  • The store that stocks the Dugast now stock FMBs. They're £20 per tyre more expensive.

    Against what baseline? You might want to consider ordering direct as it might be cheaper..
    Dugasts used to be really good.. Like the best of the old Wolbers... But the new Dugasts seemed to be less rigid quality.. perhaps they ran low on the old Wolber materials, I think, that Andre was using.. Dugast cross tyres still seem the only game in town but the road tyres have met their match.. FMBs seem to take over now where Andre Dugast left off.. These are the tyres that a lot of pro-riders are even paying out-of-pocket for...

    They have both cotton and silk, Dugast and FMB. But I did'nt think the silk was worth the extra cost and reduced robustness. I'll rethink that somewhat.

    Silk rides much nicer. Back "in the day" the ultimate tubulars were Clement Campionato del Mondo Setas. I just could not afford them...

    Veloflex Carbon were top of my list. I get on well with their open tubulars. They seem to hit the sweetspot for me in terms of performance vs robustness/cost. But I can get the Dugast cheaper here.

    You might want to import them from Germany... Sub 60 EURO/each. Norway is outside the EU so you might be able to get the 19% taken off .. Not sure about Moms these days... but even if it gets added on.. If still under 450 NOK..
