more uselelss **** that we are being convinced we need...

Useless???? This will be extremely useful for when I want to try a different tyre combo but still have tread on my current ones.

Think the crux with this is here

: "Schwalbe presented the first tread cutter for MTB tires at the opening round of the MTB World Cup in Lourdes, France, April 7th to 10th. "

So whats the difference with this tool and a typical wire cutter ??

 

About R400 (26 flippin Euro's)

 

Seriously though, like V12Man said, I only really see this in a professional team's technical area. Just started today on a fresh set of knobblies, want to keep them like that.

I just lol'd. Schwalbe is clearly learning from the people who market baking soda.

I wouldn't trust myself near a tyre with one of those
