No more Vredestein recumbent tires?
I was talking to Bill Cook (of Barcroft fame) this morning. He told me
that Vredestein has given up on the recumbent tire market (at least in the US). Anyone else heard this? |

Yes. I tried to order a 406, 1.3 S-Lick yesterday and was told by Barb at
Hostelshoppe that this tire was no longer available. I was able to order the 26" version however. Brad. |

No more Vredestein recumbent tires?
Another Happy New Year or what???!!! After all the "hoops" I went
through, that is very sad news if it is true. I looked everywhere for Vredestein tyres and found them at last, at Zach Kaplans. If anyone might know about truth to this rumor; he might! Anyone interested in buying an Optima Rider with 3 two month old Vredestein tyres on it? Chris Jordan Santa Cruz, CA. Zamfoo the Magnificent wrote in message ...

The Monte is still on the website: http://www.vredesteinusa.com/sp-tyres/index.html But the 20" size of the S Lick and the Monte are not in the print catalog, and I was told at Interbike that they would not be importing them, unless someone special ordered "a large quantity." Not sure how many. The importer is: http://www.veltecsports.com/ John Riley |

S-licks are still on the Vredestein website in both 559 and 406 varieties, and are still being adverstised by dealers in the uk, so perhaps it's just in the USA? ref: http://www.vredestein.com/fietsbanden/ (under products/ligfietsen) http://www.settlecycles.co.uk/shop/ If you're prepared to pay the markup that we in 'ripoff Britain' usually have to pay, then you could order them from over here!
