I don't. It's very common to find Continental tires well below MSRP ( https://bikecloset.com/product/continental-terra-speed-700-x-40-cream-sidewall-fold-protection-tr-black-chili/ sells the Terraspeed for $40). Try finding Rene Herse tires for anywhere close to that price. You can't. I can buy 4 Terraspeed tires for the price of a pair of Rene Herse tires. The difference is just as extreme if you compare Continental GP5000 700x32 against the Rene Herse equivalents. I'm a cheapskate though, and don't hesitate to run $10 SRAM 11s chains when I can find them, and back before tires were cheap in the US I'd import them from England or other places in Europe where there's significant price competition for bike parts. At one point when Avocet was going out of business I bought a 3 year supply of their tires at $10/pop. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
