Grease_Monkey Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 That describes me too dude. Maybe I'm just lighter? Describes me too, and I'm more than 100kg... I've never had a single issue with Exo and most of my riding is done at Jonkers. Also done Ezel and Klipberg with Exo casing with no flats, burps, pinch flats, or dinged rims. Maybe I'm just slow.

Meezo Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Confession : Been running DHF 2.5 WT on 30mm ID for more than 3 years now... Never experienced the "death gap" Bought an extra and a Assegai DD should last me another 10 years or so stefmeister and Hairy 2
Piston ZA Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Quick question when referring to the "death gap" on the DHF. Is that the transition from centre knobs to side knobs when leaning over where there is a lack of grip, feels like the tyre is going to wash out? If so, I get that feeling with my DHF.

Hairy Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 I go too fast to experience the death gap ..... I can understand if you guys are so slow that when you lean over the bike and take half a day around a corner that you will feel this death gap ... just go super fast and you will transition so quickly and lightly that you won't even know it exists ..... Moral of the story, ride more like Greg Minnar and me ... I taught him all he knows you know! Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, Redrush, Heinrich Hattingh and 1 other 4

Not as bad as the old Butcher, but still there. Piston ZA 1

Falling Over Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 I'm actually looking for some new grips now so I'm trying to see who makes yellow grips, bars and seat post clamps to match the decals on my Shock off a Giant Reign..... DMR Deathgrips are available in a ridiculous bright yellow. T-Bob and Jewbacca 2

Not as bad as the old Butcher, but still there. Flip man, had a bad wash out a while back with my previous tyres (stock Bonrager XR3), so decided to put a DHF on thinking it would help with grip and bring back some cornering confidence. I swear, it almost feels worse. I don't think I ride aggressive enough to get the most out of the DHFs. On that note, how is the DHF for a rear tyre? Considering moving the DHF to the rear and getting a DHR2 or even Assegai for the front.
