Muel Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 I got my Simtra through the post today, and just thought I'd stick my back wheel in too see what it looked like with orange rims. (Wank, they're getting stripped back to silver).Turns out my tyre is too big, so I need a new one. I have a 47mm rim, what will fit?Looking to keep the weight down as much as I can if possible, but cost is more important, cheap as possible please!Oh and single ply, can't stand dual ply tyres.Cheers!

forteh Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 One of the kenda nevegals in 2.35? Nafiewafie raves about them, might be worth a shot, otherwise swap a larsenTT for your rubber queen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigman Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Tarty have 2.5 maxxis highrollers in single ply and super tacky, could be worth a go Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nafiewafie raves about them, might be worth a shot, otherwise swap a larsenTT for your rubber queen? Nah Larsons a bit too slick for my liking i'm afraid Ed, I'll be up for selling the rubber queen though?I'll have a look for them, hopefully they'll be nice and cheap.Tarty have 2.5 maxxis highrollers in single ply and super tacky, could be worth a go AdamBit expensive to be honest Adam, but I have noticed they have single ply minions in a 2.35 tread. Think I'll just get one of them seeing as they're £15 at the moment.Would one of those Kendas fit though? the 2.35 single ply version is very light indeed, but the dual ply version is very heavy indeed, so I don't know which would be best?

cai Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Maxxis Hi Roller Single Ply in 2.50 is expensive at £40 - but in the drop down menu the 2.35's are only £20.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Meh, the Minion is £15 and I prefer minions anyway.Just a shame that the front tread one isn't in stock because I'd rather have one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Why are you trying to make a Simtra light? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Why are you trying to make a Simtra light? Good point, youve gone from a skinny little kot to a tank of a simtra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 (edited) I'm not trying to make it very light, just keep the rotational weight down!Also, I'm not a weak old man so I don't need a bike that weighs less than 10kg. My kot was actually just under 10kg, this will be about 10.5kg if I get a rear tyre the same weight as the rubber queen.(+ about 300g for the frame and 200g for some decent forks).EDIT: Ed, you want this rubber queen or nay? Just wondering whether to make a topic. Edited July 24, 2009 by Muel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
