Wanted: Any have a crappy old tyre to donate?

i've killed my top contact and can't get a new tire for my rear until 3 weeks, riding about on a bmx is a bit killer. If anyone about east tonight could donate some old piece of shit to keep my going for a while, i'd be very grateful! cheers!

The Magic Bin Of Tyres I'll Never Use reveals an unused Conti Ultra Sport, purchased as an emergency spare before last year's DD. My number's in the phone numbers thread if you don't get a better offer.

hmm Fairies really do exist!

and funny enough I have "tyres I'll never use, but never throw away" too

For some reason I have tyres I have used but seem to never throw away.

I have four (4) Vittoria Diamante Pro-lights, a Bonty hardcase, and assorted other random tyres, all hanging up in the cupboard in which I keep my iron, ironing board and wine rack.

Somehow I can never bring myself to do anything with any of them.

Me too - a few different 700x23 knocking about. including a nicely skidded conti gator, white/black rubinos, and a racelight in grey. Camden.

I run all my tyres to proper fuckedness.. where you're either on the tube or you p_nct-re before leaving the house. :)

Dammit.. what are you doing with those Vitts? How old are they?

Two came off my SystemSix and the other two came off the FTP.

I ran both pairs for about 200 miles/364,875 p_nct_r_s on the Fuji, on the Cannondale I swapped them straight off after the first p_nctr.

whoah!! some serious rubber up for grabs, cheers!! Nah I was returning from some birds house, who funnily enough asked how often I get flats...5 mins later I get one, had to bmx to work (set up with some tiny little chain ring). shite.

randonneur 32c yours if you want it, its down to the red stuff a little bit in parts, but probably get you a few weeks of use out of it if you're not too harsh on it? failing that I may have a bontrager hardcase in 28c knocking around that might do the trick also.

If you're not gonna use them again... I could test them on the commuter.. then I would have tried the "light" ones too yay :)

Slaytanic and Hippy you are free to raid my tyre cupboard.
Only thing is I am not going to come to you- souths or south easts.

Slap a bit of gaffer on them and they'll be fine.

I was just about to post an 'Offered - crappy tyre to donate' thread after skidding through 4 layers of a gp4000 today. Weird thing is it's been fine for 5 months, always run on a gearing that allowed 17 or 19 patches but in the last 3 days 1 massive patch has appeared, very strange. It's now like playin russian skid roulette, 16 regular gripped skids or a huge one when I hit the balding patch.

Might swing by your place (South OMG!! Goblins!!!) one night :)
