As above. I understood it was originally due out last year but never appeared, the website says Spring 2013 but wondered if there was anyone in the know who could update.

I'll be running them on Flow rims without rim strips and not convinced a non UST would hold well and whether the sidewalls would be as tough but if others have good experience of the black chilli folding version I'd be interested to hear.

I was after some UST barons at the start of the winter,when i contacted Conti UK i was told they wouldnt be here until spring.

Like you i wasnt sure about running the normal black chili ones tubless but they went up first time and have held air just as well as the ust rubber queens.They are mounted on flows,only thing i have done different to the ust rubber queens was to wipe the insides with IPA

Dunno about the availability of the UST version, but I've been using the regular BC version for a couple of years. Very good, very tough sidewalls, one of the best front tyres for mixed conditions IMHO.
