Hi Richard,

Welcome to the website  The tyres are a problem, the preferred option is getting a set of City Jets but they are no longer available in 16" size.  I've recently bought a pair of  Schwalbe Marathon tyres but haven't fitted them yet.

Theres a couple of us in the Poole/Bournemouth area if that's any help, whereabouts in Devon are you?

Hope you get your C5 working again

Thanks!

Dan

Hi Richard,

No probs. I do have a pair of unused Raleigh Chopper 16" tyres you can have if you cover the cost of the postage?  I have had these sort of tyres on my C5s in the past and whist they're not ideal they could be used as an interim until you find some of the nice city jet tyres.

On the pic above, I was trying to make out the serial: 100050100810? If that's what it is, would you mind if I listed it on our directory page along with your username?

Hi there I think you will find that Ciff is the best cleaner as long as you wash it off after you have cleaned the C5 ...bye Chas
