Ryan,
Raceface make them, without promoting the use of overseas shops they can be located via the computer.
He gets asked that question on a weekly basis, usually from me!
There's a link in his sale thread for his Merida 99.

Hey Brownster, I notice you have Conti X-King and Race King tyres? How are you finding the combo?
I just bought the same ones in the 2.2 size and in the Protection versions but haven't fitted them yet.
Is that fork on backwards?

Protection sidewalls are seriously hard, were not my favourite tyre. Decent climbing grip though, just not the best when you lay the bike over
The fork is not on backwards, DT Swiss Suspension do things differently to most other brands
By "lay the bike over" are you referring to cornering? I kept reading about other versions (i.e. RaceSport) having weak sidewalls so erred on the side of caution.
OK, I always thought the brace went to the front.

picked up my near new XC/Commuter or an absolute steal !
Scott Scale 40 2009:
11.47 as is, but aiming for a sub 11kg build by:
- going 1x (lose rings, mech, cable and shifter)
- ditching old heavy Juicy 3.5's for new style Deore brakes
- running a smaller front rotor (180 -> 160)
- lighter stem (but wider bar)
- bottle cage delete
- chopping excess seatpost
complete build to follow soon
