How on earth do you run twin rails for trials? I had a pair and flatted more than I have before with any other tire, and thats rocking 70 psi or so...
My other bike is set up for real trials. This one is more of an urban bike.

The pink Twin Rails are stronger (and heavier) than the black or green versions. The sidewalls are really thick.

Halo Twin Rails:

Black
All new Trail and Street tyre. Utilises 2 central rails (ridges) for reduced buzz on hard surfaces, but features drive ‘sleepers’ between the ‘rails’ to give traction on loose surfaces (Halo patent pending). Also features overlapping low profile studs to avoid lateral flex during hard cornering, and so provide positive steering. Multi use pressures allow this one tyre to perform in almost all conditions… both on road and off road. Built-in Puncture Protection System reduces flats.

* Directional, universal front or rear tread
* Knurled ground contact points
* High quality carcass with beadlock
* Built-in Puncture Protection System
* Weight: 770g

Pink
Limited Edition Jump tyre. Produced in all over bright pink rubber, this limited Edition Twin Rail has thicker walls (due to the Pink rubber instead of just the Black Skinwall carcass) and so increases protection from Snake Bite punctures whilst jumping. Utilises 2 central rails (ridges) for reduced buzz on hard surfaces, but features drive ‘sleepers’ between the ‘rails’ to give traction on loose surfaces (Halo patent pending). Also features overlapping low profile studs to avoid lateral flex during hard cornering, and so provide positive steering. Multi use pressures allow this one tyre to perform in almost all conditions… both on road and off road. Built-in Puncture Protection System reduces flats.

* Directional, universal front or rear tread
* Knurled ground contact points
* High quality carcass with beadlock
* Built-in Puncture Protection System
* All over Pink Rubber
* Weight:1130g

Green
Another Limited Edition Jump tyre. Produced in a bright Green rubber with a black skinwall. Utilises 2 central rails (ridges) for reduced buzz on hard surfaces, but features drive ‘sleepers’ between the ‘rails’ to give traction on loose surfaces (Halo patent pending). Also features overlapping low profile studs to avoid lateral flex during hard cornering, and so provide positive steering. Multi use pressures allow this one tyre to perform in almost all conditions… both on road and off road.Directional, Built-in Puncture Protection System reduces flats.

* Directional, universal front or rear tread
* Knurled ground contact points
* High quality carcass with beadlock
* Built-in Puncture Protection System
* Black skinwall with Green rubber

* Directional, universal front or rear tread
* Knurled ground contact points
* High quality carcass with beadlock
* Built-in Puncture Protection System
* Soft compound outer tread for increased cornering grip

thanks, according to my bathroom scale(that's in the kitchen for some reason) it's about 28.5 to 29 pounds depending on how I stand on the scale.

It plows through stuff I screw up on like a champ. the front end is a little too squishy for the skate park but it's managable .

Not to be a dick because it's a sick looking bike, but could you explain to me the purpose of riding a saddle that low?? I have mine as low as I can get it and still be able to pinch it (a bit) and sit down and pedal every now and then and it's this high:

Gotcha. There is tons of places to save weight on my bike. I built it strong first with parts that I had around for the most part. I can start shaving weight off if need be. As it sits it's pretty bombproof, just doesn't serve double duty real well as a 4X/DS bike. We will see after this season....

Junkie, another angle of the seat is they kinda get in the way sometimes. Basically unless you blow your pedals they have no real purpose and are just one more obstacle to clear during tricks like tailwhips and no footed cans. Some guys pinch them for barspins, or use them for cornering while riding, but if your riding doesn't involve those elements there is no real reason to keep it high. I finally took my 20" seat down the last 1" to slam it, MTB's are still up an inch. Regardless, I plan to come to Chi area this summer, hope to get some rides in with you guys. Let me know if your ever coming up to Sconie.

Pesling, I really like they way your MOB looks, very sweet.
