Recently picked for the British Army (Royal Corps of Signals) Dispatch Bikes and used by the Swedish Army too (in heavy snow one would imagine). If it's good enough for these brave lads then it's certainly good enough for me...
They are half the price of the Conti's!!!! The two look very similar although I am told the Trelleborgs are slightly more robust (Agricultural).
Your trip sounds very interesting... Stay safe and ride carefully (on your Trelleborgs that is).

Thanks! I'm leaning toward the Trelleborgs too and maybe a set of MT21's for when they need changing, My sister is in the RLC out in Iraq so I'm going to get her to ask the boys out there if they rate them... Sometimes the kit is just bought because its cheapest, not the best.
Tyres... Carnets... I just need to pack it all unpack it all and then keep panicing... Roll on the 10th March!!!
