I've got an '05 ASX on the way and I'm trying to figure out how to lighten up its trail riding characteristics a bit. Tires and tubes are the easiest way to do that (and the only thing I can afford to change after paying for the bike.)
So, what sounds like the best way to lighten things up a bit while still handling dirt jumping and some mellower DH shuttle rides?
Run 1-ply tires with DH tubes
or
Run 2-ply tires with regular tubes?
Alternately, if both of those ideas are retarded, maybe I'll just run 2-ply tires with a DH tube in back and a regular tube in the front and just suck it up and pedal harder?
I only weigh 150 and there aren't a lot of big drops where I ride, really. Biggest I go is 8 feet to good transition.
Finally, here is a picture of someone's hawt black ASX that they posted in the bike porn thread.
NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT MY BIKE, JUST A SEXY PICTURE!
