Hi
On the hunt for Schwalbe City Jets , I have come across a few sets for sale, the front 12" city jet is still available and keeps popping up on EBay at bargain prices, it's the rear one that I believe are getting as rare as hens teeth.
I am hoping to receive a few sets this Friday if my supplier is true to his word, I have bought all of the rear tyres he had available. I am hoping to have 3 sets for sale after I have taken what I need. I can pass these on at £35.00 + p&p a set if anyone is interested.
Regards
Mick

Hi Chas
The sets come as 1 front and 2 rear. I have tried to buy just the rears but they come as a set , I will hopefully know more on Friday regarding quantity.

Sorry folks, after having paid for the tyres on Tuesday and having a delivery date of Friday, then I get an email this afternoon telling me they are out of stock discontinued. Now to try and get my money back.
I have one more iron in the fire, but will keep stum until they are in my mitts.

Hi Chas
Thanks for the warning, are the tyres from a place in Hampshire.
Without doing my maths , I would say the good ones are with blue/white writing.
