Funny you should mention tyres, it reminded me thats the other OE part on my bike! Shows how much mileage I have done in 9 years! They are Specialized Crossroad EX which are no longer available in the tread pattern I have but the current ones are of the same ilk, that being they use a central solid tread which rolls really well but have blocked sides for the sloppy stuff and are still 1.95 in width. I cant rate them highly enough for general use both on and of road. I did switch to road tyres (specialized nimbus) when I did the London to Brighton but they came off as soon as I got back as the Crossroads are so capable.
As for the bottle bracket, I had assumed that for the price it was going to be aluminium so was a bit dissappointed it was plastic. Its more than up to the job but at nearly 15 quid delivered I think its a bit steep for two small bits of moulded plastic. As I said though its a brilliant solution so its worth every penny in that respect.
