 +===== 1978 Snake Belly =====
 +
 +Cycle Pro's biggest contribution to mountain biking was the first purpose built, lightweight off road tire, the Snake Belly.
 +The following is copied from the section on [[https://mtbtimeline.com/wiki/tech/tires|tires]]:
 +<blockquote>
 +Everything changed when the Snakebelly tire, the first lightweight fat tire, and the first wide aluminum rim made by Ukai became available.  Now it was possible to build an awesome mountain bike! I started building CCPROTO in 1978, designing every part from the ground up for minimum weight and maximum performance((The 1978 [[cc:start#s1978|CCPROTO]] overall weight was 26 pounds.)).
