just that. after some 2 inch or more slicks for 26 er wheels. 20 euros a pop absolute max price.

any good deals around? something like Big Apples i guess, but not necessarily with puncture protect and added weight that brings.

Kojaks?

Look ace cos theyre actually slicks rather than siped for "looks". And bang on budget.

Edit: Out of stock, sorry, hadn't clicked on the "colour" option.   Does crc have any stock of anything at the moment. last 3 things I've googled and clicked through to crc have all been out of stock.  Is it being run down?

I quite like Fat Franks. Nice large volume.

yeh i reckon i want something with a bit of grip, just for rolling through bits of mud/grass etc.

since found a massive choice at bike24 well within budget so i think i'll get something there. maybe fat franks

I use Schwalbe Crazy Bobs to commute on my Camber. 2.5” wide BMX style so still cope with gentle off road in the dry.

Rose have Big Apples and similar for about 15 Euros at the moment, I think.

Not sure whether/how the current ones differ, but I bought a (folding) pair in 2005 and they were really light, as well as managing never to puncture until I eventually wore them right down.

If you live near Southampton to collect, I've got some old 26" tyres 1.9"-2.35" from the days of my Pylon8, loads of wear left...

Land Cruiser

Crazy Bobs

Super Moto

Big Apples?

Might be some others too, a turbo trainer tyre. £5 a pair, £5 for turbo tyre, £10 for the pair of Super Motos.

Schwalbe Big Apples. Or Schwalbe City Jet

Or some of the ones on eBay e.g.... Vandorm etc. Loads to choose from.
