Maate. they seem to be like rocking horse shit at the moment. I bought a couple of sets recently via tardme, but only one set were actually useable. The other set had cracks in the rubber. They weren't really noticeable until I went to put them on

. Oh, sorry. After that bleat, I'm afraid that I am no help.

I don't think the seller was trying to pull a swifty. I hope not anyway.

I ran slicks with cracks in em to start with. JC had them in his shed and they were free and the only ones I could get at the time. They worked OK for me for quite a while and then when I was finished with them Captian Soup used them for a bit, by the time he threw them out he had to pump them up between races.
Still worked OKish though.

it's common for slick to get cracks in them (well it was a few years back)
what date stamp is on them ?
