Odinson Posted March 14, 2018 Share If you okes were ridding in softer, muddier conditions, what would your choice be: Front: Minion DHF, High Roller II or Shorty - all in 2.5" WT DD. Back: Aggressor 2.5" WT DD or Minion DHR II 2.4" WT DD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s14phoenix Posted March 14, 2018 Share minion DHR rear... think it might clear mud better than the Aggressor - could get clumped up and the paddle tread pattern would aid grip. Shorty front - better for the soft muddy wet the others seem for drier conditions... or mixed.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 14, 2018 Share Shorty and DHR. DHF also works well for a rear tyre. Edited March 14, 2018 by Myles Mayhew Odinson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odinson Posted March 14, 2018 Share Shorty and DHR. DHF also works well for a rear tyre. Probably the combo that'll be the slowest rolling, but with the best grip. If only my feckin' Der Barons will die. AAARGH! Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermophage Posted March 14, 2018 Share Just rebuilt wheels at Stoke yesterday, thanks a million to Droo.The tosser who built the wheels previously (no names mentioned...here) used all alu nipples (against my request or level of knowledge at the time) as well as 75% of the spokes being TOO long.Droo sorted this out ASAP...And now for FRESH rubber which went onto them last night in preparation for Kingdom Enduro next week.Magic Mary 2.35 Supergravity up front2.6 Specialized Slaughter GRID rear with FOAMO as well...Takign no chances.LOVE the old Slaughter and the new wider one (which is not particularly wide IMHO) has ever so slightly higher centre knobs and feels way tackier so very much looking forward to playing around on it!

Spez' seem to suffer from the over stating issue that Maxxis have as well. That 2.6 butcher I checked yesterday was only really about a 2.4 and looked on par (if not a little slimmer) that my old Ibex 2.4. Quite annoyed they aren't making the Slaughter in 2.6 for 29'rs. Kingdom the sh*t out of them! Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thermophage Posted March 15, 2018 Share So...put it all back together. New red valves too...It's overkill colour scheme, but it's evolved that way.And yes.,..the 2.35 Mary is Wider than the 2.6 Slaughter on my 30mm internal width rims.But the slaughter looks sick, much nicer than the old 2.3 version. All in all looking damn fine if I may say so myself and ready for Kingdom Enduro next week..although I think there will be a customary full brake bleed before...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 15, 2018 Share Those using foamo or hucknorris what’s the thoughts worth it? Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkRunning FOAMO DD at the rear in a 2.3 aggressor, slaughter and Citius before that. DO IT. It's saved my rims from numerous dings and is great for when you have a slow puncture and no sealant. Eddy Gordo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddy Gordo Posted March 15, 2018 Share Yeah, I have foamo on both bikes rear wheels. Very noticeable on the HT on bigger hits. Havent done the front wheels yet, dunno if I will.Stressed Eric is running the Huck Norris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
