  1. Will slap your ass next time I come flying past, pink wheels and all
  2. Anybody know who the distributors are? I'm keen to take it up with them.
  3. Thanks Butterbean. I want to scrape it off as it looks so wrong. Still a little concerned about sidewall integrity though as it will remove this "bonding" material. Had i known this would happen I doubt I would have purchased.
  4. The online store called Cyclesharp. Have had great service from them over the years
  5. Hi DR. No sealant present in tyres, I'm running with tubes. Never seen anything like it before and I've used many brands (including Michelin in the past).
  6. So I was wondering if anybody else has seen this happen to their Michelin Tyres. I fitted these late Dec and they've started oozing this weird pink rubbery stuff. Have no idea if its a defect or what and am worried about the tyres integrity if I remove it? Furthermore, it doesn't look all that appealing. The tyres in question are Michelin Pro 4 Endurance. I tried taking it up with the supplier but no response as yet. Has this happened to any of you and is there cause for concern? Nick
  7. Hey All So I don't know about you guys, but I'm one to stick to what I know when it comes to replacing tyres on my road bike. Kinda the type to play it safe when it comes to components that I choose for my bike, and generally persuaded by reputable bike brand names. So when I look to replace my tyres, I typically go for what i had previously used, unless of coarse they sucked and I got too many flats or they wore too quickly etc. I've had bad experience with Gatorskins, so haven't looked at Continental in some time. So my question is (and this is directed to Conti fans with Michelin/Schwalbe/Vittoria experience): Are the GP4000II or GP5000's as good or better than say Schwalbe One or Michelin Pro 4 Endurance/Vittoria equivalent? Considerations would be typical: MileagePuncture ResistanceRolling ResistancePriceI'm interested to see your opinions/experience and how the big 3 brands fair against one another in SA, specifically Road Tyres 23/25 C. No experience with Mountain Bike tyre's so don't go there. Cheers Nick
  8. Taken from my Instagram account. @fullgasvink Thought the canon was appropriate. Supersix in black gloss.
  9. Me when I'm older
  10. Just beautiful isn't it. Ritte, if you are seeing this, please sponsor me!!!
  11. Oh @#$&, just realized the Conti only comes in a 26 size. Bummer!
  12. The Ikon look practically identical to my current Kenda small block 8's. I'm guessing the "knobbly" type tyre would have more resistance than a smoother tyre, right? Seen Continental Double Fighter tyre which looks quite appealing as it is fairly flat with just enough small knobs for grip and durability. Anybody got experience with these puppies?
  13. Wow that was a quick reply, this site rocks. Will take a look at those options, if I had the worlds money wouldn't need to cycle to work n back.
