Those who know me know that I am a massive fan of tubular tyres for mtb race purposes, and I have some Czech connections. So I looked into it and can get some good prices on the Remerx rims and Tufo tyres. If these has ever piqued your interest, now is the time to find out for yourself. I would like some for the team, and as we'll be getting a load over I thought I'd extend a group buy to those here. I'm not going to be making any money on these, just covering costs of shipping and VAT, so they are CHEAP (for what they are)! </p> <p><a href="http://www.remerx-rims.com/tubular-disc-rmx-7345-4/">These rims</a> in 29" (28h only) or 26" (28h or 32h) are £40 each. </p> <p>The <a href="http://www.tufo.com/tubular/">top-end Tufo mtb tyres</a> will be £65 each and come with tape. </p> <p>Mail me on sam at singularcycles.com if you want in before the end of this week - payment needs to be in full and up front. The order will go in next Monday and delivery should take approx 2 weeks, though that will be confirmed once the order is placed. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/why-a-singular-post-yours-photos-here#post-1895627 Wed, 13 Oct 2010 14:06:54 +0000 fenboy 1895627@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>i don't think a disc kite would be that worthwhile given your ex range. Gryphon etc as you've mentioned fill that gap ..stick with canti's as is and the grey but put mudguard eyes on for a little flexibility and no real weight gain and they'll fly out the door. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/why-a-singular-post-yours-photos-here#post-1895496 Wed, 13 Oct 2010 13:36:52 +0000 clubber 1895496@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>A year works for me actually - just had my cross bike repainted so it's not really time to sell it...

Just a suggestion - the Peregrine might also be worth having a look at - something I actually have in stock rather than having to wait another year for it <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":-)" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> This is what I'm struggling with a little bit regarding a disc Kite, how it would sit in the range relative to a Gryphon and Peregrine. </p> <p>The carbon rimmed wheels are Reynolds DV46 rims laced to Tune hubs with Sapim CX-Ray spokes. I built them up. The single most noticeable upgrade I've ever had on a bike. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/why-a-singular-post-yours-photos-here#post-1895280 Wed, 13 Oct 2010 12:47:48 +0000 clubber 1895280@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Sam - yeah I guess but I use my cross bike as my winter (and usually summer with typical weather) road bike too so the Gryphon just looks like a bit much for that really and the geo is very much more mtb suited by the looks of it. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/why-a-singular-post-yours-photos-here#post-1895222 Wed, 13 Oct 2010 12:36:17 +0000 The Swedish Chef 1895222@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>They look like they have very different angles Sam, are they comparable? </p> <p>I do have to ask what the deep rim carbon wheels with disk brakes are though, what are they and where were they made? </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/why-a-singular-post-yours-photos-here#post-1895152 Wed, 13 Oct 2010 12:18:32 +0000 ton 1895152@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>bill...........cos i have a split personality....... <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_wink.gif" title=":wink:" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/why-a-singular-post-yours-photos-here#post-1895138 Wed, 13 Oct 2010 12:15:36 +0000 kaiser 1895138@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Ton...I'm still intrigued as to why you were advertising the swift for sale soon after building her up but more recently named it as one of your perfect bikes .please enlighten me then I can focus on other things <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":-)" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/why-a-singular-post-yours-photos-here#post-1895136 Wed, 13 Oct 2010 12:15:26 +0000 Sam 1895136@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Clubber and The Swedish Chef, you could also consider a Gryphon?
