roly Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 love the rear rim... what is it??same sorta colour as mavic grey if im not mistaken...Yeah, its really similar colour, its an Atomlab GI from Tarty. A bit heavy, especially with that tyre but its cool. I can't find any decent tyres, what are you going to run on your new bike? I'm not a big fan of the tiogas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a big fan of the tiogasSounds cool man... will check out them rims ye tyres for 24 is an area i think needs attn (in Australia anyways) Cant get Tioga 24Dh tyres ere anymore and its ridiculously expensiv to order some in! Anyhoo.. thinkin of tryin out the holy rollers 24x2.4 - nice tyres slightly softer grippier compound then wat im using dmr moto 24x2.4. However i gotta say... the Dmrs have not yet let me down in any street riding. I spend very little time on bk weel though. But sidehops bunnyhops etc are mint on em.. superlight and last amazingly looooong! check em out if your only streetin...beer on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
