  1. Ok i am making my own BC because it is going to cost me around $250 for
    the Nimbus BC and i have heard that they bend eventually anyway.
    I have found this'wheelset thing' (http://tinyurl.com/y5te2l) on Ebay
    and was wondering whether it would be approriate for an (eventually)
    trials BC? it seems to be the same thing that i have read other people
    are using but i want to be certain before parting with money, also how
    much should i be expecting to pay for such a thing?

    Thankou for your help.

  2. I don't know how good Haro hubs are in general, but the ones I looked at
    at my LBS that were around $50, it seemed like the bearings were really
    stiff and kinda scratchy.

  3. That wheel would make a good BC. However, if you want a Trials BC, you
    want a trials tire. And that needs a trials rim, which would be a 19
    inch one. However, you you like that setup get it! At $50 AUS its a
    really good deal!

  4. you dont want a trials tire. you want a 20G.

    $20 from www.3gbikes.com.

    its awesome, perfectly smooth on the top with micro knobbies for
    traction on the sides.

  5. Assuming it fits on an Alex DM18, I want a 20G. But I think that i have
    to buy it from the USA.

    Yeah, you get it from 3Gbikes, I don't think I have seen it anywhere
    else.

    Shipping is only $2 USD more to ship it to Canada. So it is 19+8 for
    shipping to get the tire in Canada, still cheap.

    In that case you should totally get it but not really but only if you
    can get or not get the tire.

    Glad I could help.

    i find myself agreeing with you.

    Thanks spencer, i think i shall just go for it, its only going to be
    $50 odd and if it breaks it isnt much of a loss.
