No stock in UK either and they wont be spares on our container either.

Really bad news
Does that concern only Nightrider tires or King George tires too?

Just the nightriders

Thanks for the info. I’ll wait for a King George then. As I have two 36er to build, I’ll build the second one later with a Nightrider
By the way, good luck with your tires issue. Hope it’ll be fine as soon as possible!

I installed a 36 TA tyre on a CF rim last week-end for a guy who never built a unicycle, and I had no issue, just need to use thin rim tape and put tyre bed in the middle of the rim.

Yes, I think my mistake was to try to use the default Oracle 36 rim tape. With a correct rim tape I have a lot more space to put the tire in it. I now just have to find a new tire
