cheapish kojaks

Anyone want to order some kojaks (or probably other schwalbe tyres) for a bit cheaper, if people want a couple I can probably sort out 1.35 folding for £32.50 and wire bead for £22.50. List if you want in, or let me know if they are cheaper somewhere else.

That's the shop I was looking for, what's the postage?
We might be able to do cheaper if the wholesalers will sell for less.

Just over £5 per order, doubt I can beat that.

Good price.I Should've waited. Just bought a wired kojak for £16.99 inc postage from ubyk ltd.

Sport Contact 1.3 Wire 450g, 1.6 wire 500g.

Can't say whether the extra 65g is in the tread or the carcass but I haven't seen a damaged SC sidewall yet.

Because no one uses them.

They look alright and have lasted Ste ages, I reckon the 165g over folding is a bit much but 65g over the wired ain't bad so probably better value. Folding kojaks ain't cheap, actual trade price is more than the sport contacts.

Although trade prices would probably come down a little if more are bought, hence me asking if there was interest.

£20 for a folding Kojak is pretty good. Only looks expensive if I compare it against the wired Kojaks and Duranos I've bought in Planet-X sales fro £10 each over the last few years.

£20 is very good, although postage makes it a little more, if you get a couple it's cheaper than trade, but that seems to be the only place to get them cheap, a lot of places they're closer to £35.

Yeah, I bought a pair for me and a pair for Chan before Krakow, but I'd be up for getting another 4 myself, maybe some wired ones too, last me through the start of next year.
