BaltazarMarques Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Morning all... I know I can ask my LBS but thought one of you might know of a better and more price competitive store/online shop/private seller that has the below for sale... - (New Nobby Nic 2015) Schwalbe Nobby Nic Evo - Snakeskin TL Easy - PaceStar 26 x 2.35'- Schwalbe Magic Mary Evo - Snakeskin TL Easy - TrailStar 26 x 2.35''- Schwalbe Rock Razor Evo - Snakeskin TL Easy - PaceStar 26 x 2.35 Easybike was my first go to as they are normally good with price on the schwobblies and even though their lead times are sometimes a little long for imports, I have time as really only need for middle of next month - Had no reply in 4 days though. Do customs whack you with import duties on tyres?

RockCoach Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Onza Ibex in 26" are also good options Balt. I meant to show you on Johan's 120 on Saturday but we got distracted. BaltazarMarques 1

But still keen to try the Bronson/vigilante combo...

Do customs whack you with import duties on tyres?I would suggest to go for SG Schwalbes. After I destroyed the sidewall on my MM evo snakeskin on SP2 at Hakahana cup#1, I sold the 2 extra tires I had with evo carcasse and got 2 new MM SG from easybike... Of course they are a bit heavier but I think it's worth it.... BaltazarMarques 1
Skylark Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 How much are the MM SG at easy bike? They seem to get their schwable tyres somewhere that allows them sell them at pretty decent prices relative to the typical us or eu street price
s14phoenix Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Just had to add that my hans dampf snakeskin and nobby nic snakeskin survived the monster and I did not have a single puncture or cut or anything on them. they especially handled the downhill at 55+kmph very nicely and I am even more impressed by them now BaltazarMarques 1
Skylark Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) I got them for R699 eachThat's a sound price, shipping is another R100 per order? Edited May 26, 2015 by Skylark
Cassie Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 must say...I'm paranoid about front washing out at speed & cornering... since my Scwalbe Hans dampf snakeskin 2.35 up front...that worry has been elliminated!! :thumbup: NukeproofPeanut 1
Skylark Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 I'm enjoying my HD's, a solid all rounder and I've found the rolling resistance very acceptable. Rear pacestar is getting a little chewed up, surprisingly the front trail star still looking good, overall I'd say they are wearing well. BaltazarMarques 1
remfactor Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 That's a sound price, shipping is another R100 per order?Yes, something like that.
BaltazarMarques Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Ordering through EvoBikes. They have stock of all three models and replied to my mail. Also not that much more expensive than Easybike in the bigger scheme of things and shipping is free on orders over R1000 so make a bit back there. Going with the SG casing on the Magic Mary on your advice Remy.
