  1. In my experience folding (kevlar) bead is lighter but the tyre will be more prone to peel off the rim at low pressures. Folding bead tyres are usually much easier to put on than steel bead :)

    Dual ply sidewalls are stiffer and allow lower pressures with better pinch puncture resistance, heavier though. Personally Ive never had a pinch puncture with my single ply 2.35 high roller but Im only 11 stone and 5'8".

    Yep! I'm just half inch taller than you:P How about if I would run single ply in front and steel in back?

  2. Yes the brake is working fine! Its just that the lever goes in too far almost touching the bar. Also, when going down a hill, etc. the brake feels a little gritty, possibly the pads? Also, do I have to buy the specific Maggie mineral oil or can I just use baby oil?

  3. Hey everyone! I just got my first trials bike! And I have NEVER ridden one before in my life, only MTB and so when it pop up on the back wheel, I'm scared of going over backward!!!! Sure I can go back far enough that I have to step off, but how do you recommend I get over this? Is this normal? LOL, I'm just a beginner...

    ...obviously!
