HWW tyre warmers?

Does anybody know who sells HWW tyre warmers? I've been reading threads on various forums (sorry Dan) and HWW seem to be the ones to get.

Also, tyre pressure gauges? Which one and where from?

Any help most appreciated

Paul

Eh up Jules! I've just rolled a fat one for you. Good to see you too, are you going to help me get the bike on the trailer this weekend?

Anyway, how did you find that website? I've been searching everywhere. Do you think HWW are the ones to get?

I've heard motrax and GP warmers are poor. Diamond are good but the laces are a bit fiddly.

Everybody speaks well of HWW.

It sounds like they do a discount for 10 sets or more. Anyone else interested in a bulk order?

You see, Bert is OK. You're a laydee and therefore 'Bert' is a great name for him. But as Freak is a blooook, 'Ernie' is just a bit wrong.

Thumbs up I'm in....

Yep, think HWW are up there with the best, some people have tales of shrinkage on other brands, and after a couple of outings not being able to wrap them completely around!!!! Plus usual hot spot probs, and faulty thermostats reckon HWW are a winner. But what do i know, I spend my whole life confused. If you do get a group discount count me in, I'll have a pair to keep my feet warm in this flippin' office.

Yep, I'll be at yours on Saturday - need to suss it if we are going track-tastic next year.

I need a brew.....

I called in to HWW (in Halifax) yesterday to get some tyre warmers and met Gordon Whiteley (the owner/manager). What a top bloke! Completely passionate about racing.
I ended up chatting for half an hour about his son's racing and which tracks he likes. He also gave me his contact for suspension set-up, someone he uses close to where I live, so I might check them out.
