baladi Posted December 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 (edited) Apparently Hoffman Bikes thought the hubs were a good idea... Edited December 2, 2008 by baladi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Those hubs won't last on a powerful front disc brake. But as always I'm all for such experiments, good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 That bikes had some nice work done, but it seems daft to me to do all that drilling and then use Maxxis tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grant_hundley Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 (edited) Has it got a folding tire bead? If it has, I won't like it My rear rim is 38mm wide, so get tire roll pretty bad with lightweight tires with folding bead.

Ali C Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 hmm, mine is wire bead, but I beleive the production versions are kevlar however if it has the same sidewalls as mine, tyre fold WONT be a problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grant_hundley Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 I was close anyway Thought you might have had the same tire's Matt Burrows got from the bikeshow.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Because Maxxis are the best tires going...If you say so, personally the best combo I've tried is my front Try-All/rear Rubber Queen set. Tyre roll isn't an issue because I run my tyres really hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davetrials Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 (edited) Maxis tyres, you spend half ur life drilling this bike, to then go and put the heaviest tyres on it didnt seee the last few post's. and ur right maxxistyres are the best tyres, but if uve gone to so much effort trying to save weight...
