Thay have 16 on order at Chap, tenative arrival date is Oct 15. I ordered one, too, if it shows up earlier I'll let you know. What is up with HD 17" inner tubes? I can't find any, the Metzeler I have now isn't what I'd call a real HD tube.. I got one from Malcolm Smith a while ago, but as with any shop, it depends who is on the other side of the counter. I got a dummy last time there... CA Stu

Do you have to buy it ahead of time? I'd like to have my name on one but I don't want to actually buy it for another 11 days.

This is why I want you to gimme your old tire. I ran the larger (110/100) 18" Bridgestone ultra-heavy in a Gripster and it worked great. This tube won't fit in the slightly smaller Kenda. I bought the smaller (100/100) 18" UH tube and I wanna to try it out in a Kenda before I spend time ripping mine off the bike. Comprende? RM PS. Krok is going to order an HD 17" from Dual-Star. Bug him for a full report. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? NEW from Yahoo!
