    im running NN TL easy up front with a Vittoria Saguro on the rear. im really keen to try the new Vittoria Mezcal G+ when it is available here
  2. Mawbs
    i recently put a Saguaro on the rear to replace the NNic and it rolls so much faster. im super keen to try Vittoria's new MEZCAL g+ but dont think its available here yet

    can definately confirm the new NN doesnt break away on hard surface at all . Did good 50k plus on it Sunday and even a 2bar it stuck no problem. Next time out im going to drop pressure a bit as well. Only thing left to see is how long it lasts.

    so late saturday arvey im prepping my bike and see that my old tires tear is again showing a big hole and decide im going to put on my NEW 2015 Nobbly Nic. its 6.00pm already and i want to do it tubeless which is sometimes a daunting task with tyres. well the new NN TL easy is exactly that EASY, i quick pop down to the garage and literally 3mins later it is sorted with Stans in and ready to roll. I check it again at 9.00pm just to make sure it hasnt gone down...all smiles no problem. Actuall riding it feels like it rolls faster and the grip levels are great, we were bombing some of Giba,s SS tracks at almost 40kmh and not once did the rear feel like it would break out. Now i will start to reduce the pressure and find the sweet spot.

  16. Mawbs

  21. Mawbs

  22. Mawbs
    well mabey there might be a good ending to my problem, just had a phone call to say they will be hand delivering the tyre this morning.
  23. Mawbs
    yes i was told upon initial email that it would be approx 2weeks, that was on Jan16th.. i only managed to pay on the 23rd ( had a hiccup ) then when i enquired on 27th as to ETA i was told end of the week...and 22 emails later all sent by me asking whats happening im still waiting. Never once have the contacted me first to tell me whats going on.
  24. Mawbs
    oh so im not the only one who has been waiting a month now for my tyre.....grrrrrr BAD service = won't buy there again
  25. Mawbs
    no it was X1 26er . i would honestly say that possibly a Tad slower on the uphills but only because the anthem was a kg or 2 lighter, on the flats im sure the Trance is slightly quicker and downhill it,s definately quicker....and off course way more FUN ....and the FUN part is exactly why i went for the trance in the first place. Now just to change the *&%# Float for a RS and add a dropper post and then it will be ..wooohoooooo
