Yep, we skipped yesterday, and we’re going to skip Sunday, too.  Monday, we’ll start fresh with our last three days of giveaways!

Today, we’ve got a set of Vredestein Fortrezza Tri Comp tires in their new PINK color!  We’re also giving away TWO Helmet Locks for the 2nd and 3rd commenters to get all the answers correct. MSRP on the tires is $54.99 each, so today’s giveaways are worth a whopping $136.00!!!

Here’s a hint to lead you to some of the answers for today’s question:  They’re distributed by Veltec Sports in the US, and you’ll want to check out their US site if you plan on reading any English.

Since we had a little confusion on the last contest, here are all of the rules you’ll need to follow in order to be eligible to win:

  • All answers must be correct.
  • One entry per person…no edits or followups or second attempts, gotta get them right the first time.
  • Must reside in the U.S. to win.
  • If there’s any discrepancy as to whether your answer is right, we’ll leave the final decision up to the manufacturer so you don’t hate us if it doesn’t go in your favor.
  • You must use a valid email address to leave the comment, that’s how we’ll contact you if you win.

That’s it.  Good luck…now hit ‘more’ and get that noggin’ spinning!

Leave your answers as a comment on this post…  First comment with all answers correct wins the set of tires, the Second and Third commenters with correct answers each win a Helmet Lock!

1) How many different Fortrezza models does Vredestein offer on their U.S. website?

2) Which one is the lightest weight?

3) What are the last three products we’ve done a FULL review of on Bikerumor.com? (Hints: Not all of them are listed on our reviews page yet, and “mini” reviews are not considered “full reviews”.  In otherwords, if we didn’t give the product a Thumbs Up rating, it’s considered a “mini” review)

4) What’s the benefit of the Tri Comp rubber compounds on the Fortrezza?

5) Where was August 12’s Bikerumor Pic of the Day taken?

6) What is the metal stopper of the Helmet Lock made of?

Ready, steady, go!

Not sure if it matters, since no edits are allowed, but I got my answer of 7 Fortezza models from the Vredestien website here: http://www.vredesteinusa.com/road.html

which lists: 1. Fortezza TriComp Pro(Tubular); 2. Fortezza TriComp Slick; 3. Fortezza TriComp; 4. Fortezza QuattroTriComp; 5. Fortezza; 6. Fortezza SL; and 7. Fortezza SE.

This is different than the veltecsports website, which only lists 6 fortezza-branded tires. So, I completely understand if I didn’t get it. I just wanted to cite my information sources.

Thanks!

Joseph Remy won.

Cheeken, yep, you know what happened…better luck Monday!

Ojhornung, you got second.

Owen, yep, you had the wrong date’s pic…

Andy, you took third!

I’ll email the three winners to get their addresses. Just a note, all of the other prizes are shipping directly from the sponsor, but the tires were shipped to us on Friday, so as soon as we get them in our office, we’ll ogle them for a hot second them ship ’em out to you, Joseph.

Next contest: Monday…shooting for AM!
