xavs trials tire?

I heard in some other thread that he took a normal trials tire and cut
the nubs off, but if i remember correctly that tire actualy failed, so
if he is still using a flat one then maybe he got a custom tire.

Could this be a sign of tires to come from try-all!?!?!

I think a tire like that would be a great idea. A special 'Street' style
tire. I'd buy one.

I would buy five, hopefully enough to last me until whenever; before
they end up like a luna tire. (Who even makes a luna tire?!)

yeah i mentioned this in another thread...i think it is a
prototype...its way to smooth to have had the nubs just cut off.

Guy from UDC australia was saying that the luna tyres are actually made
by maxxis. they dont have maxxis on them because apparently some
countries dont like buying american stuff or something. i dunno.
But yeah, they are definately made by Maxxis.

Cheers,

Max

the bio on k-1.com said this about his unis:

my unis: Prototype K1 / DEVIL /
Free-Tricks

so the whole uni is a prototype! i was wondering, cause i never
recognised his frame from anywhere.

I'm pretty sure it's a koxx frame.

Me & kington99 were having this conversation yesterday... Xav appears to
have an old (unpainted) koxx devil frame, with a normal seatpost and a
new saddle, but a 3-bolt seatclamp. Its a cheesehole rim, with a koxx-1
isis hub, but with different, hollow, 3-piece cranks on it. And the
tyre is a slick, treadless tyre but made of what appears to be a more
durable compound than the sticky fingers.

If you watch the Barcelona vid and pause at all the closeups, you can
see that the cranks aren't right, but the hub is thin like the koxx.
And that the tyre has the try-all markings on the sidewall, so its an
official (prototype) tyre.

Loose.

i think he used to but now he uses a prototype tire cuz the tire is too
slick to just have the nubs cut off

I think he cut the nobs off and sanded whats left over of the nobs,
thats why its so smooth. He is sponsord by 24 bicycles and i think
those are the pedals, and maybe the clamp. And the hub and cranks are
onza, in his older movies he rides a onza and some of the koxx movies.
He probly likes the onza because of all the flatland stuff he does (
koxx carnks are really hard to stand on).

ok,

I cut them one by one with a cutter and after, I grind the tire until
it is slick.
It's very long but it's worth the trouble.

Xavier, Those prototype cranks look bit similar to the KH/onza cranks.
Are they ISIS? Would they fit on my current koxx ISIS hub?
After you cut the nobs off your tire, dose it wear through quickly?
