Halo Twin Rail Courier tyre

Trek Sal

Last week's Schwag Grab offered a taste of adventure, this week… it's a taste of rubber!
Not any old rubber either courtesy of Ison Distribution we've got five pairs of the very fine Halo Courier Twin Rail tyres worth £200 in total (okay £199.95 then) to give away to five lucky road.cc users.
Available in a variety of colours to match your steed – well as long as it's white, pink, green or purple, or you can play it safe with black or the two-tone black and grey dual compound Courier Twin Rail we tested.
The Courier Twin Rail may primarily be aimed at the urban cyclist on his or her fixed or singlespeed but as we found out when we tested them they are great all-rounders well suited to any sort of commuting or mile-munching – tough too, well they are made to cope with city streets.
So if you want some “Lively, dependable road rubber for aggressive fixers and mile munching club bikes” or indeed any other bike… get commenting.
Usual Scwag Grab rules apply – oh, and tell us which colour you'd like, not that we're making any promises mind
I would love a set of the pink ones for my commuting bike. They would make me look well factory.
The same factory that gave us Elton John. :thumb:
Yes please!!
Don't mind what colour... one of the more exciting ones would be nice though 
Stick me in for a random colour, anything should match my black bike. cheers 
White, would be good to know how many miles they stayed white for. Might even make the cars see me a bit earlier...well here's to hoping !
I ride a SS Tricross with 45/16 gearing at least 25 miles 5 days a week so i get through tyres!
Black or grey would be nice please.
A ride a day keeps the frown away!
I'd love me some green ones. Failing that I'd take any of the others.
worth a shot eh? anything but pink - it'll clash. 
Just the job for my fixie. Don't know why but I get theses bald patches on the rear tyre
Any of the bright colours would look grrrreat!

Pink looks ace (well, so do the others, but pink is best)
they will go with my hyperglo t-shirt
i dont want them thanks..(but im in Bath on thursday morning so could pick 'em up before the draw, save you the trouble.)
Any colour way would look smashing on my white halo aerorage rims. Green
or pink
why oh why no yellow
d'oh green didn't work
count me in for any colour
go for it, nothing wrong with making a bike distinctive.
not all carbon is the same.
purple good to me -- but on a yellow bike !!!!!
Polly
Got to be purple my favorite Opal fruit or is it still starburst....

Here's hoping that the little bit of tread sees my on my back side in the 09/10 winter on the snow and ice a less times than my total of 4 from the 08/09 season of slippyness!
You gotta love a cheesy colour co-ordinated tyres/grips/saddle combo
I bought a white pair of these for my pink singlespeed. They are now very mucky, so would love some lime green ones for a real clash! 
Lime green are my choice - or white any for that matter.
Purple please, it's just so imperial
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile.
I need some purple ones for my s/s build. However winning any colour would frankly be nice. 
Count me in please! All colours look good.
I'm grey (gray?) by name and green by nature, so I could go nuts for either of those bad boys. I'm looking, and I'm liking.
"Going faster than you on my bike since 1980"
I'd give the purple or green ones a good run . B)
Pink would rock for Mrs. Monkey's commuting bike...

"Tant que je respire, j'attaque!"
I like tyres, my bike needs tyres, any colour (I used to run twin rails on my mountain bike, they rock)
This one for Pedalhed who commented on the pic
Wicked colours. Count me in, please.
I would love the pink- and will give halo some free exposure by parading them round the sportive I grabbed last week if you fancy fixing the draw
Count me in, I would love a black pair, please.
Fat Boy
black and grey would look B) on my black Roadrat
I think Pink with my Lilac jersey would go great!
I go great with chips 
Oooh, any colour would be lovely - White, Grey or Green FTW
I would love the black ones!
any colour please B)
Lover of animal fat based food products 
Yes please, don't mind what colour...
black please cos i am irish !
doh ..... sorry, green
With tyres, I mostly adhere to Uncle Henry's maxim but in this case - any colour except Black please
Black and grey to match the colour scheme of my bike please.
a purple pair would be great
Give me the green one....or the purple one....or the pink one....or the white one....or the two-tone one....or even the black one......Just give me a tyre!!!!

No idea if I'm too late for this...I'm usually late for everything else. Pick me a colour that will out-do my workmates fixie which has bright orange wheels or I'll just go for the Grey/Black option to match my frame.
They all look funky, but preferably pink for me, coz
1. I'm a girl
2. They'll go perfectly with my pink and white fizik saddle
Oooooo black or grey please
once again i have to say nice review, always very helpful!
Dave
Rookie rider
Perfect timing !!!! My Hemispheres are on their last legs. Any colour you like as long as they are round 
Jonboy B)
grey/black would look mighty good on my roadrat...
Any colour for me please
B) Purple tastic! They look really great and a pair of these will make me travel faster!
I would love some of theses tyres, any colour, cos then I could say they are worth double my bike!!! I am a girl, bright colours are good !!
I will be extremely happy to recieve any of them...purple, pink or green would be the most fun I think.
Green please... 
Any colour's great for me, even the green 
Mean,lean, green
racing machine

Halo tyres
white ones will match my white rims... hope the tires stay cleaner though 
Any colour for me please. I desperately need new tyres as I keep getting punctures. Normally on my way home from work at 2am. It's not much fun changing a tube when getting abuse from all the drunks.
YES PLEASE! My battered singlespeed needs more colour... What goes with orange..?
black and grey do need some new rubber
Any colour please but would prefer the purple as it would blend in beautifully with my neighbours house in Balamory
Any colour - then I can get Lizard Skin bar tape to match!
Oooo, I like the grey ones, they will go with my hair!
Osa
Get some colour in your life. Yes please.
Im on board
DrugsAreBad.!!
all those colours (bar black and grey) would clash horribly with my frame. Nice
Free tyres I usually take in any colour
Pain is a sensation; all sensations are to be enjoyed!!!
