Headshot Posted May 27, 2013 Share Got a pair of Maxxis Ignitor UST's on my bike at the moment. Pro's - cheap from CRC - tough and long tread life - not really a rear tyre by the look of it, but grips like crazy at the rear on the tech ups. Cons- heavyish - way narrower looking than the claimed 2.35 written on them. Overall a good option if ya on a budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddy Gordo Posted June 4, 2013 Share I have had 2.2 ardents front and back, they are very nice tyres. However one day my front wheel slipped while cornering. This was probably die to too much speed, but non the less I started looking around. I settled for a 2.4 rubber queen, and man I am loving this tyre, it has tons of grip amnd allows one to carry so much speed with the ardent on the rear.

wesley_r Posted June 4, 2013 Share But I did some windowshopping yesterday and buycycle.co.za is selling the MK II Protections and X-king protections for less than landed CRC price... so I may go local. Heads up - my MK II protection chucked knobs, and those it didn't chuck disintegrated. Onto Onza Ibex FRs now and loving them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_mil Posted June 4, 2013 Share Just added a WTB Bronson to my bike. Running it on the back. Seems to do the trick (fills with air and rolls nicely along the ground). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redlight Posted June 4, 2013 Share if you are running tires, does a runner ride a pair of shoes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Omega Man Posted June 4, 2013 Share Ask and ye shall receive That's the 2.5 - AFAIK the 2.35 doesn't come in UST. BUT apparently you can run it tjoopless without hassles?I've run single ply minnion 2.35 tubeless without hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR ◣◢ Posted June 4, 2013 Share Hans Dampf 2.35 on the front, and WTB Weirwolf on the back. Wonderful combo I find the HD very sensitive on loose gravel on hard packed dirt. Very good tyre but just a bit sensitive to weight distribution. Absolutely insane on lightly loose soil! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted June 4, 2013 Share I find the HD very sensitive on loose gravel on hard packed dirt. Very good tyre but just a bit sensitive to weight distribution. Absolutely insane on lightly loose soil! Experienced the same, but what pressure are you running at? The snakeskin sidewalls allow for quite a bit of pressure drop before you get tire roll under hard cornering, something that occurs damn easily on a maxxis tyre under 'normal' low pressure conditions. It's near those pressures that the HD works better on loose gravel over hardpack. But you'll have to play around abit. I think i dropped mine to about 1.9bar. Worked super well.

Sitting on 2.0 bar I think. Will drop a bit more. I know it was 30psi. Will drop to 1.9 and test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_mil Posted June 4, 2013 Share Rubber Queen 2.4 works. okay. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR ◣◢ Posted June 4, 2013 Share okay. thanks Based on the same section of trail and the same type of riding. Rubber Queen worked better than the HD in that situation. Won't bank on it for other scenarios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
