Oxford brand stuff, tyres, inner tubes, lights?

Post by WrightsW5 »

I had never heard of them until a few days ago, but have seen various listed now, are they good or rubbish?

Oxford are a well known brand in the motorcycle world and have some okay-good cycling equipment too.

Wasn't aware they did tyres, but I hazard a guess they don't design or manufacture themselves. Chances are they've just plastered their name to tyres made by someone else.

I ordered a 26x1 3/8 tube, had it a few days now, seems fine, not badly porous like some tubes.

I ordered these from ebay today, haven't heard anything about them, they take two AA batteries each, seemed to have been replaced on their website by unbuyable USB lights.

Oxford motorcycle products are fine from my limited purchase in 2002- 2010, what they are like now who knows- if it’s Same company look at motorcycle gear reviews as a guide.

Yes, same company as the motorcycle products. Bike stuff mostly good, such as D locks and clips, but they're not shy of selling junk like poor mirrors and easily-dazzling lights.
