pad post count 27.5 worth it?
Hi,
I picked up used 27.5 " wheeled MTB. I was told the tubes were flat but it turns out the tires was slashed.
It is not an expensive bike new $200 cdn. the 27.5 tires are expensive!
Maybe this thing is due for the scrap heap and that is a shame. Where can I get inexpensive value treads for this thing in Canada?
thanks.

ha ha! I can pad my count a bit here...need to post a picture.
The bike has front disk brakes and rear V brakes...I don't see many used options for parts around....27.5 is pretty much dead, yes?

Why are you here? If you have zero interest in being a part of this forum use google. Padding posts is just silly there are plenty of useful threads to join in on if you are interested in bikes.
Probably can find cheap lower quality tires at Wally mart or similar type store but for those curious about 650b/27.5 tires they are easy to find and quite popular these days from road/gravel to mountain bikes.
