My guess is that there are too many issues with them which makes them a pain to deal with as people always want to return them. Just a guess...I would love to sell them, but with all the POTENTIAL issues it is more of a headache than it is worth unfortunately.

NIKONf8 your sled to me seems perfect! I told you this before, but I think it's the best looking sled on the forum.

You need a 2nd bike to mod it sounds like, lol. You have the same sikness most of us have, obsession.

The only thing I would do to that sled is take pictures and ride it, JMO

Good luck with the 21" bro, cause I know your gonna do it lol.

I had a terrible time with a vee rubber tire i bought from ride wright they sent me a crappy tire jaggit edge on the white wall tire was not seated correctly and the tube was pinched all this from ride wright who charges just about double for there wheels and then ships you something that should have never left the shop. To top this off the people here on the forum have a habbit of removing your posts when you bash a sponsor which is totally wrong. I laid down the facts which were all true and they removed my post. I believe other members have a right to know how some of us get treated like dirt. There is no way my post should have been removed i checked for over an hour and its gone this is censorship and should not be allowed by the forum. we have the right to let members know our experience with these dealers so they can make an educated purchase. The vee rubber tire i got from Ride Wright was a piece of crap and they were charging me $300 for it. I sent it back and they broke my ***** and half stepped on a refund. I got one but not from them from the dealer i went through when i made the purchase check this link its all thats left from my posts ride wright said i was the only one complaning check the tire and the poll over 90 out of 100 said they would not accept the tire so i guess ride Wright is full of it

Hi Nikon,

Can you tell me how the tyre rides, apart from the obvious issues with the white wall does it handle well? Any issues in the wet?

How does it compare to other tyres you've run in the past?

Dont be a tight-****....buy the best. Diamondack Tires, ask for Tab and have a whitewall put on a real tyre.
Vee rubber = cheap ****.
Period.

The Vee is a second rate tire. Mine rides good and is wearing good. I dont ride much in the rain but i havent dumped it yet. Its not as white as the DB tires but i dont clean my tires much either...its no show bike. All that being said mine has been decent but who knows what you would get. Maybe mine was the best one they ever made lol

I put the vee rubber 21' on my rkc and love it. I didn't lower front end at all. Just put the front wheel on and handles great in rain or shine even at high speed.
