I’m lucky enough to have several truly great sponsors on board who provide invaluable support in one form or another. One such example is Schwalbe tyres UK who came on board this year.

Schwalbe kindly provided me with enough ‘product’ for both training and competition to ensure that I haven’t had to worry whether I could afford new race tyres when needed or whether they would arrive in time before a major championships. If only someone could glue on my tubs (Tubular tyres) for me too!

I’ve really enjoyed using Schwalbe’s tyres this year including the Durano S clincher and the Ultremo HT tubular…very reliable and VERY FAST too. If proof was needed, the HT’s were used to good effect in achieving the fastest bike splits at the National, European and World championship.

Keep an eye out here for a more in-depth product review of the Ultremo HT’s soon.

I’m thrilled that Schwalbe will continue to support Tri Team Dawson for 2014. I’m also looking forward to trying out some of the new options available in what is surely the most extensive range available on the market such as the ‘One’ (see above image) and ‘Ironman’ triathlon tyres, each of which comes in a clincher and tubular version.

Thanks Schwalbe!
