Title: Back to Basics: WTP Trust
Post by: andreas on August 23, 2018, 01:36:35 PM

This is my mini-skateplaza setup that I've been riding for the past month or two. Got back into riding about 2 years ago on a signature Fit Benny complete, used some parts from that to make this WTP feel standard.

Really loving the tires, great for smooth concrete at the local park.

Sweet. Where does one find those tires these days?

I might have messed up the name, they're e-comets, if that makes any difference. I bought them from Ebay here (https://www.ebay.com/itm/PRIMO-E-Comet-BMX-BIKE-TIRES-FOLDING-x-lite-2-2LB-PAIR-20x2-10-freestyle-110psi/312108471230?hash=item48ab1d53be:g:AMQAAOSw2RdZgSuW). The quality of the rubber was actually great and didn't seem to have suffered much from years of storage. There was a noticeable change in the rolling resistance between 2.4 WTP Feelin's and these E-comets. A lot less drag on grinds as well, but I do sloppy grinds so that might only be me.
