  1. Anyone got recommendations, and an online source?

    TIA,
    Mike.

  2. Haro tyres from St.John Street Cycles are very good. I inflate them to
    80psi. I imagine they still have them. They are cheap and fast.

    On or off-road? Stelvios seem to be the tyre of choice for racing.
    Marathons (of various flavours) make good touring tyres.

    www.kinetics.org.uk stock them both.

    Other than that, try your LBS if you don't mind not buying online. They
    can almost certainly order them in.

    Schwalbe Stelvios for pure road use, Continental Top Touring for heavier
    touring/mild off-road. St John Street Cycles always seem to have stocks,
    including inner tubes.

    For inner tubes, go for Schwalbe SV5 rather than SV6 (or AV5 if you insist
    on using those Works of Stan, Schrader valves), as the SV6 is a bit on the
    large size. Alternativewise, if using relatively narrow tyres, the Cheng
    Shin 19-400 inner tubes are top kit. If you can find 'em.

    Just find a world that's into that kind of thing, then chain to the
    floor and walk up and down on it in high heels. (Mr. Sunshine)
