Schwalbe have today announced that they will be sponsoring the Caersws Cup Series in 2012. At a meeting at Schwalbe UK's head office yesterday Chris Roberts, Caersws Cup Series organiser signed the contract with Dave Taylor from Schwalbe UK. This association was a logical step for Schwalbe with Danny Hart Winning the DH World Championships on Schwalbe tyres and also supporting the British Downhill Series Schwalbe see this as a stepping stone for newer riders into the sport at Regional grass roots level.
