Cant see the link, but innertubes from tesco's are about £2 or less and are fairly decent.

They look like Tioga Factory DH tyres. They were concidered very good in the late 90's but technology has moved on somewhat since then and these haven't.

I suppose they're OK for £20 but I wouldn't want to be riding downhill with them.

I'd rather get better quality second hand tyres. Max psi 40 sounds sketchy to me. I know you don't need that much in them on the trail but the max should be closer to 60.

Tyres make a big difference, it's a corner I'll trim by not buying new but wouldn't cut with a no-name tyre.

Come to think of it, I've got some Specialized Enduro tyres (new to me, vgc) you can have for £20 posted. I've washed them since the pic, but look [url= http://s627.photobucket.com/albums/tt360/HermanShake/Specialized%20Enduro%20Tyres/ ]here.[/url]

2.3 (same size) dual compound; 50a/60a, one is 120 tpi and the other 60tpi. These were ace on my Specialized P2. Surplus to requirements (I have 3 other tyres on rotation).

I've put up a new pic of one of the tyres now clean. Taken just now.

By the way, they are folding, aramid bead tyres which you can tell by the way I'm holding it in the pic.
