Did you eat a free weiner?

it was pretty funny listening to him for an hour or so, phrases like,

cum get a weiner, buns included

i have a weiner for your mouth

round meat product nestled between warm buns.



no I did not get a free weiner, I ate at A&W and had a rootbeer float with chili cheese fries. booya baby

I put descriptions for most of the photos on the evomo blog

What the hell are those tire balls and the new turner looks sweet.

dont know what to think about the tire balls yet, heard they deform your tire a little after a while and not sure how much it weighs but I know a wheels set with those mounted would come in super handy on some gnar gnar race courses since you can run them with uber low pressure and no worries of flats or losing beads.

Why don't we have any info on the most interesting product? If they work, that'd be cool.

White Fox36 on that Tomac Snyper?

 

[bikenweed]

never mind, i was being optimistic

That Foes looks bitchin'. I want one. What's the consensus on these bikes? I don't think I've seen a single thread about 'em here.

Tire balls have been used super effectively on lots of moto and quad riding stuff for awhile now. I've been trying to get my hands on a set for a dh tire for awhile now.

Hey, that's my bike....

im sure they work alright for those applications but what about something like DH where we are always changing preasure depending on conditions?

Whats up with the car wheels at Foes?

good question, they had more non bike related items than bikes.

actually i think they only had 2 or 3 bikes.

I bought a really nice shower head and a garage door opener from them though.

moto racers change air pressure just as much as dh racers. I can feel a 1psi difference in my MX bike. It takes about a 2-3 psi difference for me to feel it on the DH bike. That is probably since both are about a 10% change.

Who makes these? My only complaint with on-the-fly adjust posts has been that they only move a few inches. This thing looks like about 10" of adjust.

Fras - wasn't there a thread about Tire Balls about a year ago? I could swear that someone here at RM was talking about crossing over with this technology from Quads to DH....

Interesting that it's at I-Bike this year...

So the purpose is to reduce pinch-flats, but I wonder how much rotational weight do they add over a regular DH tube?

Now thats funny. Maybe one day they will wake up and smell the coffee. Or maybe they could sell coffee. Now thats an idea.

Sounds like they are liquidating their assets.

Expensive... not-too-heavy... and always beautiful.

Lovely bikes. Bomb-proof Curnutt shocks.

One the scale of $ to $$$$$... I give it a $$$$$$$$$$$$.

They have called me a couple of times to test for them and I can never seem to find the time. If I hear back from them, I will forward them on to you.

Sweet, thanks Doug. I just want to see if they actually work, what they feel like, how flat resistant they are etc.

One of the guys at the Snowshoe bike shop was running tire balls atleast at the first race of the series this year. I forgot his name, he rides a yellow Kona Stab with lots of lynseed oil on it.
