Need some tan/amber or even red wall Mid to late 90s tires???
Got some lovely NOS Kenda Kontact but when they came they had orange walls and orange and gold is not good :buck2: so they need to go and I need some more before MK... any one got any ideas?
TIA :daumenhoch:

Primo vmonsters (park) or dirtmonsters (track) leap to mind but they're nigh on impossible to find in amberwalls
Readily available in blackwalls though... :-\
Or rainbow label comp 3's if its gonna be a race build?
Edit... just noticed that's no race bike... :crazy2:
-
that orange looks awesome against the gold Ed you should go with it
-
Cheers Betty :)
Finding a pair is the important bit :)
Thanks for the feedback though dude... :daumenhoch: I've seen pics of the tan wall monsters but can;t find 'em :'(

;)
Joking aside (if that actually was funny), they're not period correct, but for a rider some Fit FAF tyres? Bit pricy though. The Captains got some Comp III copy tan wall tyres in the for sale section?
-
Man I don't want to me seeing big Dave up in my thread Dan ;D
Well thats my back up plan as I have FIT FAFs on my Sport and I will be putting some Kenda compIII type tyres on for MK to race her so the fits can go on the Haro... but I'd rather have something on the right era like the Kontacts are :(
I never used to be this anal.

I fookin love my tan-wall v-monsters, I've riden them at Leicester a few times. Bought them from USebay and haven't seen them since. Cost me a lot as loved v-monsters but hated the black-wall.
I'll swap them for a set of white Arayas.... ;-D
(sorry bud, couldn't help it - they're not for sale)

Might be easier to find some KHE Lamello's or Haro Multisurface in Tanwall if the Primo's are thin on the ground :daumenhoch:
-
Sid's just some bloke I met in a pub I'll have you know you middle earth dweller....
(well it was Radchester last year I suppose...)

Now then, Now then, Now then, Rt. Hon Brother Ed
I too have the same problem.
I have recently bought a pair of Tioga Power Block tyres for my DirtFoil rider because of how light they are (check and compare on Tioga website...No really)
Now I'm keeping the tyres but hate the Blackwalls. But I am approaching the problem a different way.
Tomorow I'm going to B&Q to steal a 1" paint brush while my accomplice Jolyon the Crow distracts the Till 'Person' (Usually not able to determine what sex they are) by actually paying for some beige paint.
I shall then mount the tyres on a shitty radial spoke wheel that I found in the Trent . Then I will cut out a big circle (drawn Free Hand) out of some cardboard and stick it to the wheel with some Chuddy. this will leave the Sidewall exposed which I will then paint in B&Q's finest beige.
I am expecting the reults to be a revelation meaning we can all run whatever tyres we like and make them 'Tanwall'....

Cheng Shin used to do their V monster copies in tan wall as well, but I haven't seen any of those in years, not a lot of good to You really but I thought I'd mention it :LolLolLolLol:

Not sure you should be giving out LLP trade secrets though... :-X

Lenny you are a fookin' loon brother :LolLolLolLol:

Len - you seen this - rubber paint :angel:

Yellow is the closest - no beige which is a pisser.
Watch out for centrifugal force... what am I on about! you are a Nottz Scientist! its mandatory.

Ed,
Rubber paint is sh!t, don't waste your money, we used to use it on our inflatable tubes when I use to build RIBS, (rescue boats)
I used the LLP technique a few years ago on my `62 Vespa Sportique, just to see if white walls looked good before buying some, white emulsion, lasted all summer, must have done 30 or 40 miles on them!!! (at at least 25 mph!)
I would rather do the emulsion than rubber paint, but you could try mixing a bit of pva wood glue in to aid adhesion and longevity.
NB. Lenny, does this experience get me on the R and D team for LLP?
Cheers
MM
