Who has the best deal?

Thanks

I just got a set from Jeff (Big Kid Kites). Check to see if he has some in stock.

postage form America is more expensive than postage from the UK...how does that work then...any local shops in Canada?

markite - 20-1-2011 at 08:45 PM

I might have some options for you if Vince doesn't have anything. It would be cheaper locally rather than shipping form Ontario with the weight of the rubber but not bad. Maybe what you need is just the set of hubs with bearings - then pick up the tires locally?
One option for you. I have some wheels here and probably a set of rims that are for some buggies that guys won't be picking up until closer to spring.
Try Vince and I'll check what I have and shipping cost etc just so you have another option in case nothing close by.

carlisle barrow tires are easy to get in AB. so you just need rims / bearings and spacers. if you want just rims (no hardware) i have this in BC.

I've got a shed full of tires that were stockpiled at NABX last year - never run. I'm certain Vince can hook you up with the wheels. I'd have chimed in sooner but I thought you meant actual "barrows" - like utility wheels from the local DIY shops.

Thanks Ric

I do have some complete wheels on hand. Both standard and x-wide.


BTW: The guys at CP must be demoing that Phantom.....it's been in Edmonton since Sunday. But not at my place!

WTF, its suppose to 2day service from BC to AB. is there heavy snow?

calling CP now.

Vince H. - 21-1-2011 at 12:17 PM

I already sent in an online query yesterday. It's probably sitting in a corner somewhere.
Can't fly anyway. Rotator cuff injury. Three months and still healing.


Snow? Did you say snow? Edmonton hasn't had this much white stuff since the 60's. Things slowed a little but didn't come to a stand still.

macboy - 21-1-2011 at 08:54 PM

......Vince.........does that mean a Phantom coming your way to YOUR quiver?!

Wahoo!!!!

Sunday. 20 knots CLEAN. W/NW

Sounds like a good day to be outside to me. See you there or are you working this weekend?

Vince H. - 21-1-2011 at 10:01 PM

Yes, that is what it should mean, but Canada Post seems to have other ideas.

Sold off my trusty S's, will be selling the Guerilla II's as well.

Unfortunately until my shoulder heals I won't be launching anything, except maybe something to pull the 18 to 24 inches of snow on my roof.

What you need Vince is a tandem snow buggy - you can sit and yell "faster, faster" - absolutely no pressure on the shoulder. Let that heal, I had a long time shoulder pain from partial tendon tear and kept aggravating it along with every other kite related pain. Takes a looooong time to feel a little better.

veinstein (sP) tires they last a bit longer than the 4.80x8 slicks/smoothies. the measurements are different too, i have to go look what it is again. they havent been out since NABX 10'

kiteboyza - 26-1-2011 at 09:31 AM

still waiting for Vince to come back to me, what is it with shopkeepers:dunno:

markite - 26-1-2011 at 10:44 AM

Did you try him direct via his website or other contact info listed there - I don't think Vince frequents this site.

kiteboyza - 26-1-2011 at 12:13 PM

sent him a message on here

Vince H. - 26-1-2011 at 02:21 PM

Mark is correct. Not on here much.

Been working double shifts everyday recently due to work partner being away on holidays.
