Hairy Posted March 11, 2015 Share Have run Fast Tracks (and a Renegade, Purgatory and a Ground Control) on the rear before, but would never go with a flimsier sidewall than their std control casings. All those ridden were the std Control sidewall, never cut them, only found that on the rear I would prefer a tyre with a stiffer sidewall or the Spaz tyres in the Grid sidewall .... I am a big boned rider and find that the std Spaze tyres squirm, or rather fold a little easy a low pressure, the Grids should improve this. Spaz make decent marathon tyres.....just don't be a weight weenie, so no S-Verks sidewalls please.but we are digressing here ..... this is the All Mountain Tyre Thread Capricorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicoBoshoff Posted March 11, 2015 Share Hi Nico, ek het die naweek gerace met 'n Butcher voor en Purgatory (grid) agter. Was eers baie skepies maar ek het hulle 2.4psi gehardloop en love die kombinasie nou. Die butcher het serious baie grip in los, klipperige grond. Dit sou nice gewees het as hulle net so bietjie breër was though. Jou Stumpy is 'n niner mos? Heinrich Hattingh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockCoach Posted March 11, 2015 Share Just a thought... who is running what pressure on their Bronson / Wolverine combo? Firstly, not all pump gauges were born equal so my 1.7bar may be your 2.1. Secondly, dual or single ply sidewalls? Thirdly, depends on your weight... Fourthly, measured with my Birzman pump on dual ply casings. My 95kg heft enjoys 1.6 -1.7bar front and 1.8bar rear.

NGUTF Posted March 11, 2015 Share So here is a pick of my Race king sitting on the rear. I got it in November '14 if i remember correctly, the previous one got slit open while riding over some debris in a veld (my fault). I haven't posted any pics of the X king (installed in October '14) on the front as it is still in mint condition. http://i62.tinypic.com/2pqt0ug.jpg http://i62.tinypic.com/ifn511.jpg http://i62.tinypic.com/o7py4z.jpg http://i62.tinypic.com/2uj5vdi.jpg You can see who the side wall is starting to go kaput, and the nylon reinforcement is starting to show more and more. The missing knobs I have no clue about. I have been riding Conti's for years and have never had the problem. As I said previously, the LBS reckons its from road riding but I spend less time on tar now than before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been enjoying my Vigilante on the front. Have the Beeline on the back, which rolls quite nicely, though I have cut the sidewall once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bob Posted March 11, 2015 Share Firstly, not all pump gauges were born equal so my 1.7bar may be your 2.1.Secondly, dual or single ply sidewalls?Thirdly, depends on your weight... Fourthly, measured with my Birzman pump on dual ply casings. My 95kg heft enjoys 1.6 -1.7bar front and 1.8bar rear. For sure... I wasn't asking what I should run it at I was just interested in what people were running theirs at. I know gauges differ but things will enevitably fall in to a reasonably near measurement else there wouldn't be gauges in the cycling world and sheets of calculations for shocks, tyres let alone car tyres that need gauges. I've got mine dialled in nicely but it's always interesting to see what other people run from the nearly flat to the rock hard. It's the thing that make so much difference to how your bike rides so was just seeing who did what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
