Title: Fishbone Kong Fu almost finished! Tyre choice?
Post by: paulb113 on September 11, 2014, 07:06 PM: Just fitted new seat,decals from Del,tyres,grips and bars and it looks loads better.(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/09/11/79d815c256c81da5194431ddfd3d335c.jpg)(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/09/11/8bd646b893e6662249683400ca404b82.jpg)

Would it be too much to change the tyres to green Gusset pimp ones? thinking of using the Cult Dehart tyres on my new school WTP Zodiac so I could possibly run a front brake?

Post by: paulb113 on September 11, 2014, 07:30 PM: Sorry Ed, I spent all afternoon putting all the new bits on the bike, Its new school size so the 22mm is too small. It had a faded gold tuffneck style one one so stripped and polished it for now.

Post by: paulb113 on September 11, 2014, 10:40 PM: Someone mentioned about the a guy had the Fishbone for sale I had seen them on another build and thought they were crazy cool :D

I am selling the other bars, someone said they looked like Bullet proof bars, they were pretty rusty but they are a lot better now

Post by: paulb113 on October 05, 2014, 12:51 PM: Would green gusset pimp tyres be too much green on the bike?

Thinking of putting the Cult Dehart tyres on my WTP Zodiac?

Post by: rodriguez on October 05, 2014, 02:00 PM: Well the green tyres wouldn't be my cup of char but if you like them go for it :daumenhoch:

What about a set of primo the wall?
Title: Re: Fishbone Kong Fu almost finished! Tyre choice?
Post by: Dannywhac on October 05, 2014, 02:56 PM: Yeah Rod - Walls would suit it. IMHO don't slap green tyres on it - it's not a 80's freestyler (no offence) :)
Title: Re: Fishbone Kong Fu almost finished! Tyre choice?
Post by: paulb113 on October 05, 2014, 06:03 PM: Think I will just keep the Cult tyres on it as they do look good on it, and order another pair for the WTP Zodiac

Post by: paulb113 on October 12, 2014, 10:12 PM: Think I may end up sticking it on Ebay :LolLolLolLol:

I cant get used to it and fancy getting a newer and lighter flatland bike
