??? Er, BMX Museum, OZBMX etc...

Don't know about OZBMX and I don't use the museum anymore but I can't exactly remember it being 'bargain city' and I seem to remember that a lot of Septics refused to ship to the old world. Kn0bs. :LolLolLolLol:
Those Kenda K55's are a great compromise as they are just like Panaracers but I remember looking for a set a while back and they were only available from the States and the shipping was a bit of killer. ::)

They only refuse to ship as too many people over here have 'alledged' item not received and they have lost lots of dollars :yahoo_silent: You will find many will offer you insurance, at your cost of around $2.50, which covers you both. It costs $30 - $35 to ship tyres from the states, flat packed not folded, which is not much at all :daumenhoch: Just be polite and they will generally help you out. Or do as I do. Have a couple of members that will ship to you here and have them buy it for you with your funds. Just chuck them an extra few dollars for their time :coolsmiley: You come across far more tyres than you would over here so worth it in my opinion ;)

I have not encountered one member on the museum who has refused to ship.

You must be buying crap that nobody wants then. They like to keep the good stuff for themselves. :LolLolLolLol:

Tioga are a massive company,they are in the game to make money,they reissued the comp 3 as they still use the moulds and it would not cost much to do this :daumenhoch:
Two sizes in one colour,so not difficult to do,plenty of people will buy em :daumenhoch:
Freestyle tyres,they would have to choose styles and colours and sizes
So st,s 1.75,2.125 white, black,red, pink,etc,which do they reissue ???,will they be stuck with loads of one colour ???
They have to make batches of tyres,not just a few to make it viable :daumenhoch:
If you want to ride with genuine o/s tyres,get your hand in your pocket,or be prepared to wait until some come up at the right price :daumenhoch:

Right ,so Duro , the company that make the Porkchop tyres , also a huge rubber company , are in it for the riders ? Of course not , everyone needs to make money and there`s obviously a market .
As for the colours and sizes , personally I would be happy if Tioga just did black skinwalls ( Sts , Pools whatever ) in a 1.75 . I never thought pink tyres were a good idea even in the 80s .
