Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 6, 2017 Share It'd be between 2 & 3 depending on whether the Ardent is the 2.2 or 2.4 version. If 2.4, then that. If the smaller one, then go for the Ikon 2.4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW I'd take the Forekaster over the Ikon & Ardent. 2.35 width. Exo casing. 3c compound. Theunissa and Dieter ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAAHIRWP Posted March 6, 2017 Share Sorry to just drop in.. have a tyre question. My front tyre which is a purgatory (GRiD) on an Arch ex 29" rim, is running skew ...before I got the tyre to inflate, it exploded off the rim. the rim is perfectly true, but the tyre looks like it is "buckled" <<<for lack of a better way to explain.. How do I get it right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAAHIRWP Posted March 6, 2017 Share Bead is stuffed.Okay.. but it is seated now and it's been around 80km later... so... I'm a bit lazy to take off.. New rubber=money.

It's just so visually disturbing. Sent from my GT-I9190 using TapatalkUmm - it's more than visually disturbing - its likely pretty dangerous. Think of it like this: Would you drive your car at 120Km h on the highway with a bubble in the sidewall? If yes then leave it - otherwise you have destroyed the sidewall and its dangerous. You land on that hard and it will likely blow into bits. Rims need rubber for traction... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theunissa Posted March 7, 2017 Share Went out and got ground control grid 2.3 instead of tge forecaster. Nobody has the forecaster instock here in pta. And its also R100 more.
