I would say that under any condition....asphalt, concrete, clay, dirt, the Big Joe is gonna last 2-3 times longer.
Depends on what you are gonna doo with your ride. If you're gonna race (and these are your only two choices) definately Bowtie! Gonna bash around, I'll still say bowtie unless longevitiy is the most important factor, then the Big Joes!
I agree. If your going to be playing on multiple surfaces, go with the big Joe's.
If your going to race only, the bowties will work better on a track, but will wear out on concrete or asphalt, the big Joe's wont
