Skratchski:
Can these things still be ridden? id have thought theyd just disintegrate, i intend to put em back on cos theyre O.G. but if i decide to ride it sometimes are they gonna fall apart?

pickle:
I wouldn't ride em.......just get some cheap Duro ones for that  :daumenhoch:

Gnarlyscoots:
They look good enough to me to ride. Az long as the walls are not hard, crispy an brittle, they will be fine.

Rub some vaseline into the side walls to help keep them moist too  :daumenhoch:

Skratchski:
thanks for replys chaps.

rodriguez:
I wouldn't ride them either when you can pick up a set of repop comp 3 yellow labels for about £40 and they are bound to be worth a lot more than a set of repops.

They look in pretty good condition so they would probably be OK but there's always a chance of a blow out and as rubber degrades over time the chance is greater.

You are lucky to have a set keep them for show.   :daumenhoch:
