  2. Use a cuter to cut all the nobs off.
    Then sand whats left of the nobs away with a sander.

    I've already tried that but the rubber is really not easy to cut it.
    it seems very easy but it isn't

    Yeah, Evan and I did it with a luna so a try all should be very easy.

    It looked something like this...

  9. Hey Spencer, how was the shaved luna? I'm thinking about doing that to
    my luna and getting a sticky for trials but if there is absolutely no
    difference then I won't bother.

  10. The obvious question: won't a shaved tire not last very long?

    Lunas last forever anyways.

    Yeah, we had to take so much rubber off that tire if I used it on a uni
    it would wear way too fast. I have it on a bc wheel so it wears much
    slower. Uni tires wear really fast in your hopping position so that
    shaved tire would not last very long.
    The try all rubber wears faster than the luna but because of the tread
    you don't have to shave off nearly as much rubber.

    Well the Hoggy only comes in 24 but the same company makes a 20"
    version, it is called the Twenty-G.

  16. two words: end cutters. [image:

    should be all of $7-10 at a hardware store.

    //edit: cut the knobs down/off, it'll take a while but probably not as
    long as all the sanding would.
