TrialsIsHard Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 What is that you're using as rim tape? Looks like some sort of cling film (sandwich wrapping film) Can't imagine it would offer any protection at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence--Trials Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 You should get a kenda 2.1 tyre up front and rear shwalbe big better on the rear, both really good tyres and really grippy. Very light too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlperkins Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 love it mate! i have a sneaky suspicion that those pedals are going to snap and that rear tyre has a good potential for popping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 looks way nicer with a higher bar setup, I look forward to some more vids from you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G_! Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 love it mate! i have a sneaky suspicion that those pedals are going to snap and that rear tyre has a good potential for popping. no idea about the tyre, but i had echo pedals on the rockman for a few months and they still were alive. I don't ride hard, also i'm quite thin, so i think the rear tyre can work good for me looks way nicer with a higher bar setup, I look forward to some more vids from you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
