Onza Porcupine

[7Speed]

I remember biketech bottom of Park st, Bristol (rip) selling black folding porcs for £5 each.


I was astonished at how little grip they offered on almost surface.
I took them off pronto and sold them on.
We know now a crisp, sharp, straight edge gives grip.
Not a smooth round dimple

Light, good looking, a lovely sound on tarmac and a pretty print on the ground, but otherwise useless. No wonder they got sold off for a fiver - but they would've made a sound investment because at current prices they have outperformed the housing market.

Although you can't live in a boxed onza, unless you're a spider or a ladybird.

I think they worked reasonably well in the dry being developed for the dry and dusty west coast trails - but then so does nearly every tyre. Five pounds though…

Wasn’t there a thread discussing a group that was going to reproduce some of the classic 26” tyres?

I’m going to list another, much nicer pair next week. Need to catch up on shipping the first batch of tires.

please can you add the option for shipping to the UK.
