how did the trails go stevie   

[muttley]

I've got a folding tyre on it... I'm gunna die.

i dont know if ya brave or just a loon mate, fair play   

[darkersomeday]

i like it!
vic murphy style,
funky

you might actually be better WITH the folding bead tyres as the kevlar will give less than a regular steel wire bead,

i ran one that i found in a river on my STA years back, the tyre never popped off the rim but it F-L-E-X-E-D bigstyle

[Steve Shindig]

Cheers for advice, tomorrow will tell I guess, I'll pack my old wheel just incase. Haha

I really REALLY hope it works cos I love it.

[muttley]

Really loving the look big style, wonder how it would go with a cheng shin knobby  Now all i got to do is find a front......

[Steve Shindig]

I just spent about 5 mins outside my house trying to get this tyre off the rim using my feet, wedging it against curbs, sliders etc...  but it seems pretty solid!  Maybe we're onto something with folding tyres and mags?  exciting stuff!

[pickle]

looking forward to seeing this in the flesh tomorrow 

[oberonspacefruit]

me too.

it says on a comp 3


"85 psi/ steel wheels 45 / plastic wheels"

I seem to remember seeing something about running higher pressures on the docs that came with my new graffs.

According to Coloredtuffs.com  "Skyway's new Graphites are molded from a proprietary blend of long-strand CARBON FIBER and ZYTEL NYLON (Same way they were made years ago!). This blend produces a wheel far stiffer than any composite wheel on the market. These wheels put the power to the ground yet take the abuse of hard landings without having to true your spokes after every ride. This strength and stiffness also allow the use of higher tire pressures than possible with previous composite wheels."

Never had a problem with it myself,  60psi was fine.  Had to stop using the tuff when I bailed and bent the fork (new one didn't have enough clearance to allow for the flex).

Do it dude.... Modern forks seem to have tons of room for fat tyres, so the flex issue isn't really a prob...  and once we test if this folding tyre is the secret to success, we'll be laughin!  They are not overly heavy either.
