Out of stock at Ribble :evil:
Anyone know of anywhere else that has them in black/red 700 x 21at a similar price to Ribble (£39.65)?

    It's almost 8pm on a Saturday, so no. :wink:
    I was just wondering whether anyone had tried to order any recently, that's all.

    750 miles on crappy roads. 1 puncture.

    If I had stopped after the glass bottle exploded under my front wheel I would have been fine. Rear puncture about a mile down the road, just after thinking 'phew I got away with that one'.

    Also, if I hadn't tried (and failed) with PitStop, it would have been easy enough to open/patch/sew (or send it to tubular-repairs.com and get them to do it for a tenner). However the PitStop sealed the deflated tube together and wrecked it, so I sent it to tirealert.com in the US for a replacement tube - £25 including postage both ways.

    You can be unlucky and puncture on your first ride, but that's not necessarily the tyre's fault! It does suck though :evil: I was annoyed enough after a few months of use.

    Ahem....I think there are a large number of men on these forums whose shopping prowess is far, far superior to mine! :D

    I always check Shiny Bikes for prices - last thing I bought was same price at Ribble & Shiny Bikes....only difference was Ribble was free p&p.
