Rip the floor apart with these babies, the back tyre is just dreamy very strong push with very little weight on it. Perfect for those up hill pushes when traction can be lowered by you hanging over the front end. Its designed with a bar in the middle of the tyre and triangular edges. The bar is great for forward speed and the diagonal sections perfect for stabalizing you into corners. Again this is a piece of kit I’ve been running for three years on one of my bikes (check out my other reviews for the rest of my cycle kit). If I’ve managed to run them for three years in the dales there long lasting worth whatever the guy (or gal) asks you to pay for them. My previous set went bald on the back end (I must loose some weight again), no, seriously I hadent had a rip or rim off session once, a couple of punchers but that’s to be expected. The front tyre I have had fun with, part I think caused by my set up – I like bar ends (don’t get me started) so I often ride far forward as you would in road race sprint it leads to a funny effect wear the front tyre can cause an over steer effect and I catapult my self into the distance when the wheel locks to 90o. That aside and myself been a freak I can't see anybody else having this problem. One important thing I’ve found is get the smaller tyre and fill the tube to bursting this gives for a harsher ride (more feed of those bumps to the seat!) but more resilience against everything else including I think punchers!
Nice tyres – you can buy lighter but for this low price! make sure you get the right size, Width as well as wheel circumfrance.
See me on a hill some day and say hi Eatcha (trust me you’ll recognise my kit!! LOL)
Advantages: Reasonable good grip Disadvantages: Weight
I used this on the rear of my mountain bike a few years ago. Not the greatest, grip is ok however as is puncture resistance.
Very heavy tyre however, and the rolling resistance is high, giving a tyre that feels slow and heavy to get going - and slugish to climb.
On singletrack it is limited by this too, though the performance does pick up when it is going downhill.
Problem is that unless you have an uplift, you are so worn out by dragging the ...
