Alex@Flawless Bikes Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 I was working to day at Halfords when i noticed that the new (08) apollo awsome dirt jump BMX comes with echo (bike trial) front tyres, back and front! What i also though odd is that a front echo is £15 and this bike as to so what £30 of tyres on a bike that only cost £80, so that means that bike trial (echo) tyres must really be dirt cheap!Probally not the most intersting thing in the world but it made me think Apollo tyre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phreemann Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Heh, you're right. That's quite strange.Maybe you should go in one day with armfuls of really cheap BMX tyres and swap them round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Clayton Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 WoW Thats well wierd, A cheap bike like that and with ace tyres, and you buy a t-pro for example, and it comes with sticky fingers or luna's.Good topic it's making me think now.Ross.

dozydame Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 yeah thats really confusing, you can get them tyres on mission prodidgy's but surley they can't be actual echo tyres, can they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the666ers Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 They mosty definitely are exactly the same tyres. Echo orders most of its parts from a catalogue in taiwain, they probably are dirt cheap! Bet you feel ripped off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BONGO Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 hehe, i do have a dick yep. Thanks for noticing! (awaits the "yeah shame it's on your head" jests *chortle chortle*)I'd take the f**kin tyres off and replace them with some other randoms that must be lying around. They'd be better than the echo's for the bmx anyway!Bongo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
