i have skyway tuff2's with random tire. tuffs kinda suck for braking. you need koolstop eagle pads or do the old soda drink around the rim. its a flat land bike so i don't have to worry about too much flexing on the mags.

Get the odyssey hazard light rims and either demo anorexia for LHD or shadow rant v2 for right any spokes + nipples will do but have it done professionally danscomp can assemble it for you if you call them and tell them what you want

I'm running a G-Sport Ratchet laced to an Odyssey Hazard Lite with a Fit FAF-K folding tire.  It's a pretty solid setup.

Thread jack. Anyone know of a good inexpensive bmx bike? I saw a few Mirraco's today that were pretty ill.

What kind of price range are you looking at? A lot of bmx companies make pretty good completes for reasonable prices.

lol pete. diamondback makes pretty cheap bikes but the quality is bad.  most bikes range from $250 to even $500.  check out dans comp for bikes.

it really depends on how much your willing to pay, a low end haro is probably one of the cheapest without buying at wal mart or something, but the cheaper fit bikes are great quality and wont cost you as much as some of the higher end ones. eastern is another company you should check out

I don't really want to spend more than $400. I would prefer something closer to $300-350. I won't be doing too much on it, I want it more for dicking around and hitting some smaller dirt jumps most likely.
