Urban Assault anyone? (New Toy)

Here's my new Uni... Just put the Hookworm on last night... Makes a big
difference over the stock knobbie. (at least for learning). This will
make the third "cycle" that I have Hookworms on... I love these
things!

It's also a parasitic worm that lives in the intestine.

EDIT: A dx with a hookworm? Cool.
Doesn't riding that involves that tire usually require shorter cranks
though?
I dunno its sorta a hybrid.

What do you need front panniers racks for on an xtracycle? That would
have to be some incredibly heavy touring.

And pretty heavy duty road riding on the uni, too.

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he rides big
street(might be implied in thread title, again, dunno)

Yeah, heavy touring is pretty much how I roll... I weigh 325, so I'm
not super picky about weight on the Xtracycle... Origionally, I had
only the stock rear rack on the Safari, but soon swapped my Xtracycle
kit over.

The Hookworm Tires are great because they have a super tough/stiff
single ply casing that holds it's shape very well. The surface of the
tire is also textured with very small little "pyramid" shapes; that
seem to stick to any surface rediculously well...
If there is anyone looking for a great street tire, this is it! The
size is 24x2.5 . The stock tire on the dx was a 2.6, so there is not
very radical change in tire size overall...
