I'd be pretty annoyed
Can't they offer you a discount on the right tyres?
I should add, what would Elsa do?
Well I closed off the issue with an email to the shop yesterday as we were clearly not getting anywhere.
My view was that the advert said Schwalbe EVO Tubeless ready tyres and they supplied Performance tyres that are not tubeless ready. I saw this as a significant change and the shop didn't. We were never going to agree so I will just have to accept it and they can accept the lack of my future custom.
They did not see it as in anyway their responsibility and offered nothing in the way of recompense. There you go.
Many thanks for all of the support here as I was beginning to think it was just me.
As an aside I am clearly in the market for some tubeless compatible 29er Rocket Rons and have a pair of crap Performance RRs to swap; pretty much the same apparently!!!!

Was it [url= http://startcycles.co.uk/sale/category/scott-ex-demo-bike-clearance/scott-2014-spark-900-premium-ex-demo-mountain-bike-black-233979.html ]This one[/url]?
Where it says
This is an Ex-Demo bike, spec may differ slightly from that listed and the bicycle may show signs of use. There is no warranty on the components, however the frame is still covered by the Manufacturer’s Guarantee.
Just asking.
Mrlugz,
No, not that one but the wording is pretty much exactly the same.

You do know that schwalbe do produce a performance level tubeless tyre, it says tubeless ready on the same icon as the performance icon. I guess you may have spotted this though. If it doesn't say it then yup the tyre you have is non tubeless and will be a horrible plasticky compound so if swap it anyway.
Most brands state that specification is open to change at anytime so they may have just gone back to the shit tyres rather than the not so shit ones!
Hmm, that wording, and it being a ex demo, gives me a bit more sympathy for the shop.....
Me too. Ex demo, all bets are off IMO.
