Whoever raced on these obviously doesn't read BQ or believe what they say.

I am sure RBW isn't pleased that others with no production stake in the 
tires are going to undersell them.

  They also sell some Nitto items, some that may be hard to find elsewhere. 
Many other items too that are hard to find, some are closeouts etc. Very 
eclectic !

   I saw the various Jack Browns and Fatty rumpkins mentioned @ the two 
sister websites .
I've ordered stuff from them before, uneventfully perfect .  The prices 
fluctuate often, and shipping fluctuates wildly !  If it's really high one 
day/week , check back later, it's guaranteed to change a lot !

It's a reputable shop, and they do in fact seem to stock 25.5 Jack Browns. 
They even have them with fun colored sidewalls. I'm gonna guess the ad copy 
is tongue-in-cheek. It's pretty easy too find 'em on google. They say, 
"Recently we were able to strike a deal with Rivendell cycles to take over 
their tyre range including the Fatty Rumpkin, Maxy Fasty and our favourites 
the Jack Browns." Does anyone know any specifics of that? Did Riv ever say 
they were getting out of the tire business.

I can post some links or just company names if nobody objects, and if 
anyone is interested.
