Zordon Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 I have a little problem with my setup. I'm running rear Creepy Crawler tyre on my Gu with vee-adaptors, v-brakes and lizard booster. The brake setup is perfect for me and I wouldn't like to change it. Unfortunately, the tyre, although quite worn, is rubbing against the booster even with large amount of spacers beneath the booster and the vee-adaptors moved upward to the limits.So basically I'm after some smaller tyre so it won't rub. Preferably not heavier than CCs. From what I have read and seen, old Echos with white stripes (2005?) and Montys with yellow stripes (2004) were both smaller and lighter than CCs. Can I find them somewhere anymore?What other tyres are smaller than CCs and aviable to buy? Try-alls seem smaller but they're heavy.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 What about the Onza adaptors for wide rims, plus the V adaptors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zordon Posted October 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 never heard about those onza ones, where can I find info on them (used search)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Elding Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 My new style echo tyre is definately thinner than my old CC was, and the tread is a lot more compact aswell. Maybe run boosterless? my GUs fairly stiff without a booster... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deonn h Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 This Dont get the lined monty one its quite wide and it bulges off the rim after a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zordon Posted October 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 maybe I'll give it a try for the next season if it's really thinner.I can't afford to run boosterless as I love to have rock solid lever feel and additionaly a vee adaptor creates an extra leverage so the frame flexes a bit more.

joe b Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 As far as i'm aware, the width of your Creepy Crawlers (2.5") is the thinnest you will get any trials tyres .Cheers,Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
