Jim C Bike Check!
03.21.09
Check out this Warm Red Sunday Second Wave kit I built up recently. It has 20.75 inch tube top length and the back wheel is run at 14 inches to provide me with a little extra comfort for bunnyhops and manuals. I use Morning 2.1 forks and put Forumph bars on because the 4 degrees of upsweep feels better to me. Click on the photo to see the full view and a bunch of closeups! What do you think of the tires? I’m way into them!

reed[...] Jim C has a bike check up on Sunday. There are bike checks with Paul Horan and Chris Mahaffey up too while you’re at it. [...]
Jim C, Paul Horan & Chris Mahaffey Bike Checks. / The Come Up / BMXNice bike. Why do you run RHD and grind on the right?
Tomthose are just like the xs or schwinn tires from back in the day…..I loved em then and I love em now.
Tim B.The seat hieght is a plus! I’m 36 and I came from the seatpost gneration. The color of this ride too much. Met Jim C when he was on Road Fools the Florida tour. Nice guy! Oh, and cruisers rule!
EdHey Tom, I ride RHD on my grind side because LHD would get in the way for some grind tricks that I like to do. Plus I come from the old school where LHD just looks weird. Never felt like I should change, but that’s just my opinion.
The red sidewalls are common I guess throughout road biking and I think XS did it way back. I’m pretty stoked on it.
jimcjim, you say you run your rear end at 14 in ,
ajso what is a second wave slammed?
A second wave and an Ian slammed are 13.75 while an Aaron frame can go all the way down to 13.25.
jimchows that? wouldnt a second wave rear end slammed be like 13.5 or something
AJback end on a 2nd wave is 13.6 slammed. and yeah xs did redwalls they were called huckers. you could get them with kevlar in the tire casing.
brandonoh 13.6 is that with chain tensioners in? Bcuz i remember jim siad that with chain tensioners ur gonna have like 3mm of space in there
ajThat really looks kick ass man. I hope those tires go on sale soon. That’d be sweet
