Went out for a skid and a few hops on the Kos earlier tonight. The Hookworms are great tyres. They work well on or off pavement and for such big balloons the bike turns really quickly. They are made for the big hits too.
So far changed Handlebars, saddle, seat post, chain wheel, chain, grips, tyres, added chain tensioners, and a bunch of stickers.
The lights are LED with rubber strap mount for whatever bike I'm using that night. It's a fun ride that can take a bit of abuse.
This is it in Track Mode with pads, plate and Halo H Block rubber - which I like and are are good for dirt and off road. Too buzzy for much pavement use though.
And Stock - The day I bought it with quite aggressive knobbies that I ended up putting on my MTB for off roading.
