Got a mate who is doing a chopper course in Norway & will be swinging through Newport to visit his family in about 6 weeks. Will enquire if he has any mates over in Swansea who could do a packaging job.

How many tyres & what size are they ?

So if those tyres are the 'last 2 on the planet' what are you going to do when they wear out?

Not my Bike!!!!!. he will have to race with "road tread "instead . these tyres are light knobbly ones that are specific to Cyclespeedway.
Whe i built my bike I set it up to run with 26x1.75.
his bike can also run 700 singlespeed or fixed so it will be a track bike as well.
we planned to set up a track on our clay pan to see how much fun it will be , but its all wet as so wre just riding around town with brakeless bikes for now

Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier Landyacht, we're in the middle of moving premises and with just the four of us, we've been somewhat busy.

My missus spoke with my mate's missus and unfortunately they don't know anybody in Swansea. Sorry we couldn't be of help.
