-
good man russ. they're my favorite for racing too... very gripy on the start gate.
-
I use Holy Rollers too, but I have been thinking about a set of Schwalbs for my next bike.
-
I was put off the Intense tyres because someone told me they clog up with sh*t on damp or wet dirt tracks, and I've seen evidence of this. They're meant to be pretty good on tarmac or in the dry though. The Holy Roller seems a good all round compromise.
-
ivesy"s using intense micro knobbly"s as is my son and they"re as grippy as ken, i"ve ordered mine so i can dodge Bof when he traps his knackers behind his seat :LolLolLolLol:
-
my nephew has a 1 1/8th intense micronobbyjobby on his back wheel, he loves it.
I like holy rollers, maxx daddys and tyres like that. I'm going to try a CompX next time I need some new rubber.
-
Holy rollers for me to,
But I beleive schwabls are lighter, you know what they say about rolling weight.
Still with the amount of easter chocolate I've eaten the weighht of my tyres ain't the problem :-[
-
Rolling weight ???......been away from BMX for 20 years.....what is it......if its to do with your belly size then I've got good rolling weight :D
-
Yeah me too..
No they say that weight that rotates increases in weight the faster it spins, thats why a wheel feels heavier in your hand if you spin it.
Spend hundreds of pounds on carbon kit if you like but the best weight saving you can do is tyres and tubes, then wheels, then BB's and then go bling with the carbon.
-
So would these help with the rolling weight issue .........

:) How strong are those rims? Probably OK for nippers,but not sure for adults! My mate races track bikes at Manchester Velodrome,and he`s destroyed quite a few carbon wheels,some at £400+each......
-
Thats what I thought, could'nt imagine comming down hard on them rim's/spokes/hubs...... could be an expensive mistake !!!!
Don't think they will take my ample body !!!!!!
