Amber Walls

[slinky182]

I was wondering if there were enough of us now that would be interested getting some amber wall tyres made, Smoke/Dart ect. Surely there must be enough people now for it to be woth while? Maybe we could do a sign up to see what interest it gets

do a search, theres a shop selling brand new fire xc pro amber walls for realistic price.
firstflightbikes in the US have already successfully remade timbuk11 tyres.

Jeff at Firstflight has done it and it is really expensive , not worth it .

I think Smoke/Darts would be a better tyre for most peoples bikes. The Timbuks were too early

Smoke & Dart amberwall kevlar beaded tyres were avilable on Ebay a few days back....

Bit pricey IMHO.

Why did amber walls disappear?They always looked the nuts on black annodised rims

they tended to dry out a lot faster, they got dirty fast, blackwalls seem less prone to ripping in my experience.

OK,they still looked cooler though

I agree, on some bikes they look miles better.
