Repro “Onza Porc” white tyres

Well done with the sales but is that how your sending to the UK one wrap of clingfilm
Yep. All orders are like this. Zip tied together with plastic shipping label. The film is just to stop the white getting dirty in transit. And if they do get dirty, they’re made from rubber so pretty easy to clean with soap and water.
Shipping them this way is far cheaper and better for the tire than boxing them. Happy to box yours if you want to pay the extra shipping
 
Great story and good effort getting it done!

I still don’t really understand why Onza don’t do a run of official ‘heritage’ repro tyres - there is clearly demand.

They did/do a remake but with a different design and called the porcupine...
also onza tyres doesn't not have the OnZa logo rights, that's a different company. (It was held by rock and Roll bikes and they 'made' Trials bikes, rings, headsets etc Also held a lot of Magura spare for cheap. Seems to have vanished now though.
