Guess it will be a few on the road around this time.. ;-)
I will for sure visit you in Osh...but will bring my extra tubes with me from Denmark - and the tires will be new Heidi`s K60, as I used them for my trip from Denmark around Iran and back, a few years ago - and I was very satisfied with them! :-) ...but a coffee or a cold beer it always welcome How have you guys handled your isurance/ bike and yourself, in generell ? - my danish insurance company is not very happy about it... :-/ |
Usually I do not write such things, but I looked at the prices of the tires and I was a bit wondering about that.
I would consider them as extremely expensive. It is more then 2 times as expensive as you would order them to Almaty ... I can understand that if someone really needs a tire you can ask whatever price, than they have to pay it, but mir then 300 $ for a set and 45 for a tube is really nasty. You do some advertisement here in the HUBB and than this price? That is even more than a Swiss price. |

Hi there
I see the opinion about pricing is already going wild. :-) and now body mentioned the expenses to get them here... To contact me you can go to my webpage and then fill in the contact form to send me an email. Due to the HUBB advert rules I am not allowed to post emails etc. or talk about other businesses badly. Tubes for cross (with a CR) are more expensive in Europe. https://www.reifendirekt.ch/cgi-bin/...ebote+anzeigen Looking forward for your email. Dave |

It depends very much where and for what kind of roads you are heading. If you are going north from Osh and as much as possible gravel and off road I do recommend a Shinko, the E700 for a good mixed and the 244Series more for off road focus. The Heidenau K60 Scout has the longest distance and is also made for mixed. It has a very good reputation. To brake a tire you have to go really wild. But everything is possible in the pamirs. Most likely is that a sting can happen and you have to change the tube, unless you ride with mouse. Let me know if you have more questions. Dave |
Maybe to bring tires and tubes from Switzerland is not the smartest option, first import it to Switzerland, than reexport and import it to Kirgistan???
maybe it would be lots cheaper to get them from Russia from Dean, you have a custom union there..... And the medium tubes ( 2,5mm ) are also available in Austria https://www.auner.at/produkt-n528346...-9090218010021 |

concerning the tires:
I ordered the Shinko E700 with Dean to Volgograd an rode them until Japan, through Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Kirgistan and all the way to Vlad. The Shinko is an amazing tire, and blood cheap in Russia. I do not recommend Heidenau K60 Scout, as there are much problems with constant quality, the rear tire was completely destroyed in Georgia already. Dato helped me out... so my advice would be: get the E700 in Russia, they´ll make it and it´s fun to ride them. And for whatever reason everything concerning motorcycle travel is so expensive in Kirgistan...I would avoid taking any service or buy stuff in Kirgistan. |

Good evening, do you have any news about possible criminal acts (after the killing of cyclists near Dushambe) ? Is it all quiet? Is the road between Dushambe - Khisti Poyen - Kalaikhum - Khorog - Wakhan area - Murghab quiet ?
Many thanks. |
I drove it 2 weeks after the attack on the cyclists.
No problem, everything was quiet by this time already. Local people were upset because of this.... |

Hi there,three of us travelled the M41 in August about one month after the cyclists attack.We accidently followed the southern route to the Panj river,we had no problems at all.The vroad wasc reasonble to Khulob but then rough over the hill toward the Panj,suddenly becoming a nice two lane blacktop through to Kalaikhum.The road to Khorog and Ishkashim is mixed bitumen and gravel pretty standard for that area.You will need to get GBOA stamp on your Evisa though.
