Usually a few around if you have a look Rim is a try-All Holes with circular holes, as far as i know pretty similar to standard Try-Alls. Offset seems very good, i know a few people had issues with the H hubs on standard rims as the spokes seemed to undo themselves. no such problems here.No idea on weight, probably light-ish or something.that thing has to be light now!! i really like the yaabaa's. Nice geometry on it too.im still not convinced on these continentals. What are they like for punctures? I know alot of folk seem to be running higher pressures than usual!?The Rain King is a pre production tyre, same deal as Ali's Kaiser. As far as i'm aware its the only one in use for trials at the moment.The sidewalls are nuts, completely different to the Rubber Queen you're probably thinking about. Not worried about punctures AT ALL, loads stiffer than Maxxis Dual Ply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookyboy Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 that tyre looks the nuts, side walls are ridiculous as is the compund, seemed to be workin well yesterday. might have to invest myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Up until about 30 seconds before this photo was taken I was running a black old school try-all crank thats 5mm shorter than the non driveside crank that I nicked off Porter.

N.Wood Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 I like them, similar to the old Koxx browns but with more bite and a little less hold. My favorite pads at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Just a little update on this, still love the bike, the H hub on the front didn't agree with me so has been replaced with a Rockman BUB, and theres a few alloy bolts here and there.The Rain King has barely worn, even after a few rides on Dartmoor granite. Best tyre ever, you should get one when they come out (available at Tartybikes). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Arnold Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 what snail cams are you using and how do they fair? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 The standard Try-All notched (on Tarty they say CNC ones, but they're not), running the bolts with the head on the outside meant there wasn't enough adjustment to get them tight once the chain stretched, so I put a little nut on the end of the bolt to give it extra width, works perfectly now.You could also flip the bolt so it screws from the inside, but then its a bit of a pain to get to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
