Just had a quick look for (26″) tyres to see what was available in their fire sale. “Aha,” thinks I, “a pair of Panaracer Fire XCs at £29 each, just the job for my bimbling use.” So I put the order in and sat back.
Then, out of curiosity, I went looking elsewhere and quickly found the very same thing at Merlin for £17 apiece. They’re shown as folding bead too, surprisingly. I know they’re not the greatest tread and they have 1990s written through them like a stick of rock, but I care not a jot.
Anyway, the order with CRC is now cancelled, Merlin have my business instead.
