How BMX Tires Are Made

July 23, 2016

Curious how bicycle tires are made? Here’s a video that shows how it’s done!

Making a BMX tire is a complex process of combining a bunch of layers of rubber, wire and nylon together to make a single tire. The other day, Chris Moeller dropped some videos on Instagram giving us a look at some of those processes while a few of the S&M Bikes tires were being made over in Taiwan, which for some reason were deleted later. After we watched the videos, we decided to see if we could find more in-depth footage showing and explaining just how tires for bikes are made. Luckily, Schwalbe had a super good video to show just how the process is done from start to finish and how tubes for bicycles are made. It’s definitely interesting to see how much goes into a single tire. Above you can find the video that Schwalbe made giving you a look at the full process of how a bicycle tire and even how tubes are made. These aren’t BMX tires, but it’s a very similar process that is used to do a BMX tire, just a smaller diameter, thicker rubber and different tread patterns. Pretty cool, huh?

Sneak Peek: GT Bicycles – LP-5 Color Changing Tire

July 19, 2016

Here’s a little sneak peek we caught over the weekend that some of you might be interested to see! Not only are GT Bicycles bringing their classic logo tire back, but they’ve also got a little surprise inside as well. The LP-5 tire was made so that once the top layer of black rubber wears away, a yellow rubber is exposed. So, in short, over time as you ride, the tire will change colors where the most wear is occurring. That could be from rolling, grinding, skidding or whatever.

What do you think? Would you run that? What color combo would you want?

Sneak Peek: Flybikes – Devon Smillie Signature Fuego Tire

June 25, 2016

Devon Smillie posted up a sneak peek look at his brand new signature Fuego tire from Flybikes. There is not much information to go along with the photo, but it looks like it’s based off the classic Ruben Alcantara signature Ruben Rampera tire (which is on the right), but with a smoother tread pattern that’s more ideal for street riding. We would imagine there might be a few other changes like the TPI to allow a lower PSI since Devon tends to run his tires on the lower air pressure side. We’ll keep you posted once we find out more details!

Update: Here’s another look at the Fuego tires. Stefan Lantschner posted this photo of his current Flybikes setup with samples of the tires that are due out toward the end of October!

Eclat – Bruno Hoffmann Predator Tire Promo

June 14, 2016

It’s always a good day when a fresh Bruno Hoffmann BMX video surfaces online! Eclat just released this new promo video featuring Bruno putting his signature Predator Tires to good use! Amazing spots along with plenty of grinds and freecoaster action. Bruno brings the heat once again. Hit play and enjoy, then learn all about the tires right here!

“When Bruno Hoffmann came to us with an idea for a tire, we knew this was going to be one tough set of rubber built for the streets.

The ‘Predator Tire’ was build from Bruno’s need for a super tough, dependable tire that not only gripped like nothing else, but was also strong enough on the sidewalls to last heavy flat ledge sessions and resist the trauma that his blend of technical and burly riding can cause to a tire.

Constructed using the finest quality materials possible, the Predator Tire will be available in Bruno’s preferred size of 2.30” (58mm), which is what he considers “the perfect size” for street riding.

Available now worldwide in Black and Desert Tan, with more colours coming later this Summer…

Filmed by Felix Lukas.”

Product: Animal Bikes X Terrible One – Ursa Minor & Major Tires

June 2, 2016

The awaited Animal Bikes X Terrible One collaboration Ursa Mior and Ursa Major tires have started to land at BMX shops and mail-orders worldwide! The Ursa and Major tires features a dual compound proprietary blend of rubber compounds that creates a fast and grippy tire. The center features a harder rubber compound to help reduce rolling resistance while a softer compound is used around the edges to help you grab while turning on street, ramps or pools. The tire features a center groove, along with smaller grooves that combine T and 1 on the edges with a smooth tread throughout the rest of the tire.

The Ursa tire is available in in two sizes; Minor, which is a 2.20″ (2.28″ Inflated) and Major, which is 2.40″ (2.44″ Inflated). Both sizes are available for $29.99 in black only through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Animal Bikes and Terrible One worldwide.

As we mentioned above, the actual inflated sizes are a little bigger than their actual size. 2.20″ is more like 2.28″ and 2.40″ is more like 2.44″ width. Keep that in mind if you’re running tight on space for your fork on frame.

Don’t forget, this tire is Joe Rich approved!
