popcorn_skollie Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 What's your weight btw, I weigh 105kg and nofearnofun also over 100. Just wondering if weight doesn't have anything to do with it.You running quite low pressure there at ~1.25bar, I'm currently running 1.6bar / 23psi up frontI weigh 63kg atm
Capricorn Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 I weigh 63kg atmwtf? is that in gauge or absolute???
popcorn_skollie Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 wtf? is that in gauge or absolute??? Its all relative though. Scaling I mean.Lighter means lower pressures. Smaller also means less power
Bizkit031 Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 EXACTLY!!! - I think it would be a great combo. I am yet to try a Magic Mary 2.35 SS front and ONZA Ibex 2.4 front and the Maxxis minions and high rollers - not very available... The Hans Dampf is ok but not great front and the Vigilante is GOOD - just needs a bit more beef. Get some 30mm internal spacing rims and that gives it more beef RockCoach 1
Bizkit031 Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 Its all relative though. Scaling I mean.Lighter means lower pressures. Smaller also means less power Smaller also means lower centre of gravity.
Capricorn Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 Smaller also means lower centre of gravity.or a more centered center of gravity Bizkit031 1
Capricorn Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 Its all relative though. Scaling I mean.Lighter means lower pressures. Smaller also means less power hahaha i know. but lighter also means lower acceleration requirements, higher corner entry and exit speeds, better energy management etc. more pluses than negatives.

Meezo Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 hahaha i know. but lighter also means lower acceleration requirements, higher corner entry and exit speeds, better energy management etc. more pluses than negatives. that's a mouth full... in summary #enduro
Capricorn Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 that's a mouth full... in summary #enduro which reminds me: did you rock up at the Delvera event?
Meezo Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 which reminds me: did you rock up at the Delvera event? nope! Sundays I've got other commitments...Would of loved to be there, saw the hubbers hubbing about, i bet you'd realize i post more than i ride(downhill/am/trail/enduro)...
Capricorn Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 nope! Sundays I've got other commitments...Would of loved to be there, saw the hubbers hubbing about, i bet you'd realize i post more than i ride(downhill/am/trail/enduro)... oh yes! Taahir did mention that. Quel dommage! Perhaps you could join the event at welvenpas? it's over a sat and sun, and you can do either day or both days. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) I weigh 63kg atmLIGHTIE!!!! sharpied?? It's the single most popular tyre on EWS, DHI & so on, and is used by the majority of riders. Even those sponsored by other tyre manufacturers often get the Magic Mary, and "blank out" or "sharpie" the white text on the sidewalls so as not to piss their sponsors off. It's THAT good. Especially in Super Gravity guise. Vertstar compound for the ultimate in face-shredding grip, though that'll only last about 12.75 rides due to the extra super soft compound. Trailstar compound is perfect for most all conditions though. Grippier than shaite on a blanket, and with the SG casing, that thing is unbeatable. Definitely going back to that after my Ibex 2.4 FRC has given up the ghost. Oh - and compared to the Hans - BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! For a Hans to be even in the same category of grip, it MUST be mounted on a wide rim (30-35mm internal) and be inflated to super ultra low pressures. THEN it grips. Oh - as for knobs shredding from the tyre - it was a batch problem, and MOST modern tyres are victim to it, unfortunately. Also - no less tyre life than competitors.

Sparky and the Warden Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 My 10 cents on this topic is Ibex 2,4 FR front with slaughter grid casing 2,3 on the rear (summer setup) then for winter Ibex 2,4 FR front with Citius 2,4 FR on the rear super amounts of grip however small draw back its pretty heavy but then its not about the trip up but bombing downhill with an ear to ear grin spattered with bits of mud! ????

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 :clap: this... now i need a excuse for saturday DOOOOO EEEEET!!! Cite mental instability or something. Be there. See you then! Meezo 1
