More bikes than rides

I should've noticed the logo, but somehow the camo stopped me believing it was Restrap. Enjoy!

Can you still buy those?

https://m.bikester.co.uk/bike-parts/tyres-tubes/bmx-dirt-tyres/6482.html at a good discount price too.

If I could wear my current 26 x 2.35 Big Apples(?) out quicker I'd get a set.

Skid more.

I don't like wearing stuff out just for the sake of it. Hookworms were what I wanted when I built it but I couldn't find any. I kinda wanna throw some superfast slicks on it just to see what it's like and then go back to balloon tyres for winter.

Kojaks should be faster rolling than big As.
Hookworms are anything but fast. Ultimate grip comes with ultimate drag. I love the comfort tho.

When I say superfast slicks I mean like the old Vredestein S-Licks. Big Apples are slow as shit too, but that's why I built the bike, to slow me down on commutes.

Ah, I see what Kojaks look like. They do a (26 x 1.35) at 295g which would be rapid compared to the ~1kg a piece of the Big Apples.

All the strava koms are belong to you.

Ha! If I wanted those I'd be rollin' to work on my Shiv :)

You totally should! Just for comedy value. Make sure to put your gopros on.

Full skinny and sperm hat... overshoes...

Do it! You know you want to!

All retro bikes are gone. I realised that the smallest wheel size that I can comfortably ride is 27.5+. Yay to being a giant!
This is on the way now, to arrive in 2 to 3 weeks. Say hello to jaroon plus. 29+ "gravel" bike.
Mudguards, racks, and slicks.

maxxis grifter 29x2.5

maxxis grifter 29x2.5

I have some of those on my Ogre road wheels :-)

sweet bike
know of any 700x42 slicks? for my new commuter....can only find 700x38 or 700x45 and above

Not offhand. The Maxxis Refuse 700x40 looked promising, but seem to measure closer to 38mm.

I'm totally not buying a bike for my tyres. Not at all.

Maxxis Roamer 700x42

Edit - no tubeless or folding option that I can see.

Rim ID? My 38 g one come up as 42 on i23.

hmm, thanks guys.
will be on a rim brake 700C tubeless rim, currently looking at the kinlin xr22t unless you know something wiiiiiider which would be nice

Wtb dual duty if they still make them? It's been a while since I've done rim brake 29ers.
