new T1/animal tires

[full metal jacky]

Where's the damn T1 stem

This. last year i thought it was so close with the zodiac eng teasing

[Narcoleptic Insomniac]

They couldn't find a manufacturer to make the stems so that is on hold for now.

I had my hands on the zodiac made stem, it looked amazing. Not sure what happened there, I thought Ken was doing them.

I'm surprised t1 has had the relationship with S&M as long as they have. Dude doesn't have a good track record with being pleased with many companies.

Your companies?

[redface]

as long as the product arrives within a reasonable amount of time, and is manufactured as ordered, Joe will work with anyone

I have no idea why everyone use old smaller tube for tubless. it works w/o it.
Maybe the problem is most bmx tires are fitting loose on rims so its hard to seal them.

Manufactured as ordered seems the operative word. EG morsecodes and mocking birds.

Good catch on the autocorrect, I ain't shit! Our companies... Ha!

I'm pretty psyched on this collaboration. Animal and T-1 are probably two of my top three or four favorite BMX companies to support. Animal tires have always treated me well, and I have wanted another slic style tire since the death of the ASM. Hopefully these have the longevity of an Animal tire, with a little less weight( plus T-1 cool points).

[Prodigal Son]

Seems like fly would've been the go to. Definitely going to get one (if they ever come out) to replace the Rubens.

[redface]

they'll be available next month

[Prodigal Son]

Animal's strong return makes me happy.

Not so much your average tire, it's a dual compound tire with the center strip being a harder compound. And they are 2.4/2.2.

Sidewalls on GLHs are so thick you can almost ride them with no air.

If someone knows of a good tubeless set up tutorial I willing to try it and report back provided it costs no or little money. I have and old hazard lite wheel and old GLH I can use.

Gorilla tape your rim instead of rimtape. Cut a 16" tube down the centre, around the top and stretch it onto your rim. Put your tire on between the flaps of tubes with a bit of sealant. Pump it up, cut off the excess tube hanging out.

That seems like a lot of work for not a lot of payoff. Is the advantage just less weight?

And no flats.  Too much maintenance to be fucked
