Hi

Is it possible to get new high pressure tyres with an old school look? Maybe 80 to 100 psi? Don't want the big all black ones

Thanks

Give them a shout Paul

I bought the white 1.75's which unfortunately they only had one left.....found that out when I ordered a pair and only one arrived lol. But they did have some black/skinwall ones though at that time so you might be lucky.....they were £20 too with them

Paul - just checking you are running spokes and not Tuffs? The high pressure stuff will pop off Tuffs first flex that's all mate.

I run midschool Primo V-Monsters at 65-70 psi and they grip timber on the edges like sh@t to a blanket. Lots of choice out there with a skinwall on so you can mix up the tech - i'd never ride oldschool tech tyres for sure..... (got a fractured skull from doing exactly that 5yrs ago.....)

I got the frequency G tyres from Winstanleys I looked at the other ones but I liked these more

and I don't think I will be going on ranps being 43, 14 stone and a dodgy knee

Just using bike for the rides this year and trying some old school tricks, nothing too extreme

They look cool Paul!! Nice one mate

paulb113 · « **Reply #16 on:** February 26, 2013, 05:33 PM »

Yes they still look old school

pity my footpump cant pump them up enough

GavinDavis · « **Reply #17 on:** February 26, 2013, 05:35 PM »

lol....How much did you pay in the end?

oldschoolace · « **Reply #18 on:** February 26, 2013, 05:37 PM »

Look great them Paul

Period feel with modern spec

Hoping my white ones will be here tomorrow

paulb113 · « **Reply #19 on:** February 26, 2013, 06:03 PM »

46 ish for the pair, but if the wife asks I had to only put a few quid towards them

partially true did get 20 quid yesterday and selling some old 80s bmx magazines on Ebay this week so may change grips etc

Good mix of old school looks and should stand up to my weight gain

get them pumped up fully tomorrow and take them for a spin if I don't injure myself on my other mid life crisis as its time to get the Bauer turbos out for over 18s roller skating!
