A couple of new places I've not come across before, which have turned up in recent web searches;
Holly Mill Cycles, based in Carlisle (www. hollymillcycles.co.uk) Velomax, based near Birmingham Airport (www.velomax.co.uk)
Anyone used these in the past? Any good/bad points to post? Both have some stuff on offer that caught my eye, especially the very tempting (and decently-priced) Tufo clincher-tub 'cross tyres that Velomax are selling. On the subject of which, anyone had experience of the Tufo clincher-tub system? Feedback very welcome, as always.

Wakies Cycle Centre in Codnor Derbys. will beat any price for the Tufos. Website is [censored], but if you ring him you'll get sorted, just tell him if you've seen them cheaper, and he'll match if he isnt already cheaper. I've used the clincher tubs for a few years now, and find them really good,though I've just taken my last one off tonight, as I got a good price on a pair of Fast Fred CX tyres! Alan.

Many puncture problems? And in the event of punctures, does that Tufo sealant stuff do 'exactly what it says on the tin' (apologies to the makers of Ronseal)?

Don't apologise to them, that was a commonly used expression for many years before they got their grubby little paws on it.

It only works if it is a thorn or other such small hole. I hit a rock which caused a 3mm split in mine - there is no way the sealant can fix that.And once you have a hole like that, its new tyre time. The previous year I didnt have a problem at all over around 18 races, whereas with tubes and tyres, I reckon I would have had at least 2 or 3 punctures. Alan.

Just tried the Tufo tubulars (I got them from www.sdeals.com), so can't comment on the clincher versions.
