Blake Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 The price there's something like 18 different types x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 ^^ Pretty much. More expensive = 'better' compound. I do wish Continental would make these things more clear though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradJohnson Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Now's the time for Adam to do a super duper deal for tomorrow's advent calender, to get you to buy from him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 RRP of the 'best' one is £60: http://www.madison.co.uk/products/cycling/tyres-tubes-wheel-components/tyres/der-kaiser-26-x-2-5-inch-apex-black-chili-tyre/, so sounds like the one in the shop at £45 is a different one.

trialsiain Posted December 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 I have got more details out of him and turns out to be that one adam ^ and its 360tpi Now's the time for Adam to do a super duper deal for tomorrow's advent calender, to get you to buy from him I buy from tarty alot but i also like to support local bike shops too Im guessing there will be a christmas deal on tyres or something though since on the background picture for advent calender theres a man holding a der kaiser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Haha, not at all, I'm just joking around. Just seems odd they would sell at a loss, that's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 I've realised I've mis-read your post... I think... you mean their cost price is £45, not they are selling them at that? Either way that's still less than the cost price of the £60 RRP tyre (unless they have a different source). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rrp means recommended retail price. I'm pretty sure they're getting it at trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialsiain Posted December 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Yeah, folding will have thin walls and pinch easier cheers, do you know how to tell if its 180 or 360 tpi they said its 360 but im just checking. cause the codes are the same for both. Should the sidewalls feel like super super stiff to press down ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 I think the one I used to have was pretty solid as it was an absolute bitch to get on/off a rim! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
