Here I am keeping this thread alive.

White porcs, Green Wildgrippers, Red Z max, Butterscotch Psychos, 'Magic' smoke/dart and Ummagummas...

Nothing else is acceptable, and the above still need to suit the bike.

Kenda k-829 does everything I need. Best tyre I have ever used. A lot depends on where you live. The Kenda is great on road and tracks, pretty good on wet surfaces and OK in snow. Genuine decent tyre.

Here's a 'retro' pic of a bike of mine

I'm sure they are a decent tyre, no problems there... But when has retrobike ever worried about how well something works?

Interested to hear from the users of the Kenda tyres, what the weight is like. Bikester lists them as over a kg. Is that right? Anyone weighed one?

Any excuse

We mixed the paint for my Alves to match a pair of wildgrippers many moons ago! :facepalm:

Beautiful! So why the facepalm?
Why stop there? How about fork arch and lowers? Stem and bars? Pedal cages?
How much is too much?

Normally not a fan of coloured tires but quite liking these on the Al-mega I am currently building. From then on however it's tan wall or all black for me.
