Grizzly Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 HAHAHAHAHA. Your wheel will buckle itself under its own weight, it'll be fine one day, youll come back the next and itll be flat Be Afraid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomR Posted October 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 I think my nokian tube goes up to 2.7, minimum tyre size it says to use is a 2.3 but ive always had a 2.1 until now. It's 1.5mm thick and ive NEVER had a puncture with one so i want to keep it really. And i doubt it'll fall apart, its one of tartys masterpieces. He built it in june 04, ive not ridden it loads but all it got used for was bunnyhops and drops(and plenty of messed up ones) on my trailstar, its still straight as hell.

TomR Posted October 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Nah, most of the weights in the hub. Im gonna get a new set of wheels in the not too distant future and put these back on my DMR. That or sell 'em and get 24's for the dmr.

Ali C Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 you mean a mirror then?You really dont need the dh tube with maxxis dualply tyres, they are really good against punctures. I just use a cheap specialised one and I dont often get punctures at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
