So i'm looking all over for new tyres, and i've found Conit GP4000s in 200x23c flavour for £22.90 each.

Now, it seems too good to be true, anyone bought these from here?

    They are one of the biggest german bike shops, usually some really good deals, just have to factor in shipping costs unlike in the UK where most of the big boys offer free shipping

    At £52, they're still cheaper for a pair of GP4000s's than anywhere i've found in the UK!

    Think the order will be placed!
  • They must just order them in massive quantities as they come as the stock tyre on most of their race bikes. I expect that keeps the price low.

    http://www.bike-components.de have them on special for 50 Euro a pair. Shipping is normally five euros.

    As a general rule the German shops are much cheaper than UK for parts (unless on special in UK)

    The clothes however are much cheaper in UK.

    I bought these tyres from them this week!

    For 2 tyres and 2 conti tubes i paid £49 inc postage.

    Like them on facebook and you get £10 off your order.

    I will definitely use them again.

    Great prices on UI2 stuff too....
