Hmmm I hope they are. I am about due another set!
After burping a Nobby Nic 2.4 a few times I am ready to go back to a semi UST tyre!

I really like the Captain for what its worth 
Very similar in tread pattern to a Maxxis Advantage (if I recall correctly)

Hmmm the Eskar was a very similar pattern to the Maxxis Advantage...
Might have to look into the Captains...

Those crazy light things that are on your SS are similar to the advantage, the captains are a bit different.

hmmm they are still up on the specialized website. Are they stopping making them, or stopping bringing them into NZ?
Looking at the tread pattern of the Captain I would rather have some eskars... might see if i can buy some from someone that still has them in stock...

Noooo - my fav tyre gone too!
I had Captain's on before PBR recommended I try the Eskar. - (I think I am right) - this tyre is slightly heavier and more towards freeride than the Captain. Anyway - I have this tyre on the front and I love it...
Will need to look for suitable replacement in due course
