Your so 2000and late.

[simon]

fixies are so last year

it's all about pylon trails on a unicycle now

[jimjam]

Don't forget off road tarmac trails. That's what all the cool kids are riding.

[ColB]

So this is not where it's at either anymore?

It's got off road tyres (but they're good on road) so you can go on road or off road...or off road tarmac or even forest trails and under pylon trails.It's got pannier racks and mudguards for carrying sh*t and keeping you dry. It's got disc brakes - You need the clearance and power for forest trails, same reason it's got suspension forks - off road forest trails (that's where sh*t gets real).

james you know nothing, it's got road tyres 9traffics) that are good off road, they are for a totally different type of riding from what you to the are for multi surface commuting possible on non surfaced park paths but definately no forest trails

I'm not saying they would be ideal for forest trails, I know full well that a conti speedking 35mm is the ultimate forest trail tyre but it's far too gnarly for road and off road tarmac - ie coastal paths...you forget that any bike that's designed for forest trails needs to spend 90% of it's life on off road tarmac trails, not just forest trails.

[simon]

surely that's only in dry conditons though, if it's all weather forest trails you'll need a 38mm cindercross?

[jimjam]

Hmmm, or maybe a Schwalbe marathon cross if you really want to tame those gravely bastards.

[simon]

ooooh marathon xr.............

[jimjam]

For shredding the coastal gnarl.

Gnarcore.

I think you'll find Continental's travel contact is the ideal tyre for off road tarmaced pylon forest xc free-tour-commuting. Brah. A slick AND a knobbly? Dude, you know the score.

[jimjam]

This is so the new scene.

[kenny]

Quick, make this thread private, before we get fake-off road tarmaced pylon forest xc free-tour commuting-engers. At least until we set up a clothing company to sell the king's new clothes to them.

[simon]

James!

These guys are just hangers on ignore them we're too cool for them!

bet they'll be rushing out to buy trouser clips and bar end mounted mirrors

[jimjam]

Dont worry, by the time the scene explodes onto the mainstream we'll already figured out the latest anti cool, cool thing.

[simon]

ladies shopping bikes

[AndyL]

Fools. I've gone zero speed. No gears. No brakes. No wheels, frame forks or contact points whatsoever.

In fact, these days, when I'm out riding, It looks just like I'm sitting on home on my sofa. When I really want to push the boundaries, I feign "observation of the television". It's so the new wave of the cutting edge of blue sky thinkriding. I've naturally copyrighted everything, especially the equipment and clothing lines, and all the proper mens magazines (y'know, like GQ and Esq and stuff) are featuring the scene next issue so I can give it all up next week and go underground.

Keep it real. Quiet.

[jimjam]

Back to basics.
