rear tyre size?
« on: November 19, 2008, 12:52 AM »
what size rear tyre is right for racing?  I cant remember   :idiot2:  Is it 1.75
Im thinking about getting a Maxxis Hoodlum Tyre  Size 20x1.85 for the rear http://www.alansbmx.com/product_info.php?products_id=3626{4}130 to go with a tioga comp3 in 2.125 front as I cant find a rear tioga.   Unsure what to chose between the Maxxis, the Kenda Small Block Eight Tyre and Holy Roller?   Advice welcomed

I am now using a 1.75 Intense Micro Knobbly on the rear and a 1.95 Holy Roller on the front.

I use Swalbe Mow Joe 1.8 Rear and 2.0 Front!!

Its faster than a rear 1.75 by 0.05.

On Sunday started to learn two footed balancing (I haven't tried it on a Start Gate yet!!)  :-\

I now have a Black rubber mark on my smooth living room wall that I've been balancing against!!  :shocked:

It is now dialled even on slightly off horizontal (by about 2 cm)!!

Sitting down, Standing up.  Up, Down, Up Down,  One handed, Rotating my cranks etc, etc!!  :shocked:

Piece of cake.

Whether I can do it in race conditions with Wind, Rain, 2 blokes next to me and the adrenaline pumping.....................
