  2. Hi Guys, I have a mate that recently got into MTB. He as an XC hard tail and is looking to go tubeless. Can anyone recommend a durable set of tubeless ready tyres on a tightish budget. I personally go for Maxxis UST. They're heavy but durable. But they're also not cheap. Continental-mountain-king is on special for R295 each but I also don't know how durable they are. I seem to remember them getting quite a few sidewall punctures. https://www.evobikes.co.za/continental-mountain-king-pure-grip-tl-26-x-2-2.html Any advice is welcome. I think R1000 or just over would be his max spend, and ideally less if something is a good compromise. Cheers!

  4. I've been meaning to get into road cycling for a while now and, now that I have my own road bicycle, I'm worried about getting flats. I haven't ridden it yet as I've had no time for that. But I've seen these set of tires online that everyone seems to praise due to their resistance to sharp objects such as thorns and broken glass. How well do they work on the roads of South Africa? I ride a lot in the Waterkloof, Pretoria area, for reference.

  8. I am looking at changing over from my current 25mm road tyres to 28mm road tyres. I really like Continental Grand Prix 4000's, but can't seem to find any in 28mm locally (I know they do make them in this size as you can get these from CRC). Anyone know of a shop that stocks these or can get these?
  9. I have a hardtail 29er which I use principally for my 14k commute (50/50 trails and road). I currently have Continental X-King Protection tyres set up with tape and sealant to run tubeless. I bought the bike second hand and the tyres have never been completely true - my attempts at taking them off and re-seating them have only made things worse. Both front and back tyres have quite a lot of lateral wobble that I am fairly sure is due to misshapen tyres rather than poor seating or a bent rim. Should I bother to replace the tyres? They seem to run okay, but they bug me quite a bit. Thanks in advance.
  10. Hi Guys Need some input... Of late, I have been doing a bit more riding than usual (road), and I'm getting a bit concerned around the potential wear and tear on my wheels and tyres... Also, if I have a wheel issue or require truing I'll be stuffed. I am currently running a set of Mavic R Sys with the Continental Gp4000s tyres. The replacement cost on the wheels are substantial. I am therefore contemplating getting a training wheel set (Mavic aksiums currently on sale at CWC for R2000 along with a set of Conti Gatorskins. Will probably use the R Sys for longer weekend rides maybe. Would this be a good move? Or am I wasting money. Also considering getting the 25c in the Gatorskins. Your input will be appreciated.
  11. 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.
  12. Hi people I currently have a Scott Spark 60 2012 model and need to replace my tires. Currently have 2.1 x 26 Maxxis Larse TT Lust UST Tubeless and I notice that I have to inflate up too 2.3 ~ 2.5bar not to hit the rim when going through rocky trails. So I have two options, loose weight or get wider tires.....thus me looking for wider tires. I was looking at getting Michelin Wild Gripper Tubeless 26 x 2.25 at http://www.evobikes.co.za/tyres/mtb-26-tyres/michelin-wild-gripper-tubeless-26-x-2-25.html going for R500each Any other suggestions or is it a good tire?
  13. Hi Guys Has any one had any experience with Continental GP4000 tubs as I will be replacing my Continental Gator skins next week that came with the wheel set. I will be only be racing with them and looking to save some weight compared to the Gator skins. Do the Continental GP4000 have a good puncher protection vs the Continental Competition, I know they not as light but they are ±1000 cheeper for the set. I know a big part of it comes down to luck just trying to minimise the chances of getting a flat. If its a neither here or there ill obviously go with the Competitions. Any comments will help greatly.
