rear is 14mm, front is female bolt style 10mm

Cheers Austen, getting new rear tyre. Im thinking Animal GHL, looks pretty sturdy.

If i kept purple i would get purple pc's and purple stem. If i swap over to black grips then i just have to get black pc's to even it out. black does look cleaner i think.
ill have a look when i get home, see which looks better.
cheers
Jack

animal asm would be better for the rear

Im a bit unsure of slicks, do they grip alright on dirt? and when its wet?

 

[Austen]

dunno dude im not a bmx rider thats just feedback i get from riders at work, seeing as though your riding dirt as well then maybe a glh would be better

yea, is it worth going folding. much lighter i hear.

 

[Austen]

yeah a fair bit lighter, but also twice the price

yea also Maxxis miricle looks like a good tyre for street and park and a lil light dirt.

Dont they wear out quickly? Thats what my friend told me(nick)

 

[Austen]

im not entirely sure about that

 

[RevellBikes]

All Ive heard about Maxxis Grifters is that they are shit. Heard alot of people tearing them with in weeks/days of purchase (sp?). Have a look at the oddyesy plyte tyres. Ask in The Riding Thread in the bmx section, just ask what tyre set ups everyone is running and ask for a good all rounder tyre.

EDIT: Or just look at peoples setups on their bmx's and you decide.

yeah the ody tires are always popular, as are animals, but i havent heard anything negative about grifters yet
