Fixie Tire - Colors??
 

I am new here and need some input. I recently converted a bike into a fixed gear and i'm looking to customize it a bit. I am looking for some different color tires - not just colored rims. I found one company that makes them - http://www.fyxation.com - they are exactly what i'm looking for, but I don't think they are shipping yet. I can wait but thought I would see if anyone else knew of anything.

Thanks!

get red they are the fastest.

Michelin makes many colored tires. Also, if you're looking for a FG specific tire, The Soma Everwears come with strips of color on the sidewalls.

any road tire will work (unless you are doing a lot of skidding, then they will work, just for a shorter time) and almost every company makes a tire in some color. it's easier to determine the color you are looking for, then find out who makes that color.

i love rubino pros. only 25 bucks each too. high pressure (140psi), good tpi (120), and available in colors (though white is hard to get, which is why i only have one lol)

Where are you finding rubino pro's for $25?

As for colored tires, if you want some that'll last and you can skid on, I just started running panaracer tserv's which come in colors. Also the Soma everwears...

hmm, prices are up 50 cents from when i ordered, but here: http://www.probikekit.com/display.ph...4&LIMIT=12#toc

damn, diamante pros for 35 bucks

Gran Compe

Getting sidetracked, but everyone always posts that conti gatorskins can be had for 25 shipped from probikekit. I've looked, although not hard, but couldnt find this for myself. can someone post a link...?

edit: just kidding, found it

Thats cheap. I think I paid almost 35 each for the rubinos awhile back. Free shipping to USA too...

Black tires are longer lasting

How about colored sew ups?

is no one gonna' call shill here?

how do they get away with only charging 25 bucks for rubino pros? AND FREE shipping? wtf? ebay/google search shows them 44-50 dollars each. that's ridiculous. prices so good you wanna slap yo mama.

another has seen the light of pbk. i've done an order with them and it took like 4 days to get to cali. from england. wat. my nashbar order took longer...

only thing is that some people get some strange charges on their card, there was a problem in transactions across the pond (was affecting chainreactioncycles or wiggle too, can't remember). haven't seen too much on this lately, just keep an eye out and be prepared to call the card company to cancel any off charges (not if the price is slightly different, the price may change by a dollar or two as the exchange rate changes constantly).

vittoria zaffiro for full white~ avg=$60 for pair

perhaps i should order with a prepaid visa than? would you recommend this? I was gonna get one of those pre-loaded visas for nashbar too because I heard the same thing there.

thanks for the feedback! I am still leaning towards the Session 700's from Fyxation because I want these things to last a bit and they sound pretty durable.

I'll report back when I get them on my ride.

Thanks again!
