They remind me a bit of the ol' Gatorskins in their weight and perceived toughness. They are not meant to be racing tyres, but I am looking for reliability over weight and rolling resistance. 'Dale 1

On my second set, vs Gatorskins they are MUCH better. Used to run gatorskins for years. Also went for puncture resistance over weight and rolling resistance. Unless something better comes along at the price I will continue to use them. 'Dale and splat 2
V18 Posted March 4, 2022 Posted March 4, 2022 (edited) Just got my 5yo son his first geared bike. Titan Hades SE 20. Very impressed with the components for the price. Light! Hydraulic brakes with kiddie friendly adjustable reach. Rapid fire shifter microshift 1x8 drive train. Suntour air fork with ridiculous plushness at low pressures. Vee crown gem tyres. Only thing that may be an issue is the rear derailer clearance from the ground... but I see that is a common issue in tiny wheel geared bikes. Edited March 4, 2022 by V18 MongooseMan, Trashy, Steven Knoetze (sk27) and 2 others 5

Also about to pull the trigger on a 20" for my son, and trying to get something quality that will last for him and then his sister.
V18 Posted March 4, 2022 Posted March 4, 2022 @MongooseMan they were being unboxed at cwc. Better jump on it. Didn't look like many were available. MongooseMan 1

Trashy Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 Super stoked about this one. Finally found a 165mm crank in stock. Hopefully this will bring some relief to my lower back as well as fewer pedal strikes. ChrisF, MajG, Wayne pudding Mol and 1 other 4
DKS Posted March 10, 2022 Posted March 10, 2022 Been looking for one of these for a while and was struggling….  splat, MonsterMan and DIPSLICK 3
splat Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 I collected this thing of beauty from David yesterday. Great workmanship and attention to detail! (more pics on the gravel thread in due course) Â DJuice, MajG, Trashy and 16 others 19
Steady Spin Posted March 18, 2022 Posted March 18, 2022 Full Ti Delta Link, Trunnion and Lower Shock Bolts, Front Pivot Bolts from Huk Tek This was not a cheap exercise but rather a necessary Evil to replace what can only be described as bolts made of cheese.   Riaan H, Steven Knoetze (sk27), ChrisF and 4 others 7

Those are the least likely to break since you never really touch them. I bought from Huk-Tek I stripped a trunnion bolt when I removed the shock to have it serviced. It was torqued to spec and installed correctly. The standard bolts are hollow aluminum...

Especially those trunion bolts. Steady Spin 1
MongooseMan Posted March 19, 2022 Posted March 19, 2022 Level up for the laaitie. 20 inch Titan Hades SE (currently on special at Cyclelab/CW). Really (really) nice bike (nicer brakes than mine 🙈), kid managed to work out how gears work in about 10 minutes 😂 The Ouzo, Chadvdw67, SilverRider and 16 others 18 1
