Samson 42" Cholos?

Anybody out there looking forward to the new Samson 42" Cholos? Kenny informed me today that they should be ready to go on the market next week. I am curious as to what they will look like and how much less ground clearance you will have with them. I might even talk myself into getting a set.

3" more. You know what she says.

I am getting 36"'s myself as I ride a lot of canyons and I am sure even they will scrape a lot.

Progressive suspension has a new air ride available where when you loose all air the bike rises instead of dropping. We have this suspension on our Cholo bike with the 39's on it. The ground clearance is amazing. Instead of pumping the bike up the suspension pumps the bike down. What a great idea for the longer pipes.
Thank you,
JR

I have a friend that is running some custom made pipes too. I believe they are like 48s also. If they don't sell them make them yourself. Samson probably just trying to catch up on all these custom made fishtails out there.

I think the 39" cholos are my limit also. Anything longer and they will hit the ground when I slam it. I am thinking of making a custom bober style rear fender with quad longtails..

hahahaha im going to make my own pipes here soon i asked samson see if they would kick it up and make some different tips and what not but they said no hahahahaha. Shops need variety not the same thing over and over in my opinion.
