dirt jumper jake Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 (edited) yeah, changed some stuff about on the pure.... weighed it and its 8.2kg with a relatively heavy front end, Would be nice if the urbans i ordered from select bikes turned up though... so then i can order my new bars Rear tyre is a Tioga Factory DH. pisses all over a Stiky & it felt alot lighter too. bargain for £18...

Bigman Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Tioga Factory DH, not seen one of them on a trials bike in years, mostly because they are one of the worst tyres ever! barely any grip in the dry and actualy like ice when its wet! Other than that the bike looks very smart! Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam I think there pretty good, but ive only tried it at low pressure really. seems to do well on rocks and concrete stuff, Not sure if i would trust it on rail.

ghostrider88 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 They are heavy,have weak sidewalls and pretty bad compound...Everything you don´t want from trials tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 As a young rider you probably won't remember how many trials related injuries people sustained from Tioga Factory downhill tyres following Bike '99! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Products get developed over time... they wouldnt still be in production if there so crap. there probably a way softer compound to what they were, cos it was sticking to rocks fairly well this afternoon...

This may possibly be true, but I doubt it. The write up on Tiogas website states they're the standard rubber compound, not any of their softer compounds they use in other DH tyres. Oh yeah and it's £18. Don't take this as a criticism though, if it's working for you then fair play for bagging a bargain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah thats what i was getting at, cant really beat it for £18, & im guessing it would be 60a, which isnt so bad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
