LIGHTEN UP YOUR BIKE-PART 8
OK WELL NO ONE REALLY KNOWS THAT CERTAIN TIRES ARE LIGHTER THAN OTHERS AND YOU WOULD BE REALLY SURPRISED THAT TIRES CAN BE A FULL POUND LIGHTER THAN OTHERS AND HERE IS AN IDEA OF THE TIRES AND THE LIGHTEST SETUP
ACS DEESTONES-2.10 A FULL POUND LIGHTER THAN PRIMO WALLS AND IF YOU PUT THOSE ON THE BACK AND HAVE WALLS ON THE FRONT THEN YOUR HAVE A REAL LIGHT BACK ENDS AND MORE SO THAN HAVING HOFFMAN SKIDMARKS,PRIMO WALLS,ODYSSEY BERMUDAS OR IRC FLATLANDERS AND THE IRC FLATLANDERS ARE THE SECOND LIGHTEST TIRE BEHIND THE ACS DEESTONES. IF ACS WASNT SUCH IDIOTS AND WERE MAKING THE ACS RL EDGES THEN THOSE WERE THE LIGHTEST AND THEN COMES THE DEESTONES AND THEN IRC FLATLANDERS. REMEMBER AGAIN TIRES YOU MIGHT NOT THINK MAKE A DIFFERENCE BUT A FULL POUND IN THE BACK DOES MAKE A DIFFERNCE AS THE BACK WHEEL IS THE HEAVEST PART OF YOUR BIKE IF YOU ARE DOING EVERYTHING TO LIGHTEN UP YOUR BIKE AND EVERY POUND COUNTS.
OK FOR THE BACK WHEEL YOU WANT THE DEESTONES($15.00 EACH) AS YOUR FIRST CHOICE WHICH COMES IN 2.00 AND THEN THE IRC FLATLANDERS($11.00 EACH) WHICH COMES IN 1.95 AND THE ONLY CHOICE FOR THE FRONT WHEEL WOULD BE THE PRIMO WALLS($16.00 EACH) AND THEY COME IN 1.85 AND 2.10 AS THEY GRIP AND YOU ALREADY HAVE A SUPER LIGHT FRONT END AND A LITTLE WEIGHT MIGHT MAKE IT BETTER AS A TOO LIGHT OF A FRONT ENDS WILL CAUSE TROUBLE. SOME ALSO LIKE THE SCHWINN/XS HUCKER TIRE($25.00 EACH) WHICH COMES IN 1.95 ON THE BACK AND ALOT OF THE PROS HAVE BEEN SEEN USING IT AND THAT AGAIN IS A GOOD TIRE BUT NOT AS LIGHT AS THE DEESTONE AND IT IS A BIT PRICEY TOO.. NO ONE HAS MADE A TIRE THAT LAST MORE THAN THREE WEEKS THAT A RIDER CAN RIDE EVERYDAY AND IT LAST OVER THREE WEEKS AND THEY HAVENT COPME OUT WITH A TIRES ALSO THAT IS LIGHT AND UNTIL THEY DO THEN THIS IS WHAT WE MUST USE IS WHAT IS AVAILABLE.
