  1. Hi guys after being extremely happy with the full range of Maxxis tyres on my 26ers I have not had much luck with any tyre on my 27.5. I have tried Continentals - sidewalls leak Schwalbe - weak sidewalls several big tears Maxxis Crossmark - I have now lost 5 tyres to small sidewall tears just outside the rim area in about three months where I have really not been riding much. Tyres are inflated to correct pressures and I have taken care to seat and seal them 100% So I am at your mercy here I know many of you swear by contis and most by schwalbe with snakeskins on your 29ers but please if there are any guys or girls out there specifically with 27.5ers let me know what you use that does not 'poof' at the first sight of a few rocks. Also if there are any of you that use or have used the new Onzas please share your experience.
  2. The Vee Tire Co. Crown series features three new enduro/all-mountain tyres, designed with the help of former BMX and downhill world champion Mike King. Vee Tire Co. have been manufacturing well-respected OEM and value tyres for years. They recently began to take their offerings upmarket, first with fat bike tyres and now the Crown series. Although not a household name in South Africa, Vee Tire Co., along with their local distributor, are working hard to get our attention. Click here to view the article
  3. Hi, I am looking for MTB 29er tyres that are fast rolling but are strong as well. i don't want to puncture every 5 minutes, especially when going over rocks. I will be purchasing Mavic crossmax SL tubesless wheels. What would you guys suggest? I doesn't have to be Specialized. I was thinking of going with the 2 models but read too many negative reviews on them, the first getting alot of punctures: S-WORKS GROUND CONTROL 2BLISS READYFAST TRAK CONTROL 2BLISS READYI'm not a pro but I just want to ride faster, I currently use the Specialized ground control tyres but I feel there might be alot of drag. I ride a lot of trail that consists of rocky sections, singletrack and long gravel roads. Thanks Brendan
  4. Does anyone have experience with these tyres. I have removed and fitted a few tyres in my time but for the life of me I cannot get these on the rim, the tyre almost feels to small for a fit onto my Archers. Has anyone experienced the same thing

  6. Greetings, I am looking for a place to take old tyres to be recycled. All kinds (mtb 26/29, skinny's, bmx, etc). Pretoria or Joburg. Does anyone know of such a place? Thanks.
  7. I currently run Gatorskins on my road bike. With the 94.7 and then the Coronation DC coming up in November, I'm considering buying some tyres specifically for races. I'm no racing snake - I'm planning on a 3.15 94.7 and I run Campagnolo Zonda wheels on my Bianchi. The wheels are for clinchers. Questions: 1. Is there any value on considering going tubeless? I think the Zonda's can handle it. 2. Is it worth buying a race day set of tyres? 3. If yes to 2, which are best?
  8. Hey guys, The tyre I dream of : Specialized Roubaix Armadillo Elites 25mm The reality : S.A don't bring it in... Has anyone here imported tyres ?? If so what is the import duty & surcharge ?? And what is this LBS tell me that the market for 25 mm is small ... The worlds moving over to 25mm and SA is behind ? Why doesn't specialized bring in Roubaix Armadillo ? SA doesn't have the best roads.. How can this not be an option XD Anyway if you guys have any experience with importing tyres please let me know!!!
  9. Hi All I recently got a 29er with a Racing Ralph on the front and a Crossmark on the back (seems like a pretty standard set-up). The tyres seem worn, and I am really battling with which tyres i should replace these with... From the research I have done, it seems most 29er tyres have significant weaknesses (punctures, bad in the wet, heavy, poor sidewalls, high wear), especially in the price range I am looking at (R450 - R600 per tyre). I ride a variety of terrain, XC, trails etc. I was thinking of replacing both tyres with Rocket Rons, but these have got significantly poor reviews. The Racing Ralph doesnt seem to have a great deal of traction (am i wrong?). UST Crossmark's seem to wear well and are reviewed favourably, but are apparently not great in the wet, and are heavy. What about Maxxis Ardent's? What you think about those? I know they are also a little heavy at 800g, but if push comes to shove, I would rather have a slightly heavier tyre which is durable and trustworthy on the trail. Or would you recommend I keep the set-up the way it is? Both tyres are running tubeless.
