Anybody know where I can get vittoria mazzas but in 27.5 in SA?

Asked few LBS in CPT to order but they said no stock.

 

Anybody seen them in store online anywhere

 

 

 

CWC had some 27.5 Martello in 2021/2.

 

On the shelf, never on their web.

 

Spoke to them 2 weeks ago, apparently they are NOT ordering again.

Could that thorn have caused the layers inside to separate and thus the buldge? Rode it like that for 10km.

Probably, but I have had this happen with a tyre without any sign of puncture or impact damage. Ammonia based sealants are said to cause delamination to certain rubber compounds. 

I guess an "autopsy" is the only way to give some idea.

Blistered indeed.

Rather thin these 120 TPI tyres.

Are you sure those are done?

There seems to be quite a bit of tread left on the shoulders

Where is @rouxtjie when you need him, he'd still have some years to go on those!

I have read some of the threads about them, but i still get really good prices on certain items, better than anywhere else.

Cajees They Have a Discount Policy Which makes a Difference.

They also have some Items not available at other shops.
