are there any out there?
i get hives watching my boy on his islabike ride over wet roots/slate/mud etc on his slicks so would like to get him some knobblies, any suggestions as my lbs hasn't got any
I've seen plenty of kiddie BMX/mountain bikes with knobbly tyres, though I couldn't say for certain if they were 14" or 16" wheels.
Halfords seem to be the masters of random tyres in random sizes, so try a branch or two.
Having said that, if he's cleaning this stuff with slicks, let him get on with it - he'll be on the podium one day 😀
Don't Islabikes do Contis as an option?
most i've seen are at best 16", have to go halfords later so am going to have a nosey around to see..
there is an arguement for leaving the slicks on i know but it scares me to death watching it!!
most independent bike shops should have them, usually cheap Tioga comp~III copies, or smoke/dart coppies
Had the same problem with my daughter's CNOC 14 - only time she crashed was due to tyres failing with grip.
I bought some from Raleigh that stated they were 14" but they didn't fit. Eventually bought a CNOC 16 which you can spec with contis.
