Tomm Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 I want a 24" tyre for the front, any ideas? Would like something light-ish, and the cheaper the better >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Bleech Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 dmr moto digger >_< kicks ass, nice and gripy (ok its no maxxis) but kicks the shit outta a hot s! around £15 - 800g tioga comp3 a lot lighter - 500g, not very grippy, but very light, does the job, a bit smaller. around £15 mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich4130 Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 (edited) I want a 24" tyre for the front, any ideas? Would like something light-ish, and the cheaper the better :blink: ← IMO, either Tioga Comp 3 2.1, can't fault it really, not for £12 from CRC, great for street, grip isn't great, especially in the wet, Hot-S kinda grip i'd say, slides on wet bricks etc, 740g, narrow. Or, for street and other bits, Specialized Roller 2.5" REALLY light, 550g, sidewalls like paper, good grip, I'd liken it to a single ply maxxis, not that I'd ever used one haha, wears pretty fast, I pinched mine on the front, tapping haha, but thats just me probably. £20 approx. EDIT: Maybe one of thnese in 24"? Not been used but sound almost perfect. Tioga Blue Dragon Sport Edited June 29, 2005 by rich4130 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Bleech Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 EDIT: Maybe one of thnese in 24"? Not been used but sound almost perfect. Tioga Blue Dragon Sport ← tried for ages to get one of them in the uk - proved pretty much impossible (basically went for a moto digger instead)! CRC said they wern't going to get any in ever, but maybe they have changed there mind. A mate had the 26" version and it was decent. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Think I might go for the Comp3 - I could do with saving some weight on the front end - I've got an Atomlab DHR rim to go on there (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_C Posted June 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 (edited) About those Specialized Roller Pro Tyres- They're quite light but I also think they're pretty shit to be honest. I've been riding for about 3 years and had 1 pinch, then I get my 24, last December with that tyre and I've had 6 in the last 6 months and I hardly even ride! They also seem to wear down really quickly. If Mavic made they're Ex721 in 24" and Michelin finally realised how big 4X Racing is and started making Hot S, Comp 24's in 24" all would be well! Edit: Updated the FAQ properly now, only problem is going to be finding some of the rims or tyres in the U.K. Tom (Y) Edited June 30, 2005 by Tom_Leeson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 Tioga Blue Dragon 24" - HERE I just ordered one - Hope it's good (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 The blue dragon is good, seeing as you asked (Y) I want a Maxxis that won't fold as much as my 2.30 Tioga DH. Should I go for 2.35 or the 2.50? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Bleech Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 I need a new rear rim... must be 36H and strong and not too heavy, but not a ryhno lite xl, dmr or atomlab Was going to get a tioga DH, but can't get it in 36H I have heard that the Onza Ronnie/Reggie are coming out in 24" any news? been looking a mammoth dh's as they ain't too heavy in the 24" version mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Hey, Building up an et24" at the minute, and just got myself a set of Tiogas, from CRC so £25 each. Haven't had a chance to ride them yet as still need to sort out the last few parts, but look absolutely stunning and from what I've heard should stand up to a fair bit of abuse! Only thing is they are supposed to be disc only, and I'll be running maggies, so may end up grinding them if the braking is too shit. Depends on how quickly the braking surface wears I guess. Only in 32h though which I can see will annoy some people... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Bleech Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 are halo rims shit? inparticular the tornado and combat mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
011001000110010101110010 Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Toiga comp X great street tyre, weighs about 600g and only cost £15. Just make sure you run a reasonable pressure in it (30-40 psi) other wise it has a tendancy to fold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
