Hi all,
I think someone on the list has mentioned that VELOFLEX has declined to make fat tires but that was sometime in the past. I spoke to Mr Colleoni not long ago and he seems interested but will only be convinced if the demand for such tires is real, i.e more than 8000 tires per year. That's quite doable, looking at the number of actual 25mm to 27mm tires sold in the whole of the US, Europe, Australia and Japan.
Either that or a pile of cash, about $20000, can be found, the tires will be made.
