fyxation - expensive but actually real quality. feel grippy.
Cool. Fyxation seems the way to go. I don't mind investing in something a little pricier if it's gonna last a while.

I'm putting more white into my ride...seat, grips, crankset and my back wheel. Goin for a kind of optical illusion effect that I don't think will work with black tires. We'll see. Either way it's lookin good so far.

I can't really understand what's wrong or funny about wanting a bike that looks like the photo I'm posting. If it is then I'm clearly in the wrong place and why would I stick around?

Chill out, man - It's just the internet. You got plenty of suggestions that were worth while, and only a moderate amount of flaming. Just don't expect to be rude and get non-rude responses.

Anyway, I personally ride the Gatorskins or the Duranos

I just ran through my 25c thickslick on the back. I still might buy more though, since they aren't that expensive and ride nice. That and I want to eventually try a 28c Rando back there too.

I honestly feel like I don't skid that much. My streets being pretty ****ty can't help.

Yea, I'm getting how all this works now. Didn't mean to come off rude, just woke up one morning with a bikeforum email update on all these replies. Thanks for the input.

A few months. I guess I skid more than I thought though.
