Yep it's looking like MC option in the winter off season. Wore down the Halo Contras in about a week and a half give or take.Rix said:proper159 said:Feeling a lot better! Now I gotta deal with my tires wearing down within a week! Halo Contras aren't as durable as Duros...thoughts?Rix said:Looks sano Proper, I would have attacked the crack the same way. Good on your local welder.
If you are doing lots of road riding, the Felt Bicycles Thick Brick 24x3.00 tire would be your best bet for big heavy duty bicycle options. SRT (aka Theodor Voltaire) has been running them and says they last. Other wise, MC rim and tire option are probably your best bet.

Welcome Kory to the forums. Before I got my Bomber I actually read every post from page 1 of the thread. Took me a while but I sure learned a lot before I took the plunge. Depending on your needs, both the Bomber and the Fighter can fill the gap. Reading about Rix and his Fighter set up might make you decide between the two since your commute is about 5 km and I assume you come from a MTB background.korywb88 said:Looking at picking up myself a Stealth Bomber, still figuring out finance options. Chose a great day to go into Bike Zone and met Proper159 who told me about this forum. Thanks again dude and will be looking forward to tuning in for all my technical needs.
I have one of these at home sitting a a 24x3 wide cruiser rim laced to a 5403. I was planning to use it for a cruiser project but never got around to it.Rix said:remf said:Nirve FatAss

Remf, do you plan on trying this tire out on your Bomber?

very pleased - the Freeride 350 that was stolen from me in Feb this year was recovered, went to a police auction yesterday (as insurance had paid me out). There was a lot of interest in it, but I got it back for $2.5k. Will have to spend a bit to get it road legal again, and replace the tyres / tires back to off road (someone in their wisdom changed them to Battleax's), but glad to get it back - easiest bike to ride off road I have ever had.efMX Trials Electric Freeride said:Rix said:Yah that Freeride KTM 250 is a sweet looking trail bike. It has a similar exhaust to Trials motorcycles which gives it a super torquey power band down low and flattens out on top. I haven't seen any dyno numbers on the 250 free ride yet but I am sure its not putting out anything over 25HP 18-19KW. That muffler and exhaust system wont let it, but it will pull down to idle like a tractor. Yah, its super light and I would love to have one. Not sure when and if KTM will import them to the US.
i think MexicanBatman has a KTM Freeride (ICE)..
not sure of his location though.. im guessing mexico???

Rick I'm going to put a HeavyAss Shinko on the Bomber but maybe FatAsses on the Fighter.

hahah Ive deff read a bit so far. Going into bike zone to see what my finance payments would be, this will deff help me make my decision. I think im leaning towards the bomber even at the extra expense. The excitement is building, just want to get the order underway and get this baby home.
Rix said:PRW, glad you got your freeride back. Hopefully the turd that stole it is behind bars.

This is what I am talking about!!!! Priorities. Like I just told my live in girlfriend, just because I have a girlfriend, doesn't mean I would have a Stealth, but because I have a Stealth, I can always get a girlfriend. Now as I type this, getting the silent treatment drinking an adult beverage,and enjoying my Friday night. :lol:
