Yea I'm guessing it's not gona stay white for long :). Uppy downy seatpost might be an idea? Stay away from the eskars if your planning to use them as tubeless, had awful problems with them burping, they're a really nice tyre, but only with tubes unfortunately :/.
The eskars have good grip and all that jazz but i got 6 puntures on 6 new tubes so i had to take them off or i would have lost my mind.
as for uppy downy seatpost they are too unreliable.
as for staying white it helps to clean your bike to keep the colour haha
Cop on to yourself Darrragh !! the only way to improve that bike is by riding it ! do not pay attention to eejits waffling on about tyres..their are no such thing as bad tyres, just **** riders !!
I'd put lighter tires on and second the uppy downy seatpost. Some are unreliable but I've been using a ks I 900 for the best part of a year without a problem and I think it's one of my fav products.
cheers for the comments lads
it weighs 33lb but i have dh tubes and tyres on it at the moment i want it down to about 31lb though will go tubeless soon
how much is the ks I 900 al ?
