When will I be able to buy one? It seems ages since they announced it. A few bikes fitted, but no spares catalogue. Anyone on the inside prepared to part...

Ok, 24" by 1.25" with a presta valve is scarcer than rocking horse ****. Now, I have a 24" by 1.5" with a presta valve. The question is simple; Can I...
