Pfft, performance/nashbar is expensive. PBK for the win. With free shipping how can you beat this:
https://www.probikekit.com/display.php?code=Y2003
$26 USD shipped.
$65 what a ripoff.

Check this guy out on ebay
69 for a pair. I bought two sets from him, yellow and light grey. I liked that they both came with 4 tubes. I think this auction only comes with 3, but he has all of the colors and new auctions pop up quick. Or just email him like I did and ask.

To Canada, my first order took only 7 days.
You did miss last nights 10% off deal though.

probikekit usually take about 10 days to get here. Their shipping is cheap but no tracking so you have no idea when it'll come. I bought 2 sets of Vitorria Rubino Pro tires at 16.22/tire. How can you beat that and that was when it was free shipping.

i flatted once eight months daily (brakeless, one skid patch) use on my last set and the flat was from riding over a piece of glass. they're fast and durable in my experience

seriously though, if anyone knows of a bike store (actual physical store in nyc) that has good deals on tires let me know. i've found a few good deals ($30ish for rubino pros) at chelsea bikes but it was a special sale. most places around here charge up the butt for tires, which can be a pain if you need them right away.
