Worn-Out, Pre-Skidded Tires For 'Fixie' Fashion Victims

Hey, "fixie" riders: You have the lean pants, the Kryptonite Evo Mini lock, and you assured your parents to let you have a sleeve tattoo. You even even managed to collect out a my-first-bike color-scheme more eye-searingly multicolored than those of your friends.

But what you insufficient is cred. To be more specific, what you insufficient is a back tire shredded down to the threads by the regular wheel-skipping and butt-twitching skids compulsory to slow down your brakeless machine. No matter. Just similar to the rest of your image, you can only go out and purchase it.

The pre-ruined tires in subject are lovingly worn-out Vittoria Randonneurs, and they're not unequivocally meant to casing your inner-tubes. They are in fact rsther than nice-looking bike apparel, belts done from aged tires that conflict stretching so you can bring your D-lock tucked in to it for as long as you like. And at only $30, they're flattering in accord with for something that will presumably final a very long time.

The Retired Belts product representation isn't wholly without pretensions, though. Try this:

This leather belt is a mystic representation of follow bike roving in San Francisco, as they are repurposed from tires talented from competently well-developed riders.

Still not snickering? Then what about this?

The away noteworthy movement patterns on your Retired Belt simulate any riders' experience on the tire and their ventures by the city.

Despite this, and the boisterous Craigslist ad that desirous the initial segment of this post, I'm still tempted, if only is to pewter snaps that reinstate the leather belt bend that would instead puncture in to your Pabst-based belly.
