    If you are going to ride the rain, get the wheels. If you have to make a last minute decision about tires, having them already mounted could save you the cost of crashing or entry fees for missing a race or two if the tire peeps are backed up. Im selling my pit bike and gonna look for a set of used wheels

    +1, spare wheels w/ rains will pay for themselves the first time, or couple, you need it. If you don't have em, and decide not to race... you'll save the risk of crashing, but you're still SOL with your entry fees. It's really a no-brainer. You can get a Pitbike whenever, and I'm pretty sure you'll end up getting one anyway...

    Sorry to let you down bud.

    Thing is, spare wheels are very fun! Use them to mount rains, intermediates or whatever you like. Hell, you can even mount some brand new hoops in preparation for your current ones to become shagged.

    If you get a chance to race in the rain, do it without reservation. It's amazing what rain tires are capable of.

    Now why would you say that? You WON a race in those conditions (actually, I think you won 2!)

    Noel,

    It is much easier to get a deal on a pit bike year round than it is to even find a second set of wheels. Be a responsible adult and get the wheels. Rain riding is the best.

    good sex is the BEST not that I'd know....closely followed by good pizza... Noel shitting himself in the RAIN is a close 7th behind watching my neighbors giant dog take a GIANT shit in the middle of my OTHER jerkoff neighbors well manicured obsessive compulsive lawn. then watching a meltdown occur.
