If you never want to have a flat ever again, get Animals.

Dear WTP,

How does it feel to have such a nice bike, but brutally **** it with the presence of those tires?

wethepeople 05-14-08 06:04 PM

Feels great.

FitRider 921 05-14-08 06:28 PM

I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with Animal tires.

Maxxis M-Treads are rated to 110psi.

bmx2478 05-15-08 06:10 AM

M-treads are poo.

fuzzbox 05-15-08 04:35 PM

I got the animal glh and a kenda kiniption because it was cheap and didn't have money left.

Is that your final answer?

i got the maxxis ringworms ( 110 psi ) and they hold up really good. strong and thick. plus the high psi keeps my tires from pinching, which was a serious problem for me for a while.

This is my dumpy PowerLite P-17 I picked up at Goodwill for $25. Since this photo was taken I stripped off the OEM decals and added my own... Now when I ride around the neighborhood I can tell my wife I'm out dropping the FBomb.

Its a bit small so I'm in the market for either a cruiser or a XL framed 20". I have done nothing to the bike as I simply wanted something I could jump on and ride at a moment's notice. I normally ride road and race at the velodrome, but that is more involved and certainly not safe at night. This is just so simple and care-free, I love BMX. I know the seat is too high... but otherwise it throttles my knees! Excuses, excuses, I know I should be shot for such a heinous crime... I'll tell you, these rival my track racing bike for quad workouts!

FitRider 921 05-18-08 08:50 AM

That's a nice-looking bike. We don't really see too many flatland bikes

If those Plegs in the back are 14mm, don't throw them out, I'll take them off your hands. :)

sweatpants 05-18-08 11:04 AM

they're 3/8. they could prolly be drilled out tho...

fuzzbox 05-18-08 03:30 PM

I'll take them!

fuzzbox 05-19-08 06:06 PM

. . . I officially went brakeless. . . couldn't deal with adjusting my brakes anymore. Plus the bolt holding the cable is stripped(and it isn't tight enough to hold the cable) so that is 98% of the reason. This shall be interesting. I switched my back tire out again to The Walls, the 1.95 of the other tire just couldn't cut it.

KinetikBiker 05-19-08 08:06 PM

...I officially have the best bike on da internetz.

KinetikBiker 05-19-08 08:14 PM

Oh, i went that far.

wethepeople 05-19-08 10:39 PM

My bike is so much nicer than your piece of sharpied trash.

fuzzbox 05-19-08 11:11 PM

bmx2478 05-20-08 02:57 AM

Yeah i'm also waiting for new parts.
My cranks, pedals and stem should be here tomorrow so i'll post a check too.

sweatpants 05-20-08 06:34 PM

your bike is ok. it's ok for an all black bike with nothing exceptional. it does look good tho, no hate. i'm just being honest. i've seen a lot of sick bikes.

NJ Jersey Fresh 05-20-08 10:43 PM

Cleaned up the element a bit... All thats done 2 it are animal grips and bar ends... I went with brakes then i took them off got tired of fiddling with them and scratching up the rims... gonna have to paint or touch them up now...
Let me know what you think. Not bad for $150 tho
