RacerX, you got any tips for me?

Hi All I realize the topic of mountain bike tires has been covered on many occasions, but the tread life on my pair of WTB Moto Raptors is depleting and I think I am looking for quite a specific tire set. I am looking for quite large tires, with good puncture protection and big knobblies, excuse the primitive terminology. I ride a single speed Mountain Cycle with 26 inch wheels. The wheels are Planet X(rear)/Formula(front) hubs built into SUNRIMS Rhyno Lite rims. I currently ride WTB Moto Raptor 2.4 55/60 on the front and rear wheels. What does the 2.4 refer to? They are not tubeless. I have not had any issues whatsoever with tubes, I use Sludge and tire liners, have not had a puncture yet. With the new tires, I would like to use Kenda Downhill tubes, they are thorn and pinch proof apparently. On the other hand, I have only heard good things about tubeless, I am also considering that option. I ride in Tokai Forest and Rhodes memorial predominantly, and enjoy single track over jeep track. I am not concerned by the weight of the tire at all, I am more concerned about puncture resistance and durability. I like the look of the Kenda Nevegal, 2.5" DH tires on the GT DHI PRO. I think this is a downhill specific tire. How is the all round performance of this tire? Perhaps I am too concerned with the size of the tires right now, this is where your opinions on my case will be appreciated. Your opinions and insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

WTB Moto Raptor 2.4 Best tires I have ever used, not a single puncture after +1000kms.

WTB?

I thought you were downgrading?!

Can't wait to see the final product! Don't leave us in anticipation too long please The Crow!

I have taken my pedals off my mtb, done approximately 1000km on them. The bearings feel a bit rough, and I am a bit concerned about them. Does anyone own and/or know how to open these up to clean them if there is some sand inside? I presume the dirt is on the bridge where the axle goes into the pedal body so I don't need to do a complete overhaul. Thanks

Very very nice. No criticism from my side!

Jokes aside, what is a LSD diet? Low sugar diet?

What is LSD thing?

Very very nice Edman, I wish you many happy miles on that Beaut.

Ride up the single track that is of course

HE HE I do that all the time

Look out at the next few races, won't be surprised if they pop up on a cyclist.

Are you referring to the one advertised by veyron.? Yes, it is a good bike in my opinion.

Quite a solid upgrade! Enjoy!

Ultegra 10 speed chains are notoriously weak, well from my experience. KMC should be better yes. The chain will skip if your cassette teeth are worn though, but I doubt it if the grouppo is only six months old.

Very very good buy. You can't go wrong with them.

WOW, looks absolutely awesome. Did you have to ride early in the morning to avoid the heat?

So typical, you won't believe mine. They stole my brother's shoes.
