cheap 26" Tyres at banana industries

[benjabbi]

I couldn't resist either, came today. Seem to be nice tyres, iconic tread pattern, cheap, super quick delivery, what's not to like?

Check out the green booze lights they’re mega cool all going to Paris and Copenhagen ! Bit of a coloured street tyre thing going on right now with the urban city builds .
We cleared them from the factory a couple years ago had about a thousand in green, brown, grey - must admit was quite worrying when all those arrived .

I ordered some of the folding Z Max in 26" and was really impressed with them and quick delivery. They do come up narrow (more like a 1.9) but bang on 500g which is pretty light... So I ordered another pair... and some 26"Peyotes... and some CX tyres... and some handlebars... I was going to get some road tyres too but they have jumped up £7 each overnight which is a shame!

I'm keeping one eye on the frames and hoping for an inbred type of machine in steel but 27.5 or 29.

Yer I know, no chance, but one can dream (and plot to make their own, mwah ha ha ha)

That’s a good idea . Quite fancy 26 myself .

I had an alfine pompetamine as a commuter, absolute beast, almost zero maintenance and so comfortable.

It survived a couple of car accidents and did thousands of miles round london.

I miss it

@Daveloughran

If your going down the nitto route any chance of some B802 / B802 coming into the uk?

Also how about something to compete with blb hitchhiker but with decent clearances and a low standover for offroad / roughstuff?

You might be getting a lot of ideas thrown at you.....very few with any financial legs!

Ill have a look at the hitchhiker thing .
