Stolen in south east England (Brighton) today from Sussex uni at around 4pm, hope people don't mind me posting this everywhere but I wanna get it out as much as possible, obviously super unique, had a profile elite mtb hub, doubt there's more than 10 of these exact black hubs in the uk so if you see any for sale please tell me!! Thanks

Hell yeah he has the Mollys. The 4 pc bars are called Sweet Bars. I have 1 of the 1st pairs of 3 pc bars he sold. The new ones are badass. Check my Instagram page @shermanfloors I have a pic of all 3 sets.

I ride mostly park, and don't know which tyre (26") width would be perfect, 2.15 or 2.3"?
Some of tyres I can buy at LBS are Kenda Kiniption 26x2,3, Maxxis DTH 2.3/2.15, Vittoria Tattoo Light 2,3, Schwalbe Big Ben 2,15

should I go for both same size, or even mix it like front 2,3 rear 2,15?

Most people ride 2.3-ish front and back.

I think you can easily mix & match, I'd say try it if you never have.
Although you might want to consider that tire widths differ from manufacturer to manufacturer... Good thing you can pop in to your lbs and see for yourself!Wink

I've ran plenty of 2.2s and 2.25s. 2.15 is where I draw the line. To be honest, my favourite 26" tire is Mac 2 dirt, and it's 2.25 iirc. Second 2 are Specialized Compound control 2.3, and Rhythym Lite 2.3.

The latter 2 Specialized tires aren't too expensive, at least mine weren't. KHEs are hella expensive, no matter where you go. I strongly recommend anyone on this board to try Specialized tires and tell me they don't like them.

Booze lights are nice too, but they are huge tires. Inflated to 60 psi they're almost 2.45 wide, depending on rim choice

thank you all for advices

only reason I would go for narrower tyre is because it is also lighter, so I think I will go for vittoria tattoo light (wide and lightweight)

my first choice would be maxxis dth, but it is more expensive
I would go for it only if it would last longer than tattoo light, so has someone already ridden the both?

p.s. I could also get for really cheap Schwalbe table tops (I have them already and they are ok, but they don't last long tho) but I moved and I am not riding dirt anymore, so that's why I wanted to get some more park-specific tyre
