Danny Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 IRC tires with blue sidewalls caleb? Not that ive ever seen ^_^ I think your mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Nokian also did some ^_^ I seem to remember Dave Dennis using 'em? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 I think some of the Cannondale downhill riders once has blue side-walled Kujo's didn't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watson© Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 The guy from Holland on this with the Base TA26 has blue sidewall tyres, so you can get them :P :P Can't remember his name though ^_^ Watson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 The guy from Holland on this with the Base TA26 has blue sidewall tyres, so you can get them :D :P Can't remember his name though ^_^ ← Endo Hopper :P Don't think you can get Schwalbe tyres any more though? So I think the options are Panaracer Fire XC/FR/DH. Maybe some others. Don't be a fag :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo13 Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Schwalbe tyers are crap! they stretch way to easy, i would never buy another pair! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Drewery Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 I disagree, i had a schwalbe space 2.5 on the rear once and it was a good tyre, never pinched, tons of grip and a nice profile (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 (edited) They are ircs on that base though aint they?, look like the same design and tread pattern (Y) Edited May 19, 2005 by Caleb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 But isn't that picture photoshopped? What with the DMR guide looking weird and all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Nah i think its just a bad photo, he has them on his base in the picture of it with no seat tube aswell (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Nichols Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Am I being daft Mark? I can't actually see any DMR chain guide there? (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endohopper Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Oooh , I find my bike has hijacked this thread (Y) , cool ! Yeah , the tyres are Schwalbe SPACE , I believe team M.A.D used to run them . Not sure if that's any major recommendation , but I love 'em , great pinch protection , match my colour scheme and super grip . Unfortunately , they are no longer available with blue sidewalls . DMR guard / guide ? nope , just a Tiagra mech , folks . The photo is simply poor quality , not shopped in any way . I bought 3 pairs ( ! ) of these tyres when I heard the supplier was running out , so I'll be running these for the next few years , I expect .

Endohopper Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Oh yeah , duh ! Forgot my own bike's specs there :"> . Don't actually see why I use the dammned thing 'cos my chain is unhealthily tight anyway , the only purpose the guard serves is additional blue and whitage ! I'm pretty curious to see what an entirely blue and white themed trials bike would look like , I'll be watching Bonney@X-Street's progress with interest .

Mark W Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 There is a guy on here who had a purely white and blue Echo, I think? Called "Nophee" or something like that now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
