Theunissa Posted March 7, 2017 Share Excellent choice. The Ground Control in the (tougher) GRID casing is a very good general purpose trail tyre.i hope so didnt like the crossmark washing out under me. It kind of spoils it.

Odinson Posted March 7, 2017 Share i hope so didnt like the crossmark washing out under me. It kind of spoils it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The Ground Control offers a lot more traction than a Crossmark can. Also play around with pressures. The GCs like slightly lower pressures - just don't go too low to the point where the tyre might burp or roll. Theunissa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theunissa Posted March 7, 2017 Share I didn't know you can seat a tyre in less than 2 min. With out getting soap all over you or floor and having to use straps and all kids of funn positions to seat a tyre. Im already liking this tyre. I haven't even put sealant yet and its already 100%Sealed Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and popcorn_skollie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theunissa Posted March 8, 2017 Share Is it necessary to put sealant in grid or lust tyre. Specialized says i shouldn't put in the grid tyre? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalknot necessary, but if you want it to reseal after puncturing then yes. And that's BS of the highest order. Grid tyres and sealant work perfectly Theunissa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorro5614 Posted March 8, 2017 Share What front and rear tyres would you guys recommend for general trail riding? I have to do a lot of tarmac riding to and from trails. Trails are not that technical. Looking for something light with reasonable puncture protection. I use AC Wide Lightning wheels so tyres up to 2.25 is more than wide enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henningvr Posted March 8, 2017 Share I use Fast Trak 2.1 grid on rear and Ground Control 2.3 grid front. I do general trail riding, and a mix of tarmac and dirt road to and from trails. So far I have been impressed with both these tyres in both grip and toughness categories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love2fly Posted March 22, 2017 Share Hi this may be slightly off topic: I recently had MTB tubeless conversion done in Cape Town and sealant they used is Al's.I have seen a comment on Bikehub that it is a bit thin - Can I just top it up with another sealant like Fuggit/Stan's etc or must the whole,lot be washed out??
