Schwalbe Marathon Mondial 28x2.0 wanted in Sofia
Hi Markus,
I try to help You. I'm not in Romania.
When will You arrive Sofia?
Can You send me Your mobile number by PM?
How can You read WS by internet?
I found the member "Casa de cyclista Sofia" , I think, they are experts.

I sent just a sms to them
Thanks. I will contact them on Monday.
I am in Sofia. Actually i wanted to leave on monday... but tuesday will do too, if i am lucky to find the tyre..
The online shops Rose Bikes and Wiggle.co.uk sell Mondials and they will ship to Bulgaria in just a few days, and of course there are no customs formalities because it is all within the European Union. I am not sure you will find any local shop in Bulgaria that sells Mondials – in Romania I have always had to order them online, because they are unavailable even from shops that sell cheaper Schwalbe tires.
Make sure you buy the Folding version of the Mondial. It is said to be better quality than the non-folding version.
thank you,
might take some time till they are delivered i guess. I will try to find them in local shops on monday. i just wondered wether anybody has a hint that saves me some time mailing, calling ... If i am not lucky on monday i`ll oder them..
..
Yes, had the schwalbe folding mondials for 4500 kms now... without a single flat tire.. unfortunately one of them has a long crack on the left site... not good to go on like that...
Hi Markus,
unfortunately I'm not in Bulgaria at the moment to help you but you can buy a new tire from:
http://www.velomania-bg.com/index.php/en/dealers-en -> they have a few bakeshops and tires from low to high price range.They have a tires from Continental, CST, Mavic, Schwalbe, Tacx, Tufo
Their online shop is here -> https://dragzone.bg/en/?___store=en&___from_store=bg
as well as from here
https://www.bikecenter.bg/stores/ -> they dont have an English version of their website but the price are similar. They have a tires from SPECIALIZED, CONTINENTAL, CST KENDA KHE MAXXIS MICROSHIFT ODYSSEY RUBENA SCHWALBE

Hi Georg,

Some 15 Minutes from the center...
I asked to read this posts all of the available members by messages - and some asked . Great!
Hi Georg,
The the two that I have posted 2 position above have a lots shops in Sofia. Of course there are a lot mote bikeshops - Maxbike, Scott, Bike House, Cross, etc. but it would become more confusing than helpful if I started to write for all of them.
If you need something specific, let me know to check for you.
