Title: ARAYA SKINNY TUBS
Post by: Dan73 on November 15, 2010, 02:28 PM

Afternoon,

Can anyone remember BITD, that you could race skinny's with tublar (sew up) tyres?

I'm doing a Curtis Expert race build and I wondered if anyone can remember them, and what the tires were that we used. I reckon Tioga didnt make em, and panaracer rings a bell.

They weighed nothing, and I'd like to try it if I can stand any chance of getting some tires.

Any recollections welcome!

Dan
PS. I have the NOS rims - just the tyres that I need and a nice set of blue ano hubs if anyone has any lingering about!

I think they both made them, Mitsuboshi and Panaracer, but like said try Alan's as he was selling the sew-ups a while back ;)

Bugger! Just spoken to Alans and they cant get them any more.

Confirmed they were panaracer though!

Any other ideas??
