I;m splined.
if they made splined rims, we wouldnt even need tires. They're simply lazy and outdated.
would they use outboard bearingszedro said:if they made splined rims, we wouldnt even need tires. They're simply lazy and outdated.
what do you mean they arent splined? are you telling me that i paid an extra 100 bucks a tire for no reason?
well duh, how else would you get rid of the outdated spokesViolentVolante said:
some tires are splined. ever notice the little ribbing on the tire just above the bead on many tires. that is a traction spline. 
oh by the way the tire is some tihng the hardest thing to change. mich. on a matrix rim(you know the old good rims). this combo is almost impossible to get on and off!!

Yes, but I think you are missing the point that it could be even harder, and I'd vote for that.
Blurtlefickle!
what, never heard of crazy-glue?...Jm_ said:
...hmm just thought of something evil....
In absense of splined tires, the solution is simple, we will buy burley 24" tires and stretch them to fit on our 26" rims.
Why?
Why did we go to the moon? Why did we invent the internet? I DONT KNOW, but I do KNOW that we must make tires HARDER TO GET OFF.

ever break a steel tire lever taking off a dh tire. 24x3.0" arrows on sun double wide. we ended up cutting the rim(taco'd) to get the damn thing off!!!!
the hardness of getting of the tire has to do with the rim tire combo
peace

why dont we run on giant hubs? tires and rims are so redundant
do you mean like the secmic one's. the 6" flange versions
yes, just bigger. Oh and next time just saw through the whole rim, that'll releve the tension of the tire bead
i wish Ridemonkey was splined....
zedro we did saw thought the whole rim after breaking two steel tire levers! the really big spline rim call up those people that make cast magnesium bike wheel. you know the ones that made the first that i know of 6 pistion brake. they use to only make their brakes in red.
I eagerly await.
yeah, everything else about my bike is bolted, why the **** not my tires?Jm_ said:

I think one of theee worst combination tyre/rim is a Sun Ryno Lite and WTB anything folding. Oh man! :evil: :mumble:
I wish Mike Hawk was splined...zedro said:
Why? it's hard enough to fit in as is...zedro said:
that's why l prawl exclusively in RM
...........what if you applied SPD/ clipless technology to your saddle? Then you wouldn't need to ziptie pieces of tire to maintain traction while seated during the hairiest of rides?.!!! Affix the cleats to your baggies/ spandex & off you go........(or maybe NOT off....depends on the engagement system :devil: )
dood those were the worst thing ever! I would rather change dh tires with my bare hands that do that ****, thank god those days are over :nuts:Sir_Crackien said:

I think rhyno lites with any tire are the hardest combo to get on and off.
hell, no! rhynos are easy. the mostest evil rim is the tioga factory dh - i'm sure they're measurably larger in diameter. try mounting michelins on them. plastic levers are useless. the only thing that makes the job *somewhat* managable are my 8" steel park levers.
Why don't my tires bolt on? My truck has bead locks, why can't they make bike rims with bead locks? HHHmmmmmmmm.
but does is come with a g-boxMikeD said:
