listen, as I have said, they will be up to the job for 90% of people who own them, great for cruising around on
Personally, I dont think they look good and know from experience that they are not up to anything more than that video shows, small, straight impacts at slow speed (and even then I wouldn't trust em, or the dropouts at the rear of those frames), they are laughably flexy when you pedal hard, the laughter alone makes it hard to ride them at pace and once they buckle, which they will, you are fooked as you will be using a V-Brake on those frames (much less pad clearance from the rim).

Do I like to be different....I am fookin different to most people, its what keeps me going

There you go, a simple explanation goes a long way to helping people understand what youre on about rather than a

On the 24" Tuff wheels issue,i have been behind Diggler on a track when he raced on some 20" tuffs,was like following a drunken octopus

The "rims" of the tuffs were scraping on the berm

,god knows what 24" ones would have been like

Of course, they will be ok for what most will use em for

I may pester you for a ride of the CW though, promise i wont tell your parents ..
Bloody hell Jim!! Do you speak hindi!!

You can only come on the ride if you have a Cruiser like us really cook kids and you haven't so clear off you knob.
You can ride Steves 20" instead, I've heard you like that.

Is this ok.. Mug punter

i was just under him as he went round prestons 1st berm and his front wheel, literally like you say, was riding on the wall of the tyre, was a warm fookin day n he just left his bike in the full heat of the sun, was scary as fook coz i was sure they would either snap or snap back he fling him towards me, would be a brave man or a nugget to race 24" tuffs on a warm summers day
