I was considering a set of the new ODYSSEY FREQEUNCY G tyres for my rider,main reason is they come in 1.75 with a tan wall!I was wondering if anyone has any they have ridden on and what feedback they have?

i,ve got a set on my flatland bike although not tanwalls, might be a bit skinny for ramp but great for flat.

I've used the 1.85's, great tyre & actually work well all round, narrow even for the size though I thought.

weird... I've just spotted these too! ... I just missed out on a pair of these on ebay for £30 so decided I should invest ... best price I got was from Brighton BMX

I'm running 1.95 Primo VMonsters but they just look too darn big on my 91 Sport so I actually went for 1.75s as I thought they would be more like the original Haro tyres... will send you some pics when I get them on

I think they look wicked

concerned about my choice now

They're pretty skinny. The design is a modern version of the old 80's ACS RL Edge tyre, so they look the part on older rides if nothing else!

I paid £19.99 each for 1.75s with no postage but missed a pair on ebay for £30

Ed, I don't know if these picture's are much help, I just stuck a new 1.85 Frequency G on a rim & put it beside a new 1.95 Vmonster, both pumped up to 60 psi, the FreqG is about 46mm wide & the Primo is 50mm, so expect the 1.75 to be a few mm narrower.

gary4130 · « **Reply #9 on:** February 08, 2012, 01:27 PM »

cheers ed .saw those on ebay myself was going to bid but wasnt going over £25 for a slightly used pair

ED209 · « **Reply #10 on:** February 08, 2012, 01:34 PM »

Ahh you star!

Yep - I think they will be perfect for my old eyes... fookin motorbike tyres just put me off

Thanks for that

Looking at those pics I'm a bit worried again... those tyres look a bit religious with all the crucifixes on

I'll just have to pretend they are all upside down

actually the ones in the pic I posted have an offset top compared to your ones ... bit of a different design

( soz for hijacking your thread by the way Deeman )

ED209 · « **Reply #12 on:** February 08, 2012, 01:39 PM »

Brighton's ones are sold out now

look quite good them Ed

logo's lined up nicely with the valve

should have one of em a little bit offset just enough to be noticeable , winds griff up no end

bobbbbsy · « **Reply #22 on:** February 13, 2012, 11:27 PM »

ed ever considered you have too much time on your hands to spend thinking about tyres ?

Betty · « **Reply #23 on:** February 13, 2012, 11:52 PM »

How many of you line up the tyre logos with the valve?

It's something i've never even given a thought to...

oldtired · « **Reply #24 on:** February 14, 2012, 12:16 AM »

you will now , be stood looking at your ride and notice the logo's off a bit , you'll think nothing of it at the time but then it will start winking at you,

then the little voice will start chanting "line me up with the valve"
