I just got a Fishbone Kong Fu flatland bmx but not keen on the tyres, whats a decent cheap set of tyres? also what is a decent seatclamp? been told its a 2001 would it still be old school size, or new school or something different? Thanks

Primo V-monsters for ramps or Dirt-monsters for street / racing are still my weapon of choice Paul and came in skinwall as well as blackwall. They're still available if you look as they were re-popped about 3 or 4 years ago so should also be sensible wedge

I have the Primo ones on my new school and like them.Seen Cult Dehart tyres on offer in 2.1 think they would fit?

great tyres, i'm running the 2.25's on my united, Ed has a 2.1 rear and a 2.25 up front on his Subrosa,

hopefully they won't hinder your riding like they seem to
ours!!!

I ordered 2.1 for front and back as I didn't think 2.25 would fit with potts mod front brake, its got 1.95 ones on at the moment but all rubber is split, for that price I can always order another and have a spare but its only going to be used for playing about trying to learn flatland tricks

i have the cult dehart tyres too, great tyres but they are actually bigger than stated. i got the 20x2.1 and had a problem on front and back brakes, they measure 20.5x2.25 when inflated. i had to cut a slot on the back of my forks so the cable would miss the tyre and the rear tyre hit the brake on my s&m laf frame. i ended up changing the frame back to my mcneil loden frame and all fits fine.
