Title: old school tyres
Post by: FAZE3 on December 13, 2012, 10:04 PM

I've just discovered to my bikes in the loft and noticed some of the old tyres are going a bit "dry?!"

Has anyone had this or even better no a way of stopping it? Anything I could wipe um with :P

I use the tyre gels you can get from places like halfords.  Although, its hard getting tyres back to their former glory once dry rot has taken hold :(
