You can get the tyres above at pretty good prices from Rose bikes http://www.rosebikes.co.uk/products/...bes/tyres/mtb/ Ignore the fact they are a German company, their service is brilliant, their prices tend to be a little cheaper than some UK online shops Here's Merlin, one of the cheaper UK sites http://www.merlincycles.com/tyres-tubes-mtb-44248/

thanks for the links mav that german one is all well and good, but their postage charges are massive and make actually buying from them slightly more expensive. do these tyres get sold as pairs or do you always have to buy 2 separate ones if that's what you're needing?

Re: The MTB thread
Sold as singles mate, I'd go with Pookie's suggestion of Planet X for your tyres

Re: The MTB thread
Took my Calibre out on the trail yesterday but the Shimano disc brakes were really squealing. Anything I can do to shut them up?

Re: The MTB thread
i'm back and once again i'm asking for your advice please people. the second hand carrera banshee that i bought a few months ago (off ebay) has broken (the frame has sheared!!). so as a result i'm looking to buy brand new this time and hopefully save myself the hassle of going through all this again for a while. my main reason for asking for help is that i am having great trouble finding something in my price range with the kind of spec i'm looking for.
i'm looking for a bike with full suspension and disc brakes once again, but this time my budget has risen a bit and i'm prepared to spend more like £800. i realise from having done a little research that this is a challenge as most of the bikes that i have seen have been over £1500! (quite how on earth these kind of prices can be justified when you can get something with an engine for the same amount or less baffles me!). so i'm asking you guys because i haven't been able to find anything and am wondering if you lot know of anything that will suit me and my budget, thanks in advance....

Re: The MTB thread
How about http://www.decathlon.co.uk/rockrider...d_8213074.html
Everything I've seen says decathlon are pretty good. I had a hardtail of theirs and it was very good for the price |
