For sale : SKS Longboards fenders and Schwalbe Marathon Supreme tires

[Shankar Shastry]

SKS Longboard Fenders 700c 
These were on my surly which I sold a few weeks ago and I realised yesterday that I can't use it on another bike build :\. For the uninitiated, longboard fenders are the longest fenders made by SKS and provides the best spray coverage for you and the drivetrain. Here's a pic I downloaded off the internet which is similar to what I have on sale except mine has a small scuff at the front wheel. Mine also comes with pre cut stays and it fits tires upto 42c without any issues. 



IIRC, I had got this from CRC for about 35 pounds incl shipping and the customs was 30% :\. That would mean a total cost upwards of 4k. Needless to say, I hate the customs guys. CRC has reduced the price now and the new one will cost you INR 2800 before shipping and customs so that's what I have quoted.

Reason for sale : Not compatible with new bike build
Price : Rs. 2,800 non negotiable. Installation free if you bring your bike 

Schwalbe marathon supreme tires 700x32c
These are the best damn touring tires which were on my surly on sale for the same reason as above. These tires have done about 4800kms in total and are good for another 4-5k kms. These have had a total of one flat till date in all those 4800 kms and the reason was a super big nail on the hampi fleche after about 250 kms of riding through the day. New ones will cost you $110 before shipping and customs and considering the tyres have a little more than half their life left to give, I'm quoting around $40 for the pair which comes to Rs.2,500. 

Price : Rs.2,500 for the pair non negotiable

Please contact me by return email and I will send you photos/address/phone number.

I think you are being conservative here :) My ordinary Marathons have
done over 10000km now and tons left. They're great commute/touring
tires.

Also, aren't these folding tires?

Yes sir. These are folding tires.

Re the life of these tires : I just read on the net that someone has used the marathon supremes for 18000 kms and yet to get a flat or cracks on the tire! Its a shame I can't use these on my new build :(.

[Shankar Shastry]

Sold to a tourer :D. Thanks for your enquiries!

I was about to comment on the same, a bit in a different line though: Rs. 2500 for a pair of tires that would run only 4 Mm (read as 4,000,000 meters or 4000 km because my head spins when I read these k kms). That would have been over 60 paise per km, way too expensive.

Haha. We live in an expensive world, warrior :-)
