Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - Just went from 25C to 32C tires. I highly recommend them!

CST Ciudad 700x32c are bulletproof. I was going through so many tires and tubes. Especially on my back tire since I do a lot of skidding. I've had these tires for 2 or 3 days and have done quite a bit of skidding and don't see any signs of wear on the tread yet. They make going over brick roads and seams way smoother. My bike feels way more stable. The tires add a little extra weight to your bike, but if you aren't too worried about weight and just skidz and tricks they are freakin' sweet! They have a reflective ring along the side which is a cool little bonus. I do tricks, skidz and commute with my fixie so it helps to have a beefier tire. I dig'em. :thumb:

He looks like Sébastien Tellier.

The size of the tire is not what's helping you with your "skids" it's the makeup of the tire. Vittoria Randonneurs in a size 28 would be just as good, if not better than the tire you are running for skidding. Also you might want to check your ratio on a skid patch calculator so you're not hitting the same one every time.

Learn to slow down without skidding, saves muscles and money.

I thought Eddie never stops.

I know the size of the tire isn't helping me with my skids. My skids are just as smooth...they just feel sexier man. My crank and cog are 46/16 so I'm pushing 77.62 inches and my gear ratio is 2.87. I don't skid to stop...I skid to skid. I have a front brake and mostly just slow down with my legs...or I put my left foot over my back tire if I'm hauling ass.

I rode with him the other day, he definitely stopped at a stop sign?

Jamez can skid the length of a local mexican food franchise. I seen it.

I have street cred.^

ah yes. 32c's, the answer to all life's problems.

Thank you cc700. I got the 32c's on a whim and I had just enough clearance. 28c's....pshhh...I need my tires like I need my condoms...

with the store being too far away and not feeling like buying condoms? I don't get your joke.

Ohhhhhhh I get it now.

how much "rubber" do you go through eh scott?;)

I put my left foot over my back tire if I'm hauling ass.
Congratulations. You've found the answer to everything. You're free to leave these forums.

I'm a newbie on the forum scaught...not on fixies.

That doesn't even make any sense Mr. Higher Ass.

Yeah dude. Eff people that discovered something on their own and being stoked about it. Bike riding is serious business.

Higher Class and Scaught prolly have more bike wrecks than posts.

Oh look...I'm no longer a Newbie. I'm a Junior Member. Now I can act like I know everything and can use my superiority to diss other people.

The irony of this post doesn't even warrant a response on my part, but I will respond just to inform you that I am grateful for providing me with my nightly dose of unintentional comedy.

How was Fest?

Tegan and Sara were great.

Why don't you give a dose of actual knowledge?

Nice. Did you see Mouthbreather? I love that band.

Why don't you give a dose of actual knowledge?
Tegan and Sara are identical twins from Calgary, Alberta that play guitar, keyboard, and sing, and write indy-pop songs. They are the best musicians thus far in the 21st century.

I'd like to know this as well.

Well that would be helpful if this were a Tegan and Sara forum.

I'd like to know this as well.

About your hating on james comments...not bands.

So Scott...you pumped about riding tomorrow? It's been awhile.

Nah dude. I just talk about riding my bike on internet forums and talking **** on people who just got into riding. It's what I do. I like to pretend I'm better than somone via the internet. Waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy better than actually riding.

Also posting pics. I do have gold rims and they will go well with the graffiti around town.

Lol

Just went from forum replies to private messages. I highly recommend them!

Private messages are bulletproof. I was going through so many forum posts . Especially on Bikeforums since I do a lot of cool stories. I've had my account for 2 or 3 days and have done quite a bit of PM'ing and don't see any signs of stopping yet. They make discussing private matters between myself and my friend that nobody else cares about way smoother. My life feels way more stable. The messages add a little extra sanity to the forums, but if you aren't too worried about getting made fun of and just skidz and tricks spam is freakin' sweet! PM's have a privacy setting which makes it so that other people can't read them which is a cool little bonus. I do tricks, skidz and commute with my fixie so it helps to have a jock strap. I dig'em.

Signing up to a community that shares a common interest? Bringing a local friend into the mix? I'm sorry we are breaking the bicycle rules of the internet. Sorry dude. I'll delete my account.

By the way...the only reason I was posting in my friends thread was because I wanted answers to your vague questions/comments, man. I'm not trying to be a dick but I'd like to know why you are being so patronizing. I'm technically a noob here, but I didn't sign up for 8th grade squabbling. I'd stand up for james irl and on the internet. Internet is serious business man, I'm sure you know that.

You're really dedicated to delivering complete balderdash.

So if I don't skid are 23's ok?

You can't, you're not allow to skid with anything other than 32. As 32 tires are the sexiest among all the other tires.

This thread blows...

refering to tire sizes are "sexy" is just wrong. And this thread does blow. I'm gonna go mount up some 32's so I can go do mad skidz and maybe some sick barspinzzzz too.

You guys should know, I can barspin all the way through the McDonalds drive through.

Videos to follow.

So a guy is pumped that likes something new about his bike and people take a dump on him... that's cool I guess?

To add some relevance to the thread, I personally feel going larger feels a lot better, despite it not being quite as "fast" as 23s. The first time I switched to 32s I thought the tires were going to pinch flat because of how comfy and "soft" they felt. If you got the space, go as large as you can, cuz what the guys on Rivendell (http://www.rivbike.com/article/components/tires) really makes sense once you feel the difference. Now it's a treat to ride on big tires...especially SUPAAAAA 50mm TIRES!! MMMWWWWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Your intention is appreciated but please don't try to "add some relevance" to this thread. There is none.

I hate relevance.

This whole thread is like a pm convo. Why didnt you close it scrod?
