Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 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.

Theunissa Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Okay then not that. EXO casing is far superior to non exo. what about forecaster or highroller 2. I know they cost more. But csn always wait abit. I read good reviews Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

FWIW I'd take the Forekaster over the Ikon & Ardent. 2.35 width. Exo casing. 3c compound. Theunissa and Dieter ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) 2
TAAHIRWP Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 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?

TAAHIRWP Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) 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. So gonna ride it for as long as I can. It's just so visually disturbing. Sent from my GT-I9190 using Tapatalk Edited March 6, 2017 by TAAHIRWP Paul Ruinaard 1

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...
Theunissa Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 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. So hope its same quality Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Odinson and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2
