Skinnies? What's that all about then?

(1/3) > >>

factory pilot:


Okay I know smaller kids ( like Tony Lee )  rode skinnies BITD ..
But did bigger riders .. why? What are they all about .. ?
Was it a choice?
Could I race them against 'fat and thin' tyre riders?
What was the score?
Anyone ride them now?


Bubba Hayes on some ...
Which got me thinking about all this ..

Lighter , faster .
Could be twitchy going in to a corner on lose gravel.

I had them Bitd. I remember Tony Holland , Craig Schofield and Dale home using them .  :daumenhoch:

Skinniest I’ve gone is 1.5” on the Ripper
I think they make it look fast  8)

Skinnier tyre ...less resistance.....more speed!
Lets not forget Eddie Fiola either who rode them in the 85 KOSP in an attempt to get more air than the others!

isn't this a question we should be asking DTTDB after seeing his BOTD entries?
