New graphite tuffs.....

[pickle]

people who run them, how do they ride?  are they flexy at all?  normal NS tuffs seem to be miles more flexy than old alloy hubbed ones to me and i wondered if the graphites are a POS or would they be okay for riding?  and i mean riding in a park not just cruising along the sea front 

might get myself a set for my new beat to give it the Mat Hoffman look of 87 (the only thing that would look like Mat Hoffman when i'm riding it)

Ask Lenny lentini, he often runs a front graphite, (check the blackpool pics from Friday!)

Don't know whether he ever runs a pair though, might be a bit `normal' for him!!

a bit normal   

There was a guy running them on his Reflex at the last BR bash and he seemed to be doing okay on them, might give em a go for cruising and the odd sesh......i love my new 48's but street beats just need tuffs on really

I think it's Greame "Wadz" who runs them Rob - have a go on the 8th to see as I'm sure he'll be there jumping the jump-box with his fellow Doncastrian Jim "the big air" Oldtired.

yeah that was his name, if he's coming on the 8th i will ask for a go

Wadz is down for the boardroom on the 8th Rob   ,  they do seem a fair bit stiffer than normal tuffs , assume there a bit lighter as well as they seem to spin up a bit quicker, rotational weight and all that

I thought graphites were made more for racing than park riding, they look the part but dont think they'll handle too well with a 15 stone lump bouncing around on them

   i've a couple of pair and i've had no probs with them , i've put a set on my CW California Freestyler and i'll be using that hard ,

   Gaz you'll never have any probs with them as you only weigh 7 stone wet through

I haven't been 15 stone for years!

I had a go riding with a regular Tuff on the front for a while a few years back but the flex was a pain in the arse, i persevered for a few months but went back to spokes eventually

had a pair on my Assassin for a while Rob and found them a bit heavy but i was racing it

Andy, nothing could be heavier than my 48's mate    they are bomb proof!!
