Title: old rubber
Post by: 58 delray on November 12, 2014, 09:28 AM
been a few debates on here lately about repops, releases, NRP parts
well heres a good reason not to use og tyres and use re-releases instead, at least on riders anyway

Nah that was the other comp pool - Dal's loaned tyre was still ok
I'm starting to wonder if they were actually comp pools at all, or just straw tubes with chocolate eclair icing on them

Already been said about old-school skidding Andy, but no way do I ride any tyres older than Rainbows, which I would add are post '93 so technically mid-school but don't get THAT old arguement started :2funny:

Love the fact the tyre's still holding air :shocked:
