It just had to happen, what with Ano making a come back :LOL:

So who makes them? They look a little like the old Tioga factory type tread pattern.

interesting, odyssey reintroduced a tanwall tyre for BMX a few months back. Not 'proper' skinwalls as they reckon they don't hold up as well.

I believe they are original Panracers

Nice bike.....19.5lb and self lubricating Ti chain, wheels are different (and expensive)

Scant asked the same on the STW thread - Panaracer Spikes.

The mud tyre?

yup. nick from charge reckons he can persuade panaracer to make amber walls again.. still waiting to hear back. realistically the potential sales would be tiny.

you would be surprised.

Kenda is also making a skinwall with retro patern in a 26x1.95...they made if for a retro bmx for 2009.

Looks like corporations are seeing the VRC market and looking to capitalize...it was only a matter of time, and will probably be a short lived trend...especially when they don't see as well as the real vrc stuff.

imo, it's good for riders...save the real vrc tires for garage queens ;)
 
Crank Bros

In the true tradition of MTB form over function, the Crank Bro wheels are designed to last just one ride then self destruct Errr, that'll be the same as their pedals headsets and Seatposts then!
Their philosophy seems to be to design change for changes sake into products that have naturally evolved for the better. To solve a problem that never existed in the first place! To say their stuff is poor, is being kind to them!!!!
