True, it was a generalisation....what I mean is £50 a tyre is standard fare in MTBing so I assume Conti's line of thinking is that's what the accepted norm is...also £2300 (Skye money) for a bike is still okish money for a MTB where a lot of people would buy Conti tyres, so why wouldn't Skye customers?

I explained most trials customers aren't used to buying tyres at anywhere near that price, but they said thats what they're made in Germany tyres sell for. Also throw in the fact they will be made in such small quantities they could easily be sold for much more to cover costs...so it's a tricky one for them.

I'm also neither trampy or particularly young and unless I could source a deal on them I'd be hard pushed to pay the difference over a set of Holy Rollers.

I know, that's why I said "I'm not sure if this in linked"..... if the finishing kit for the bike isn't available then the bike won't be available......

My bad lol

Not sure if this is linked but Conti haven't put in to production the tyre yet. They don't have a name for it and as it's being made in their Germany factory it keeps slipping down the list of priorities being that trials is such a small market. Also I'm a bit concerned about their outlook for these tyres..... I think they've underestimated the want for them. They commented that they'd only make around 50 (so you can see why they're not breaking their backs to make them) and that they'd retail for a minimum of £50 each.

There is also talk of a far-east made version not in the Black Chilli compound but this won't be in the foreseeable future.

Sorry I was talking about the bike not the tyres lol
