650b tyres in & around Cape Town

[hannesm@me.com]

I am looking for 650B gravel tyres (Tubeless) preferably 43 (max 45) wide (preferably black) in & around Cape Town.

I can get MTB tyres, but I am looking for some fast-rolling tyres (like Pirelli Cinturato Gravel H, Panaracer Gravel King SS, Vittoria Terreno Dry, Good Year Country)

Seems to be quite a challenge.

Switchbacksports have tan and black in 650b Panaracer in stock

These guys have a few options

I recently went on the same hunt - your only option is Panaracer. Previous 2 posts have the details.

The Rook scouts are also 650b so Rook cycles stock some usually. 
 

WTB ones on special atm:

Speak to Janos at Evobikes.  Not sure what they have on the shelf right now, but they do often carry stock of this.

 

CWC often has on the shelf, while not reflecting on their on-line store .....

 

SportsmansWarehouse is another to keep an eye on.

eye watering price

I have 4 x Kenda Flintridge Pro 650x45 which was used for a short while. I sold the bike thus no need for them any longer. Black

I am in JHB however. If you arrange for them to be shipped and some beers, they can be yours.

Hi Nico,

thank you for your generous offer, I really apricate it. I have a cannondale slate which has a max of 42 wide tyres, and you can squeeze 45's if they are really 45's. I checked the web and the actual size of the Flintridge is closer to 50mm than 45 which unfortunately won't work. Once again thank you.

Popped in at CWC

 

nice semi slick 650B 1.5 tyres, road use, not the gravel you are looking for

 

No 650B gravel options in stock.

 

 

 

Also nothing at SportsmansWarehouse.
