Title: Cheap tyres?
Post by: brettnai on November 02, 2008, 11:03 AM
I'm putting a bike together for my mates xmas pressie, he always comments on my bikes and says how much he'd love one so I'm making use of an old Reflex frame I've had lying around for a while and sourcing some cheap bit to go on it.

I was wondering if anyone could suggest some cheap freestyle tyres and where to get them from. They can be any old rubbish really, I can't see this bike going further than the shop n back

Thanks in advance
Brett

I've seen cheap tyres in Wilkinsons if they've got one of them near you, about £6 each I think. Or scout around grubby old bikeshops

Cheers Mark,
I don't think we have a Wilkinsons near here. We have lots of bike shops but they tend to cater for the trendy fixed gears and thats about it.

There must be some cheap unbranded tyres I can pick up from somewhere.

I had some cheap knobblies bundled with tubes and pedals in this thread if you can't find a freestyle tyre :daumenhoch:

Hi mate,
sorry i've only just spotted your reply.
Thanks for the offer but I've manage to get some Oddy Barefeet which will do the job nicely.

Thanks again
Brett
