KIRK Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 its the best bike to ride ever. if you hit a bump in the road it pops the front wheel. is soooo scary to ride with a 6 pack of beer hanging of one bar and bag of fish n chips off the other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Make it 3, I'll need one for my HMX too, lol The tyres you are after are comp 3 pattern gum/skinwalls, cant say I have seen any blue ones. Try Porkchop BMX for the blue tyres. My bro got some for his HMX last year. Were cheap too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIRK Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 yeh they easy to buy from overseas. problem with usa is the shipping. tends to cost more than the tyres. cheapest i've found is from a guy on ebay AU.About 25 au a pair. Problem with him is his price includes shipping in australia and he says no nz buyers. So i will get my friend to buy me some and post. Or there is a guy in torbay that is bringing over bulk lots of stuff from the ausi dude to sell on trademe and i can get tyres off him for approx 50. Just waiting for his shipment to arrive edit: theres no rush at the mo as i'm still saving up to buy spokes n nipples to build my blue rims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgySam Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Why didnt you tell me you had a bench vice to hold it all together! Would've prevented us using the rangi foot protector while you were welding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
