well i have a set of 24seven supercross 2 wheels and a pair of white halo sas wheels...so which tyres would you recomend?

hmmm well the super cross 2 is fat !!! i mean massive lol
so if you want a fat tyre i would go with the bob
but if i were you i would go with the lighest wheel set and a pair of 24"fs100 2.10
coz the 2.10 would be fat on both rims Smile
so thats my2 cents

get a hollow pin chain, also buy a new brake lever (dangerboy mechanical brake lever) buy schwalbe tabletops. also buy some dmr v12 magnesium pedals. those are just small things but will shave alot off in the end. you will shave off up to 3/4 of a kilogram(over a pound)
