    What size wheel do you have them on? I find the smaller ones take a
    bit of revving. *

    A 24" usally.we have two sets,four tireflys and they all take some
    bouncing to turn on.
    Mine are green.The ones that flash red,blue,and clear would be cool.

    They'ed probally look cooler on a faster wheel.

  8. Yeah, the triple colour flashing ones are awesome!

    Mine are the UV blue ones.

  9. That hardtail has the strangest geometry I have ever seen. The seat tube
    looks like it was just thrown on there. The tube from the down tube to
    the seat tube looks like it should be way farther back. Also, it looks
    like the whole frame was drawn up for a greater head angle. The frame
    kindof angles there right before the steerer tube. Because of this, your
    wheelbase looks short and standover looks high.

    How does it ride? Is it stiff? Looks durable in the front with the big
    gusset there, but I'm curious about the rear.

    Wheelbase is a little compact but not overly short. Standover is ample
    but not excessively.

    It rides a lot like an oversized BMX cruiser, reactive and twitchy! I
    run a 24" on the back so that has a lot to do with it. Stiff as a board,
    but what else would you expect from aluminum! Great dirt jumping, urban,
    technical North Shore bike(awesome on skinnies). Not a good XC trail
    bike and not a good large drop bike......but that has a lot to do with
    the fork I put on it. Since I already have a good trail/medium hit bike
    I built the hardtail up to be more of a technical frame. All that being
    said the frame is VERY strong. Back when KHS [censored] were in production
    (2001-2002) a pro-rider rode one and in one of the DVD's from then he
    does some gnar-core [censored] on that frame. I have no worries of breaking
    it. I love it because of the way it rides.......but it's also very cool
    to have such an unusual frame in my stable, it is like a piece of
    art.......ugly art 😄

    Nice. What is the rear wheel on the FR? Also, is that a Lexan bashring?

    The rear wheel or tire? The rear wheel on the FR2000 is a Sun
    Singletrack.....the tire is a Panaracer Fire FR.

    I'm actually running a Maxxis HolyRoller on the back of the [censored]
    now.......real nice tire!

    Yes to the Lexan bashrings......running a E.13 SRS Chainguide on the
    [censored] (8 speed), and a E.13 DRS Chainguide on the FR2000 (18 speed).

    E.13 guides are the best thing since sliced bread..........never dropped
    a chain or even a gear in years!

  14. Nah.....the Sun Singletracks have been bomb proof so far and they are
    lighter than the trailpimp. The FR2000 is too heavy as it is.......about
    43lbs. I don't own an XC rig so it is the only bike I use to ride trail
    and here in the Appalachian Mountains every extra ounce puts me that
    much closer to barfing on big climbs. 😄

    I've been running those singletrack rims for years now and never had to
    do any major truing eventhough they have seen a plethora of +6 foot
    drops.

  17. OK one more time. Leave the freeride alone. Change the hardtail (feels
    weird calling it that) so that the trailpimp is in the back. That's
    would I would do.
