Hi,
Does anybody know if you can buy Kenda K55 street BMX tyre's(20x1.75) in the UK? They look very similar to Panaracer freestyle tyre's(black/tan walls), i've found them on Ebay, but they all seem to be in the States.
Any help much appreciated :daumenhoch:
Cheer's, Buz ;)
-
you can only get em on US ebay as far as i know but they are still well cheap including post.Retrodan72 has them on a cople of his builds i think,they look ace! :daumenhoch:
-
Sorry lads, the guy only has 1 left, will be good on Kappy's unicycle. :LolLolLolLol:
They were bargains as you say, £26.50 a pair inc postage, I bought 2 sets this month, one for my Performer but I let Steve Firebird have the other set yesterday. :daumenhoch:
I may give the seller a buzz, see if he's getting any more. ;)
-
The seller just messaged me back saying they're not planning on getting anymore in. :(
Then I found another seller, but he don't ship Internationally. >:( >:(

I also emailed the seller last night & he or she got back to me today saying 'They should re-list more once they come back in stock, Regard's, Candy'
Ebay user id: dana67301
So finger's crossed eh!

Candy sounds like a porn star name. :P

His shipping costs are a bit steep though.
-
His shipping costs are 5x more than the other seller :shocked: :shocked: :wtf:
-
A set just arrived at mine today, so i'm happy...for now!! :-\
-
I know its digging up an old thread buy ive just ordered a pair of these for my performer :). Worked out to be just short of 22 quid posted....bargain!
-
They are quality, absolute bargain too. :coolsmiley:
-
Such a shame they don't come in white!!I'd be all over 'em! :daumenhoch:
-
I know yeah,they did make them in white but they work out to be around £60 a pair plus postage from germany. Id still like to get them but 60 for kendas seems a bit high for me at the mo

That's still not bad as there are little alternatives as pork chop doesn't seem to do his comp st repops in white anymore.The only other reasonably priced alternative if you want nice white tanwall freestyle tyres in 1.75 are the Odyssey Freqeuncy G flatland tyre at around 25 quid a pop.new skool but fine for a rider.My mate has just bought a set for his beat and they look ace! :daumenhoch:

ive had 2 sets off dana67301 he's spot on :daumenhoch:
-
I paid £60 inc postage for a set of white ST copies from pork chop, they were his last set.

Those Odyssey's look really nice! But yeah you're right, there isnt much choice anymore with white 1.75's :( . I wonder if Porkchop will be doing another run of white ST's? I emailed them the other day about a white repop dominator and they said they'l be doing another run of them in the new year :)

So it was you that snapped up the last ones eh..... :LolLolLolLol:
They use the same moulds as the good ol days from what I can gather :) ....Would be ok if I needed red or green as theyve still got stock left. You'd think with how popular it is, they'd still be looking to run another batch off. Especially white as its a guaranteed seller.

Gav.. would you not rather have real Kendas than copy STs :daumenhoch:
I've got a pair of those ones from Rainers and they are lovely :)

I guess so Ed.....But then I keep looking at those Peregrines (i know theyre black) that are only 3 euro's more per tyre and it gets me all confused :LolLolLolLol:
