I take no credit for this idea, its all down to Simon.
This is a really good time to do a group buy like this with the outdoor season getting closer.
I'm unsure of prices at the moment, but needless to say, they will be a good saving as with all the other group buys that I have run.
I'm trying to guage interest just now - remember, the more you buy, the cheaper it is for everyone!

Are you going to be getting the take off tyres that come glued and trued or just the tyres themselves.If you are getting the tyres that come all prepared i'll take a set of CS 22's and a set of CS 27's.
Cheers

I will be researching it further this week, I'll keep you all posted.
Cheers.

ballsie remember our conversation about these the glued and trued ones they are the ones everyone uses and are by far easier than making them up yourself

Exactly, but they don't seem to sell them in the East :(
I will investigate further ...

I have spoken to a few of the interested people. This one isn't gonna happen. You don't seem to be able to get the T&G'd ones in the Far East.
I will ask the question to some of the UK sellers to see if they will offer discount for a group purchase.

Well done mate - can I hand this one over to you to organise?
If we can get some number either yourself or I can get back to this guy and see if he will do discount for a bulk purchase.

ok guys i think we have takeoff cs 22/27s
if we buy 10 sets of 27s and 5 sets of 22s the price will be most agreeable
cs 27 x10 =£20 per set
cs 22 x5 =£20 per set
thats glued and trued and delivered cant say fairer than that
im also working on a discount price for mini pins but i will discuss this with the comittee before going ahead with anything
i can also get 20mm rims (schumacher 12 spoke ones)
and it looks cheaper than anywhere else
we wil see how it goes hopefully this could see the start of cheaper wood racing
thanks guys

right the deal above is for takeoff tyres only as the mini pins are the same price as we get them for just now however i can still get 20 mm wide rims for £4.50 so that may also be an idea in with the order

Let us know when you decide guys - happy to help.
I assume your talking about us re 20mm wheels and mini pins as we can get a good deal on these also
