Joel Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 I am guessing those are the ruben tires? They look lush. How do they ride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Rubben tyres wear quick if you like skids and sliders. Otherwise they last quite a long time.Puncture resitant but not pinch proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARSE! Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 quick question for you bmx lot (probably the wrong place to put it but.....meh)which one?hoffmanfitWTPprobably had this question asked 1000's of times (sorry), im thinkin the WTP, just looking for a better opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 I've looked at a few places for some bikes for you. If your heart is set on one of those i would go for the Hoffman bikes model. Then possibly the WTP which isn't all that bad and then last the Fit.While looking at some bikes i found this one. I recon this would be alot nicer and would last longer than the others. They all have their ups and downs but i recon this DK has won me for sure.Dk dayton 2007 (link here)See what you think. After looking through numerous bikes i can't be bothered to explain the ups and downs of the ones you chose. But that Dk is damn sweet with its setup.See what others think.

RicH_87 Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 cos they are unreliable and hard to contact when something goes wrong (purley my opinion).i'm sure they do get some orders right, but mine and my mates orders have always been skrewed up. I say order from alansbmx, they are much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimo Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Winstanleys suck full stop. I can happily say that as i know 99% people will agree so i can say this without causing havuck in this thread.You like to buy from Tartybikes, yes? The money also goes to back into riding which is great. Some other cool places.Cyclone AlansCustom Riders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A!! Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 I have changed bits on my bike recently so here it is Now has: No front brake (i did try brakeless and i have to admit there is something satisfying about having no levers on the bars, or not banging your hands when you barspin) Ruben Alcantara grips which i really like, they feel nice and soft but they haven't started to flake or rip yet Perv 30tooth chainring Odyssey mono lever Federal team bars I was thinking abut a new wheel set, but decided not to as it would make more sense to start saving up for a new frame later on.

poopipe Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Whats that on your bolt?looks like a mini peg - so pegless people don't destroy their axle threads when doing tricks that should be done on pegs. Superstar make them - not sure if anyone else does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spangler Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 It's a spare cone washer that stops me from putting a flat spot in my axle like i did before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimo Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Looks alright maybe a bit of the weighty side. How much you get it for is the question..? Then it'll be easier to give you a score.I cant really tell what wheels they are. Maybe a Alex Supra E on the back on a unsealed hub as it's 18t freewheel?

Sorry, don't know about the freewheel, i'll take a look when i get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defo a good buy for that amount. Scores 10 for price. But proberly not worth upgrading too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But proberly not worth upgrading too much.Why you say not worth upgrading much? The frame does seem a it much, so once ive got the money i might buy another to test the difference in weight.

eskimo Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Why you say not worth upgrading much? The frame does seem a it much, so once ive got the money i might buy another to test the difference in weight.Just my personal preference. I tend to use my frames until there dead. I rode my Macneil Ruben for 4 years before upgrading.Whatever you choose do is up to you. If you like it why change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
