Nashbar has been asked
Thanks Bee Dee for starting this thread.
I borrowed your email and doctored it up for Nashbar's bicycle tires. Hope you don't mind, but I thought it was a nice email.
Here's what I sent:
Dear Kind Folks at Nashbar,
I would like to know whether you use any animal based source materials in your tires or in the process of making your tires.
As a member of No Meat Athlete, an international group of Vegan athletes, it would be nice to be able to use your tires for our bikes.
As an example; stearic acid can be fully plant based but also mixed with animal sourced stearic acid.
Can you please tell us whether that's the case and if there are any other concerns for us regarding the use of your tires?
Cheers!
David H.
I'll let you guys know what I hear from them.
