Just get something reasonable quality in the biggest size your bike will take. These are not bad: http://www.probikekit.com/display.php?code=Y1320

Get some Kenda Nevegal 29ers. 700c x 55. You will be the cock of the block, my friend.
On some real shit, I’ve been riding panaracer stradius pro’s for about a month now. They say they get flats easy, but I’ve yet to have one. I r not skidz either.
Up front… GP4000S. Been running a regular 4000 on the commute forever, that thing rarely ever gets flatted and rides oh so nice.
Back rear… whatever’s free from the dumpster, but otherwise, whatever’s under $25 if you skid a lot, and under $35 if you don’t. I taught myself to ride exclusively by backpedaling and very light skipping by riding a Pro Race 2 in the rear (used/free). Learn to do the same.
Solid advice. Rode with a fixie kid who took every opportunity possible to skid a couple days ago. Annoying as hell. Should also mention his riserz are chopped down to near stem touching width. Pretty funny seeing him pumpin’ away from a stop, all of which he shakily tarckstanded.
yeah those dudes typically have less than a year of riding under their belt. i’ve seen kids exactly the same description… rolling at 12mph, into the stop light… NUTS TO STEM SKID YO!!
i am proud to say ive been riding brakeless for the last month {not my first time riding brakeless}, and havent skidded on concrete once
