Yep it does Phil, but for a pony inside, just buy two rolls and renew it when it lookes faded :coolsmiley:

For a rider, forget it I suppose but then let's face it, at an average weight of 15 stone these days, we don't ride ProClass wheels that much really do we ::)

i tried getting technical and looking for 15mm wide stuff (as thats how wide the wheel is) and realised that the link was for wider stuff anyway.
