I would really say you should just upgrade your RIMS first, and there are a ton of rims available with most running right around 50 bucks each (front and rear = 100 bucks) The tough part is you then have to build the wheel, or pay a shop to do it. Building a wheel for the first time is scary and takes a long time. No less than about 8 hours the FIRST time you do it, plus you will probably need new spokes, which is why buying a decent complete wheelset is a good way to go. This looks like a good deal on eBay though: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...sPageName=WD1V Good bike parts are expensive, don't buy garbage just so you can 'upgrade'. Usually, cheap upgrades are much worse than just living with what you have until you can afford something decent. Any other opinions on inexpensive but decent wheel sets? i don't really like light bikes, but tripple walls are way to heavy. they aren't even strong. rhyno lites are racing rims if i am correct |
okay
the rims i have now arent going to last because i can bunnyhop higher(i had to stop because i missed the peddle and hit me on the shin so hard i could barly walk, for an hour. its still bleading :mad: ), now that i found out the right way to do it. the rims allways hit the ground!!!! currently i am running 35psi last time i checked(4-22-05). what psi should i be running? what rims should i get? |
You should be running NO LESS THAN 60 PSI in your tires! Get some decent tires if your current ones don't support higher pressure. The higher pressure will completely change the feel of your bike - it will feel much more solid.
I typically run 80-100PSI in my tires. No rim is designed to survive being landed on repeatedly, it is the tube and tire that protects it and buffers it. The rims job is to stay straight and keep the bike rolling. It supports the tube and tire, the tube and tire protect it. |
okay well the tire says to run 40 max psi!!! so should i pump it up to 60 psi? or should i get better tires and inertube? if so what kind? all the ones at like wallmart says 35psi max.
|
You should stop buying bike parts at Walmart, that's what you should do.
|
i only buy inner tubes there
|
just get a street tire. animal or primo would work
|
Get some new tires online. Lots of excellent choices available. I ride flat and use Primo Walls, but they are also popular for street/park riding. Plenty of room to go way above the listed pressure level with them as well.
If you are hitting your rim, go at least 10 pounds over the current tire rating and see if it holds/helps. Cheap Wal-Mart tubes are fine, I have used them for years and they are about the same as most shop tubes. No biggie there. You don't need new tubes for high pressure (HP), but you do need some decent tires. |
I recomend getting some Primo Walls. Can't go wrong with em.

You and your friend Matt don't do anything that appears to be even remotely hard on your bikes, though, judging by your website.
