Good tire for Shore/ and urban
- Thread starter formerly poobah
- Start date
To add to that, I'd like to find a truck that gives a great ride in rough technical terrain with plenty of ground clearance, but is very low to the ground for fast cornering. I'd also like to marry a woman with lots of J-Lo T&A, but still has that waifish Calista Flockhart look to her...
Anyone have any recommendations?

How about a good bike for hucking and road racing???
Since no-one is man enough 
to come out and say it- the two are most certainly mutually exclusive. For the shore you need something big and grippy to run with low psi for traction in the wet, muddy, slippery conditions that prevail most of the year. A typical shore tire would have fairly big knobs, a slow-rebounding/soft rubber compound, and be fairly large. Wheras an urban tire needs to be fast rolling, to not drag or slip around in the skateparks. Good urban tires are slicks/semi slicks and really would not work on the shore, unless you like sliping and sliding. In short, you're gonna need two sets of tires, probably.

. To get back on topic, has anyone found a frame that comes in rootbeer, is inexpensive, strong, light, and isn't flexy?

I saw this guy in Whistler with a bike like that. Road bike he had put gussets on and road around town and did all kinds of tricks and he dirt jumps it too. I am sure he hucks it on a regular basis.PsychO!1 said:
Problem solved - nexxxxt.
i wold say to get a hard compound nobby and suffer a little on the urban thing with a little omre rolling resistance. but at the sametime you would suffer a little on the shore part because of the harder compound is not able to stick to everything.
i use the kenda kenentic for everything. urban, dh, fr, park....

could not have said it better myself...
I had some maxxis Highroller 2.7's for a while. They had pretty flat knobs, so they were great on hardpack, and ok for urban. They really excelled on general PNW trail riding, but were kind of sketchy on wet root's rocks. I think they were a dual ply 60a.
Wow this one got dug up from the pit...ioscope said:
