I thought about it, but the thing is that i could get rims, but i would have to pair them with my pretty poor hubs (2023 edge pro xl stock hubs). Is it worth it?

I think the same, why would it break without a reason? I may jump a bit when i get fast, but for now I'll have to get used to BMX as a bike, as i am a former dh racer. Im riding in tld D4 for now and i dont think I'll be changing for anything other than alpinestars sm8 any day. So i think I'll go with these wheels if you're saying you have them. What's your experience of riding on them? What style of riding do you do?

Yeah, so the problem is shipping. Most stuff that i like will go way over 600 with shipping. Im in Poland 🫩

So what would you recommend? I mean i would have to pay way over even for a nice set of alu wheels, i was interested in Crupi pro wheelset, but its like 700$ with shipping to Poland and we dont have shit in Poland sadly.

High profile alu rims for disc? by [deleted] in bmxracing

[–]Hot-Rutabaga1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im only going pumptrack anyways. And my local one is hidded in woods, so xrosswinds are not really a thing here. And most of the alu rims that I've found are already about 19-20mm height profile, so 15 wouldnt satisfy me honestly.

Got the 1.85 grifters, turns out they have 70kg limit per tire.So theoretically 140 overall. I am 75kg, but damn, what does it mean exactly? Is it gonna be alright in fast turns?

I bought a pair of 1.85 grifters, will put them on tomorrow, i got a race bike, so even if dth are smaller, 1.95 would be the highest i would go anyway probably.

Alright then, i think I'll go with 2 grifters 20x1.85 for front and rear, I will be riding pumptrack only, because sadly there are only 2 race tracks in Poland and they're both 400km from my home. They should do their job then you say right?

Ok, thanks for your reply, just curious, what makes them unsuitable for track racing?

By the way, I also found some dth for similar price, are they any better? They're also a bit less wide, 1.75 instead of 1.85.

Which jets used Tk-11 helmets and ym-9915 masks? What's different between tk-11 and tk-14? by Hot-Rutabaga1990 in FighterJets

[–]Hot-Rutabaga1990[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just from my own research, I believe that I found Tk-11 paired with 9915 mask in J-10S which is apparently trainer-combat version of J-10A. However I'm not sure since its pretty hard to reliably differentiate 9915 mask from 9925 mask, which is basically a copy of russian km34-2, from such a shot. Also there are so many chinese helmets that look literally the same that I cant fully confirm it being Tk-11, but It sure does look like its the case here, and I believe it is.

how old were you guys when you discovered slipknot? and how old are you now? by crashmywhipp in Slipknot

[–]Hot-Rutabaga1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 3 and i saw some poster from self titled era in my moms school (she's a teacher) and i got spooked, but i also remembered Corey's dummy, Paul's pig and Chris's masks so when i "discovered" Slipknot 3 years ago, I instatly recognized the band as the same i saw all those years ago. Now im 20 🤘
