Remember When?

Recommended Posts

Remember when Tioga tyres were the tyres to have? but were totally shit ha ha.

Remember when DMR ring thngs and fsa cranks were all the rage but the spider on the cranks was off set so the cut out on the bashguard didn't line up.

What are your "Remember whens"? I've got loads more but its more fun when other people add to it.

Remember when a 3ft up was big?

It still is for you...

Seriously though Alan, you should know better. You know threads like this make me cry! I remember small GT frames being the nuts, first set of HS33s, front wheel hops and learning squeakers. Plus a whole lot more... like first rides in London, and everyone worshipping British riders not these pesky foreigners!!

Like the first thread said about Tioga tyres.

At the bikeshow in Birmingham, 1 in 3 guys had a pair of Tioga 2.3 DH tyres hanging on their shoulders which cost a 10/15 for a pair.

Bichimen/ Tar was thing to run.

Kool stop reds were amazing.

Sidehops? What sidehops?? :P

A steel DMR sidekick was 'trials specific'

When EVERYONE had raceline yellow maguras.

When you could still actually do wheelies because you had a seat high enough that you didnt rub your arse on the wheel.

(for people near bedford/luton/dunstable) When attitude cycles was still open!

Yeah man blue with fat tubing. I wonder if the guy down the bike shop has still got the second hand one hanging up. Selling for 600 quid for just the frame. No doubt it's still there.

Trialskings was jaw dropping stuff. I remember seeing that stuff and drueling.

What about the racelines with super long levers.
