Pains me to ask this cos I'm about to break my own "never spend more than £25 on a tyre rule" (but then Rubber Queens really are that good as I've found out), but Where's cheapest for Conti Rubber Queens? 2.2" UST Black Chilli variant preferably, though could be swayed for non UST if they seal OK on Stans rims. Must be Black Chilli though.

Life-cycles will probably be cheapest, just get normal black chilli as will seal fine on rims, mine do and save loads of weight.

I have a 2.4 UST black chilli that you could have for 20 + postage. It had one tiny tear to sidewall that was patched without subsequent problems. Loads of wear left, just too big for me.

I have a 2.2 and a 2.4 black chilli rubber queen (non ust), £40 posted for them both if you want them, plenty of tread left, didn't have them on that long due to clearance issues.
Email in profile if interested,
Cheers,

My non UST ones sealed easily on my 355 rims.

Cheers guys, not interested in a 2.4" though I'm afraid, already got one of them, it won't fit on anything I own currently except the rigid fork I've got I might stick on my Hardtail in the depths of winter.

Just one 2.2" needed... So who'll sell me one?

I went for the x king protection over the rubber queens. They went up alright on the stans rims but that take an age to stop the sidewalss leaking. They have a ton of tiny little pin holes in. But they are brillaint and the black chilli compound is unreal even in sticky mud they dont clog and have tons of grip.

I will be sticking to continental black chilli from now on 🙂
