Ordered last week from Clever Training (with DC Rainmaker 10% discount).

 

Managed to get them before the cANCer's leader opened his mouth again.

 

One for me, and another for a training mate.

may just have committed the ultimate sin. 

 

Bought a Specialized Slaughter Grid tyre for the rear of my Giant Reign, to complement my Schwalbe Magic Mary front tire.

Does it come with spare tubes and puncture repair kit?

$364 each

I took the 105 5800 option which includes the PM and crankarm (LHS).

 

$399 is the normal price, less 10% and then $9.99 for a 2 working day delivery.

 

At R13.89/$ it's just over R5k

Review that bad boy up. I was tempted by one of those but heard things about the flex of the casing and toughness issues.

Hmmmmmm....

 

It's for that reason that I went for the grid version. Ie reinforced sidewalls.

I got one on my spare wheel. Its ok on hard pack but I found its very twitchy on the loose stuff and on High speed fire roads, oh and dont ride it in the wet.

Also bought cause it was cheap.

I bought it cos I loved the Rock Razor in pretty much all conditions, and wanted a faster rolling rear tyre which still corners like a beeeeeyatch. I know it has almost no straight line braking ability, but I'm prepared to live with that given that I'm predominately braking in the front (except to moderate my speed) and I like a loose rear. 

 

If it fails, so be it. I'll have tried it and seen what it can do. But given that it has the same side knobs as a purgatory Butcher, I reckon it'll go quite well.

 

Oh - I loved the RR in the wet. It added a bit of knyp when the bike was upright... And sliding into corners due to the small middle blocks, then having the tyre dig in and just GRIP was nice!

Was these or some Spanks. The fact that these were half the price of the Spanks kinda sealed the deal... 

 

They arrive on Monday, hopefully.
