After some tyre suggestions please. Lightweight xc type tyres good for dirt jumps and bmx tracks.

Currently running some very old maxxis crossmarks.

Keep it raw bro, looks great.
thanks man. It's getting some thin rust lines on it where the clear coats cracked over time. It actually look very cool

I'm thinking more about paint for my NS soda build, but no idea if blasting and powder coating aluminum frames is ok.

Does any frame flex cause binding on the shock? I know it's kinda newish, but how has seal/bushing life been on the protos? What's the frame weight? How tight is the tire clearance? What style of steel was used? Can you teach me how to weld like a god?
I don't see any way it couldn't. it's probably gonna be hard on shocks, just like the P slope and similar designs are.

Council voted last night to build a new park 10 mins easy ride from my house. Stoked af.

Area nimby's likened those who use parks to Isis. They've hit a new level of absurd. Fortunately council seems to realise that.

Nice I'm jealous!

Also that is some next level idiot.

Maxxis Ikon 3C, 480g
Raceking Racesport 2.2, 485g
Speedking 2.2, 430g



Had Racekings and speedkings only, ever since i started 26" in like 2012. Speedking came in 2016 i believe. Great great tires, but a little bit thin sidewalls if you like "Curb-wheelside-grinding" lol

But ordered the Ikon tires few days ago so cant wait to test them! Heard good about them.

I'd lower the fork to 80 personally that's what I run
But isn't it a coil sprung fork? If it is you can't lower it.

Hard to reccomend cranks and rims without knowing your budget, deity cranks for sure. I'm not sure where to get the bb, lbs is where I would look to order one

Maybe a 729 rear rim or an Alex supra 28. They are pretty stout rims

You can lower pretty much any Marzo fork, just gotta put the spacers in the right spot.

ive got about 500ish to play around with,i've been looking at halo combat rear wheel,and race face chester cranks or grab my buddys wtp royals. not sure on tires yet,i was looking at the cult vans tire but it seems to be on the heavier side.ideally id like to find a pair of booze lights but if anyone knows an alternative id be cool with that.
