MaxxisCC trials tire FROZE.

Well, its been pretty cold here lately, the other day it was around -23
F (30 centagrade) and today its a little warmer, around -15 F.

I knew the Maxxis Creepy Crawler doesnt handle cold very well, but when
I went out to ride it a little bit ago, the tire was completly solid.
Hopping is very hard, it feels like the tire pressure is very very
high. But the last time I rode it in warm weather I left it at 25 PSI.
Not only does it not work for hopping, but just -riding- it it is slow
and sluggish. It was as if the rubber froze solid.


Any other tire I have on my unicycles works in the cold just fine. My
muni, 2.6, behaves normally, my older DX with the Kenda K-rad 2.3 is
just fine. But the Maxxis CC is a big no-no in the cold. As you can see
at the end of 'this thread' (http://tinyurl.com/co5kg), the tire
wanders off the rim when you take it from cold to warm too fast.


This tire sucks if you live in a colder climate. So im stuck not being
able to ride my trials in the winter.

Okay, I figured Bedford is the place I would end up going.

As far as I can find, they don't. They have the maxxis, try-all, and
echo mod tires, but no Luna.


I need help finding a place to buy a Luna, because buying one from
Bedford will cost $16 shipping, for a total of $46!

What should I do?
