Trials tire selection/24"

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.

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.

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 :stuck_out_tongue:
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.

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 to see pics and vids of it in action.
