TAAHIRWP Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Did you notice any blocks braking or cracking on the HR, especially side knobs? I sold mine because of this.on the older HR supertacky yes. On the HR II I have yet to notice any knobs breaking off. ive been on mine for what, 2months maybe?? but I have been riding them like 3 times a week on average.. surfaced roads included.

T-Bob Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Wheels, wait till next week. Local peeps bringing out some sick wheels had the privilege of checking them out.Lyne?
Capricorn Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Did you notice any blocks braking or cracking on the HR, especially side knobs? I sold mine because of this.Had an HR II on the rear wheel a while back. One session at G-spot and the side knobs were ripping off. Was quite ironic, because at the time fingers were pointing at Schwalbe as being the sole criminal when it comes to knobs ripping off. Not saying all that finger pointing wasn't justified,but really, one session? Lovely tire though. Would recommend it again, just perhaps not suited for the hardpack that is the lower sections of G-spot
Chavo Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Heard about the Lyne wheels as well, looking forward to their release. Any idea on pricing?

Super tacky or 3c will not last on hardpack.... friend of mine has the hans damf on the rear swears by them and at them! Tyre literally disintegrates some more every ride

Tyre literally disintegrates some more every rideword on the street that if you ride behind a rider with a HD on the rear, you have to wear goggles or some other form of eye protection to prevent a sever case of rubber fragments in your eyes just for jokes guys, just for jokes

Hairy Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 It's also an absolute dog of a tyre for pedalling.don't know hey, did not actually mind the HD on my old 26'er HT or 650B Trail bike ... rolling was fair with good straightline braking and decent feel in the corners ... but the HD on the front of the Trail bike is not my best friend...we get along, but definitely will not be inviting it over for braai ... unless it is to burn the tyre before replacing it with a DHF II or DHR II for the front
Sparky and the Warden Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 It's also an absolute dog of a tyre for pedalling.Yup find my minion rolls a lot easier! And that thing has some serious gnar rubber!

Well that's what's it like for me
Meezo Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Ohhhhhhh... #Excited. you close by, pop in there, Dayle is super chilled, the wheels are on the floor, and look solid.. he's Commi he's busy with also looks insane with them on
Chip Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Might be needing a new set of 650b wheels for my Banshee Spitfire...I'm sure the Lyne wheels will tick all the boxes...now will they just release them so we can all see!!!
Hairy Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Here I thought I was alone on this one... in a hard fast corner you think you're railing it... until you're not and you're on the ground in the dust looking like a chop! Well that's what's it like for meThat reminds me of exactly how my first ride on the Banshee was with the HD on the front ....... heart breaking hearing your helmet crunch when your head strikes the ground and you look up to see your newly acquired bike cartwheeling down the trail ... makes me nauseous just thinking about it. The HT and Duallie I had come off were running a DHF II and DHR II respectively on the front, and these always felt like they were hooking up and would take care of you, watch your back and be your wing-man.
