Repop tyre quandary

<< < (4/6) > >>

ED209:
I'm still confused tho ...

"Just been sat here thinking this over, as I have recently been looking at building 3 longer frames for me to actually be able to comfortably ride. One is finished, but I still have a Pro and a Cruiser to complete.

The finished one is my WHEELS Pro, which as many of you know I used for the London to Brighton charity bike ride."

Longer .... Pro?

Don't you want a actual 'longer' bike to ride? my 22" TNT was lovely :-)

dinglem:
Well I managed 54miles on the WHEELS Pro and that was plenty long enough for me. Comfy, but then the frame design and angled back seatpost tube really makes it feel a lot longer than the TT length suggests. Much more room than my WHEELS Expert.

The others are my WHEELS Cruiser which is longer still, and then 'Rusty Rick' my Rickman Pro. I'm no giant myself so they are all fine for me. I was just really comparing them to my other previous builds which were kind of show bikes but not really built to use. I also want the missus to be able to ride them, and she's all legs.

Anybody who rides old tyres is just a bit stupid.

Is this the best place to get freestyle tyres from or are there any other available other than the new Panaracers?
