  1. I've been reading here for a few weeks now...
    I want to kow if the hookworm would be lighter and more suitable then a
    gazz for a manmade trials scenario. Appreciate all inputs. Light 125lbs
    ,learning trials on a nimbus muni. Gapping, dropping, hopping, level 3
    rider.

  2. The Hookworm is very street. Itdoesnt have great grip even for urban
    Trials...Unfortunately i cannoth think of a good light 24" tire for
    Trials but im sure someone who comes along will...My experiences with
    the Hookworm are to run at high pressure for Street riding or cruising.

  3. I haven't actually used this tire, but I know that they make the dyno
    fireball 24" by 3" tire. I know kris holm uses it, but thats about all.

    What about me?
    I use it 2.
    Silly mornish forgot me :p
    Fine urban trial tire.
    The tire must have a higher presure then the Gazz or Wildlife but you
    will get used to it.
    The high presure will make your hopping techniek beter.
    When you switch back to a Gazz or so you will hop higher than on the
    Fireball.
    But it's a FINE urban tire.
    Try it out and you will see.

  5. I use a Fireball on my street muni.
    - It's a real smooth ride and it's large... probably about the size of
    a gazz cause it makes my duro 24x3 seem small.

    - The upside is the smoothness and the look.
    - The downside is that it has really thin sidewalls which makes it a
    challenge to ride when on a slight camber as it tries to pull to either
    side. It doesn't have the same "bounce" as my duro either.

    You can look in my 'gallery'
    (http://www.unicyclist.com/gallery/?g2_itemId=160494) to see pics and
    vids of it in action.
