looked on the schwalbe website.
the only rocket ron tyres that weigh 445g are for 24" wheels.

i guess they have picked up the wrong weight.
