Buying 27 Inch tyres

Does anyone know where I can buy online some good 27*1,1/4 tyres.
Nashbar.com seem to have 27 inch conti's and a few other brands, has
anyone used them at all.

Thanks in advance.

Sheldon Brown has a range of different 27" tyres at Harris Cyclery at:

For a tough 27X1.25 you couldn't go past the Scwalbe Marathon - excellent
touring tyre, used on world expeditions. I've just ordered (and promptly
received) half a dozen of the Avocet Fasgrip 27X7/8" to keep me in tyres for
the next 10-20 years.

I should of mentioned sheldons site but I forgot too. I was in their
today and the minimum order is $100 US for orders sent overseas. I was
looking at the Scwalbe Marathon, maybe as you say I might have to buy a
few to get me over the $100 mark.

Oh yes, forgot that. I recall now that my 6 tyres and 6 tubes came to
$US101.

Timing is everything.

If you run through the order process but stop short of finalising it,
they'll give you the shipping cost as well.

I went through the process but stopped when they wanted my credit card
details. If I don't get an email reply then I will do as you say.

No worries. If you put in the location, the checkout should tell you
postage. It has some weird formula which often doesn't make much sense,
but they stick to it. They send via USPS (ie regular gov't post.)

One point - Shimano components can only be ordered on weekends.
No kidding.

Try Abbotsford Cycles on Swan St, Richmond. They have lots of bits and
pieces, wouldn't surprise if they also had 27 inch tyres.
