  2. I'll just say, if you make too many threads consecutively people may not
    be best amused :p

    In answer to your question; they are still being ''tested'' so to speak
    (and are not out yet).

  3. Yea but if he took the time to go through the threads and find them all
    he should have seen atleast some of the rules.

    ..... okay I was a bit harsh. I will tone it down. PLease dont just
    steal the trophies bro. Some of us worked real hard for them. You will
    feel much better if you earn them. Thanks.

    EDIT: P.S Welcome. Try using the search button. Its weird at first but
    after you learn what to search for you will be able to find tons of
    answers to tons of questions without cluttering up the fourms.

    Still... maybe that's what people from Belgium find acceptable

    Yes they are cool but the idea is you have to "win" them. Thats what
    makes them special.

    It's probably hard to get the qualities they want w/ the white.

    Probably similar to colored motorcycle tires. The color ones look
    cool, but aren't used much because their traction is less than black
    tires (and looses it rather suddenly therefore potentially dangerous)
    and significantly less tread life keeps them from being too popular.
    This could be mostly fixed with more development time/$ but sportbikes
    have always been more about functionality than looking cool.

    Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
    are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
    time do it along the way.

    Good point. And i'm confused now! Surely if they're white, that means
    they have to be made out of something completely different, to make
    them white? And therefore they cannot ride exactly the same as black
    ones? (I honestly don't know alot about tyre manufacture, help! 😉 )

    I'd bet they are very similar to white freestyle tires and they just
    need to do extra testing so they work at least OK for street and
    trials, maybe tweak the compound a bit. But I think they are mainly
    for asthetics and to do flatland in gymnasiums w/ freestylers at club
    meetings.

  17. they still use the same compound... it doesnt change just because the
    colour changes. For some brakepads you get them in fancy colours but
    can be of the same compound. It depends on what dye you use in the
    manufacturing.

    I think they are just 'testing' it to see how it reacts aesthetically
    if that makes sense... i.e. how that sticky type of compound collects
    dirt etc.. to see if it's worth releasing because if it gets dirty
    tooooo easily then less will want to buy.

  18. Does anyone know anything about the 19" slick tire that I keep on seeing
    on the K1 website? It looks exactly like the 26" version but in 19" and
    they have it on some of their unis. Or are my eyes just tricking me and
    its actualy just a really well shaved normal Try all tire.

  19. the dyes can change the compound. try colored bike grips, compared to
    black. they get sticky and where out quickly. i am sure it is the same
    thing with the white tires. the dye CAN affect the rubber.

    the motocross tire companies are doing.
