Iā€™m pretty sure you recently scored a Prototipo for 200 bones so you can shut your pretty mouth.

Plastic in the rubber compoundā€¦
A lot of the cheap tires are made with all sort of material, including carcinogenic de moulding detergents.
You donā€™t really know what is in there.

Rockstars are only Ā£45. Might make my own though

Donā€™t feel like going all out on a build I might not like

Iā€™ve been leaning more towards MBS for wheels. I need to decide soon. May get those Ali ones @mmaner picked up as a test set

I donā€™t like how the superstars are made from so many parts. And the installation takes forever.

Itā€™s ok if you have a drill handy but I donā€™t always have one

True, havenā€™t even gotten to that part of the decision yet. Getting the kaly has disrupted my future builds for a while. Gotta be more economical or sell some other shit off. Thanks for the original links though.

I actually ordered one of the razor ones the other day to have a spare, it was a different brand than the ones in the picture/description.

The pictures were the ā€œCleverā€ brand but the one that came was totally different. Iā€™ll see what it is when I get home but it feels the same in my hand

They take forever to disassemble. I think @ducktaperules used a metal plate to hold the nuts in place while unscrewing the spokes.

We sold tires to a company who made a toy car for kids. Why did they order from us: They had their product tested by a third party lab and found all sort of nasties in the cheap alternative tires they sourced before buying from us.

We recently bought some clone wheels and opening the box was already quite an experience for the noseā€¦

I donā€™t guy why you guys are so much against trampa products, some of them are bad, but others are quite decent.
