It’s erring closer to a year since the last public Substack post/email and nearly 18 months since I’d emailed your company to zero response to ask a question; when do you expect new company/product news to be announced?
Question. When will Gecko start producing tires for the 16 inch Brompton wheel? Brompton is the very popular folding bike used (and closely imitated) around the world by commuters who combine bicycling with travel on other forms of transportation including cars, buses, trains, and planes with their very compact, tri-folding bicycle. Brompton owners are also a loyal demographic typically interested in investing in upgrades to bicycles that typically remain in use for decades. This would seem to be a natural, target audience. Do a search for Brompton on YouTube and I believe that you will find more videos than any other brand of bicycle. I have a Brompton. Let me know when you intend to start producing tires for Bromptons and I'll sign up immediately.
Hello Robert, thank you for your comments. We do recognise the good opportunity for a 16" tyre that e.g. could be used on the Brompton bicycle. We will announce any plans we have for this size by July. Thank you for your interest in the new Gecko tyre.
Likewise for 20 inch (ERTRO 406) for recumbent trikes, which have special challenges changing flat tires. Thanks for your work in this area. Brilliant!

Hi guys. I'm really interested in trying your tyres on my gravel bike and your 700c x 40 is ideal. Where and when will I be able to buy some?
Cheers
