Moving on the last 26’er in the family fleet soon and have a bundle of new to nearly new tyres hanging up in garage. Heavy and costly things to post if selling, so probably hardly worth it. Was wondering about local charity type routes? Will be of good use to some folks, just not me and mine anymore...

Any ideas ?

Put up a stealth ad using a comedy unit typo? 😉

26'? Blimey Charlie!

Hah 😀

Nope, not a Stealth ad at all. I’m not going to sell a tyre for £15 and then spend a fiver to post it. Better ways of getting them used.

I’m in Glasgow. I had a google and wondered about GlasgowBikeStation, who seem to do a lot of recycling and charity builds

Matt - I coach with Glasgow Riderz and have already asked a few if they want them..

Tweeddale Youth Action charity have a wee workshop in Innerleithen. They upcycle, teach young ones some spannering and such like - pretty sure they'd be interested.

Although if you happen to have any Schwalbe Tabletops (or similar), I'd be interested 😉

Dmck, thanks, may try that if I don’t find anything more local. No Tabletops or similar I’m afraid 😀
