17" tire in Abuja
 

In case someone is desperate...

There is a well used 17/150 Conti TKC 80 at the Sheraton in Abuja. There is still some center tread left, so if someone was desperate it would be good for another couple of km...

When you go behind the Sheraton towards the camping area you pass a satellite dish surrounded by barbed wire. Right behind the dish, up the little hill is a pile of old troughs or something. Right behind them is the tire.

Enjoy and please reply to this post if you use take so people know.

Ha ha, I threw my old 21' Mitas on the big pile right behind the camping area back in July. Might still be there. It's got a little tread left.

:eek3: What the heck are you riding that has a 21 foot tire?!?!
:innocent:

Sounds like we should start some kind of geo-caching thing for all the gear people have stashed around the world. You know, you can take what's there, but you have to leave something else behind... :D

Just to let everyone know one from our group has taken that 17inch rear and i will be leaving my 50 percent used front road tyre in the same place. Front road tyre being left is of course 21 inch

I thought id have no problems getting tyres here in Abuja but i have (had probs). Does anyone know somewhere between Abuja (nigeria) and South Africa to pick up a set of any kind of overland oriented tyres? Any leads appreciated

Another update on the Sheraton tyre stash: the 17" rear and the 21" front are both still in stock and available for anyone in need.
