Hi Peter,

I recently ordered some tubs (28" x 27mm) via the new Dugast website at:

http://www.a-dugast.com/dugasteng.html

I did also enquire about whether they could supply tyres in 'custom' sizes, including 26", and was told that they could do so, at no extra cost but a slightly longer delivery time. They were very helpful. (see below).

Best regards,

Hello,

Yes it is possible to produce tyres for smaller wheels. But in that case you should know that there is a lead time of about 6 weeks.

Kind regards, Tamara Willems A. Dugast

Hello Wyndham,

There is no extra cost: we have more work, but we use less material.

Kind regards, Tamara Willems
