MrSuave Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Right, OK, so yes i admit it, im am a bike tart/pervert I just want my bike to look its best (although it obviously gtes ridden hard )So my question is this; would my bike look better with a black rear tyre? i say yes, my mate says no. I fancy trying a maxxis high roller anyway but valuing you guys opinions as i do wanted to ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Think the red would/does look better. Other wise your bike will consist of like two different colours; grey/silver and black. (ignoring the front tyre )Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dean Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 I say bike looks best with red tyre! Infact, get one to match the front like I did. Nice bike anyway, what length is it and how does it ride? I'm looking at buying one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synergy Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 i say black on the back as the red on the sidewalls at the front looks good but too much red on back so chane it to black.also it would look better black as you have black handelbars n stem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice bike anyway, what length is it and how does it ride? I'm looking at buying one.Def dont want a hot s on the front, will be to OTT for my taste As for the bike, its 1080 long version with Pure forks and 110mm X 10* stem n Pazzaz bars. rides like a beauty, had to mess around with getting the front end righgt but now its lush. love it. Get one, there ace! really well built too IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayneone Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 I think it looks great as it does, i think red rim tape would make it look better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyoyo Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 I would say only get red on the back with a red on the front,and a black on the back with a black on the frontYou could always photoshop it to see which is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonCongreve Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 I would say either both red front and back, or both black.I'd personally go for both tires in black, with some red rim tape to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Cox Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 right tom, dont change a thing!! that bike looks lush to the maximum!, if you change it i will have to stab you in london on sunday lolBen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Bleech Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 get the black tires because the red one don't grip... but black tires look cooler though, red ones make it look cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nafan Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 I'm a bike perfectionist too I think black grips and black tires at both ends for you - Bling blings are good on the front and high roller super tacky on the back, like me My pitbull is nothing but Black and silver, looks great except my current red pedals (Scared to change them 'cos my threads are already knackered in my cranks) Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroMatt Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Get a tyre just like the front one or get a front one like the back one i hope you can make sense of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 id got for a maxxis minnion front 2.35 for the rear and black lock on grips odi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Put the hot S up front. Get a High Roller or whatever the top stock trials tyre is now. I'm not really liking the rear red tyre, sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Shaw Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 get the black tires because the red one don't grip... but black tires look cooler though, red ones make it look cheapExactly!! Maxxis 2.5 minion on the rear.. and a 2.35 high roller single ply up front Would make the bike look more classy i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrishayton Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Exactly!! Maxxis 2.5 minion on the rear.. and a 2.35 high roller single ply up front Would make the bike look more classy i think.try all on the front non of this maxxis crap ( although definatley use maxxis rear) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the judge Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 i agree with the maxxis on the rear, not the biggest fan of red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 get some new maxxis tyres minion rear high roller rear, i had hot shit tires on my vinco and they were crap, but i had a minion before and never had a puncture etc but on the hot shit it was nearly everyride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Definitely a black Maxxis, otherwise people like me will look at your bike and think: You would rather put looks above performance. If Hot S's weren't red, no trials riders would use them. They're just not good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're just not good!Erm.... well i've been using the hot S tyres for a while now and they grip great imo, id get a black one but they only come in 2.2 ....... saying this however, you will all be happy to know that i now have a Maxxis high roller 2.5 super tacky, rode it in london today at silly low pressure (20psi ish) rammed it into everything and not a hint of a pinch flat and they are sooooo soft, really hooks up well so im now officialy a fan of the Maxxis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
