Just got my raw Street beat frame from the US looking for something a bit different other than Tuff 2's for the wheels... seen these on E Bay and was wondering if anyone had any dealings with the wheels? Bike aint be thrashed so not overly worried about the strength? Really just gonna be used from cruising the streets, may pop an endo now and then but that will be about it.

I ran Sumo's on my beat mate and they were as sweet as mate! i'm nearly 16 stone and pulled a few kickturns and small airial type thingies and the wheels were fine.....even ran round MK with em last year as well......they may be cheaper than arayas but they're just as strong.
what colour are you doing the beat mate?
-
i like those they look sweet, go for em :daumenhoch:
and dont forget pics when your done :knuppel2:

I am thinking of doing it kinda low key white, white EZ bars with blue anodized bits and bobs, renthal layback etc, but as I think about it I dont really know so many colours out there...deffo gonna get me some sumo's then build the bike around the wheels I think... also thinking of doing it black and gold but I tend to think of racing bikes(rippers) look better with this treatment...and what bars would go with that?
Could go complete 80's freestyle and just go nuts with the pastel colours I reckon I am big enough to carry this off even in brighton.

I will post some pics as and when I finally get it done....
Anyone else wanna give me suggestions feel free....
-
the black and gold sounds great! never seen a beat in those colours........but i'm sure whatever colour you do it in mate you'll love how it rides.....i love mine! :smitten:

Someone else from Brighton. Excellent.
if you're going with the black / gold look then you may be interested in these Black EZ Bars on Ebay (not mine)

There are quite a few of us from Brighton on RAD well I know of at least five others, a couple of younger guys and me and a few mates that remember the old school and try to keep real by occasionly pulling a wheely or something equally as daring...cheers for the heads up on the EZ bars but I have gone with the white beat with blue bits and just ordered a shed load of blue stuff...better that way or I could be faffing about the colour scheme for the rest of the year.
So if you see some confused oldster on a really nice white skyway 85 street beat pootling about gives us a shout....

We should organise a cruise along the seafront at some point. Loads of old school bikes would like great. Get some pics for here too.
Although I would leave it to someone else to organise. By my own admission, I can't organise a piss-up in a brewery. :crazy2:
