New Premium Tyre Belts including Continental

Continental Sport Contact Tyre beltAs well as the usual range of knobbly and smooth tyrebelts available I have just added some superb quality belts to the premium section, the best of which are 4 belts made from Continental Sport Contact slick commuter tyres. Continental tyres make great belts and the orange logo looks fantastic next to black rubber when made into the securing loop!

Tyre belts make the perfect ethical and green Christmas gifts

Tyre belts make the perfect Christmas gift for discerning and hard to buy for friends and relatives.

Unlike a useless novelty gift imported from China and made by poorly paid labourers a tyre belt made from a recycled bike tyre has a very low carbon footprint and demonstrates your commitment to green and ethical purchasing as well as being a useful and interesting present.

Other Tyre Belt Makers

I have discovered other tyre belts available online. I thought my idea was unique and I was unaware of the existence of these other manufacturers until I researched the possibility of selling my belts. It is perfectly possible for several people to have the same idea independently.

I do know that my belts are cheaper and of at least equal quality, if not better.

The main outlet for belts online seems to be Howies, the very cool ethical clothing makers. Howies’ belts are not made by themselves but by Velo-Re.

Unlike the Howies belts, I use the tyre’s sidewall to make the belt’s securing loop whereas the Howies belts use a section of the main tread which is wider and chunkier. It is a matter of personal choice which you prefer.

I believe I offer a better choice of belts: 4 different types of standard belt plus the opportunity to buy a specific premium belt individually. Decide for yourself by viewing my Online Shop

Welcome to Tyrebelt.co.uk - Handmade Belts made from Old Bike Tyres

I have been selling these belts on ebay for some time now and they have been well received by people who have bought them. Selling on ebay is a hit and miss affair though and rather expensive so I have created this site as a better way to promote them.

I still often have belts listed on ebay - my ebay id is dunc9ql if you want to have a look or check my feedback.
