As usual, you peeps are a great resource for me while I build this new bike.

I will. I have plenty of time to mull this one over, as I do not have my 5303 motor yet. I'll be ordering that in about a week.
So far, I like those big apples. They look tough, and fast. I also like the hookworms, they look like they would get incredible traction. However, I'm not sure they would fit on my frame. I have 2.35" wide tires on there now and they are a tight fit. It would be close.
Tires are important. They are the only thing on the bike that meets the ground. Two little spots on the ground, each the size of an iPod nano. That's all the contact and control you get.
Speaking of iPods, I'll grab my iPod and make a short video real fast. Let's see if you think these 2.5" wide Hookworms will fit. =P
Give me a few minutes. My ADSL uploads slowly to YouTube.
