Gazzaloddi G UST & 150 cranks

musketman · 2006-08-21T15:26:34+00:00

I just bought a Gazzaloddi G UST tire from speedgoat.com. I was wondering if anybody has used this tire. I bought it for my 26" muni. The tire is really light. It's a 26" x 2.6" and weighs only 795 grams! I figured it would feel alot lighter than my Gazzaloddi 3.0 tire that weighs like 1500 sumpthin grams. And i also bought 150 cranks to go with the tire.How does a 26" Muni feel with 150 cranks? Can u still do good muni alright? Or is it sluggish and hard for uphill? http://tinyurl.com/j666e -- musketman MUSKETMAN www.unicycle.com For Sale: Parachute, only used once, never opened, small stain ------------------------------------------------------------------------ musketman's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9214 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/52314

150s might be a little short for technical trails, but im sure for xc
riding it wouldn't be too bad.

Isn't that light, is 1400g.
The 795g one must be the 2.3" folding one.

The gazz jr 26x2.6 is a good tyre this looks similar if a bit less
chunky so should be okay.
150 cranks will be fine. There isn't much difference between 150 and
165s that a few minutes of practice on the other crank size won't sort
out.

You dont have to run it tubeless. Its capable of running tubeless. That
brings me onto another question, has anyone tried a tubeless tire for
Muni? It seems it would be to absorbing for hops.
