Thats great info, thanks, are the ISM saddles very comfortable

I though I would post this to see if anyone has had problems with their prostrate through cycling and their saddle or riding position, I have to have a test for PSA levels and was told not to cycle in the meantime, when I came home and googled it there were loads of info about it especially in older men and their are even special saddles for it, Iv'e cycled over 4000 miles the last couple of years... wish I had known this before!

I'll start the ball rolling, here are 2 pics one of Shwalbe... now you might need a magnifying glass if your sight is poor but you can just make out made in Indonesia in tiny print almost on the bead... Now in nice bold print the Continental proudly stating Made in Germany, however now were leaving the EU the whole world is our Oyster.....

I had a quick look at the brexit thread but I really think people need to lighten up... lifes to short!!

We could turn it into a Continental debate.... get it!!!

I dare not look at the Brexit one! wouldn't that be brilliant that a Shwalbe tyre could outstrip Brexit!!!!

Believe me it amazed me as well, but I guess it takes all sorts, but I do have my theories as to why!

Great... a sense of humour I like that

This post which I put on just to show what had happened to my Shwalbe tyres, however or why-ever it happened which I thought might be helpful is going nowhere except round in circles, Shwalbe it seems have a cult like following by some and I have obviously upset that cult. Therefore in this instance I believe it would be best to agree to disagree on this subject. Many thanks for your replies nonetheless.

Can anyone recommend a 36 volt carrier rack battery somewhere between 13 - 15 ah

Lol... already done that previously with Top Contact 11 before buying the Shwalbes so thats what I'm going back to

The point you are missing and that I'm trying to make is this has never happened to any of the other makes of tyres I have used the last few years and I am doing nothing different now than then.

Well most people Iv'e met during my many years would not go out and repurchase a product that has let them down, everything on this planet has faults but its a free market where we can choose what we want to buy, You are trying to make me out to be a real baddy aren't you, but Anotherkiwis response was as I say fraught with mistakes and second guessing so the response he received from me was in keeping with his as was mine with yours calling me a bigot! thanks for that!. We obviously will have to agree to disagree so good day to you.

I think you have hit the nail squarely on the head in that you would not purchase those tyres again because of this... thats exactly how I feel about the Shwalbes I purchased.. no difference really
