Halo Schwag Grab: winners announced! (finally)

Win some colourful rubber for you and your bike!

We've had a lot on our plate what with moving servers and associated faffing, but things have calmed down enough for us to fire up the random number generator and pick five names from the e-Hat: those five people will be sporting funky Halo Twin Rail tyres very soon, and they are:

 

Trek Sal
grant
sc129806 (catchy!)
robdeanhove
watercrook

Congrats to you five, and sorry to everyone who's going to have to spen money on rubber instead... Next up in schwag corner it looks like we might have a literary prize for all you bookworms out there. Check back soon!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 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  3

I like tyres, my bike needs tyres, any colour (I used to run twin rails on my mountain bike, they rock)

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.

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!  1

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
