Tioga Comp lll for trails.

Tioga Comp lll for trails.

Or Odyssey Tires.

If they were crap, or even a little crappy, I would surely say so. The Joe Dirt's close lug spacing is what makes it so good on street. It's thick sidewalls are pretty thick too.

I was looking into the Ody mixture too...until I saw the tread depth. The trails I ride are mostly packed, but the occasional sandy areas make it a fun challenge. IMO, no bicycle tires are that great in loose sandy soil.

I miss the Comp IV's!

The 70-210 is a Sigma. Most people (as in, my clients) can't tell the difference between a print from a Canon lens, and one from an aftermarket lens. Just make it sharp and properly exposed. Oh, you'll have to trust me that it's easier to shoot a football or baseball player from 30 yards+ with a big lens than it is to shoot your BMX buddies up close.

I really like Maxxis tires. Hookworms are supposed to be really sticky on the street, but heavy. Go to your LBS, and look through their catalog. Most shops can order all sorts of cool stuff that they don't stock regularly.

There's a 400mm for my Dig Rebal in my future. But I haven't done much research yet. Seems to be a lot of junk on the market.

And ftr tyres, grips and the like are a purely personal choice, bretty much the only thing you can ask and get a reasonable answer on is "how long will they last?". If you're not grinding then stay away from Paths and the like, they're uneccessary.

What happend to them?

I dont know much about Tioga, but one thing i do know is that i ordered a Comp ll that claimed to be 20x2.125 and a Primo V-Monster tire that claimed to be 20x2.10 and the Primo is bigger...

I like them both, but now my bike looks goofy, but both tires are good...

Im just waiting for those Odyssey Aitken tires to come out...

I dunno???

Why do you miss them then?
Ha

They were awesome on trails.

Yeah, i just looked through a Dans Comp and i dont see 'em i only see the Comp lll and Comp X, along with a beast looking Factory MX, and FS100

The MX would be great for an off-road only bike.

Its beast, i think even more burly that that Maxxis Max Daddy i had in 2.225" (it was bigger than those Ruben tires)

(the edit button didnt work, so i really meant to say 20x 2.25 on that Maxxis tire, my bad)

Took me a while to figure out what a "Dig Rebal" was. So glad your wife is the one home-schooling your kid. Just get one of those 2 lens Sigma kits that are so cheap on ebay. Although if it's anything but wildlife, you're likely to get poor results.

How do you know his wife home schools his kid?

Thats weird, i just started homeschooling myself, but its just for the rest of this year...

Weird.

I hope you work on your "speeling".

Haha, oops again...

Maybe the forum people should incorporate Microsoft Word spell check and correction technology into their post boxes...

Like that? ^

What is that pointing to? Because my forum thing is set up so the new posts are first...

I've been going in and editing your posts.

They're Shore 70a hardness. Joe Dirts are 60a (softer).

If only the Hookworms were available in a 2.125 or 2.25...

Darin, the Tamron 28-75mm 2.8 lens is awesome. It's a constant 2.8 aperture, and it's great optically. I would say at least as good as the 50mm 1.8 prime, and it's a zoom. Not as fast for low light and a bit bulkier, but it rarely leaves my camera. Should be able to get one for about $400, which is a lot less than the Canon 24-70L equivelant (you get better build quality and _maybe_ slightly better image quality with the Canon)

1200mm f5.6. You used to have to write Canon a check for $79,000.00, then wait a year while they cool the glass.
