Iwan Kemp Posted June 6, 2013 Share I'll take the bait, but I feel that's a very indirect way of you asking for me to post a pic of the Ibis. Edited June 6, 2013 by The Crow Steven Knoetze (sk27), ChUkKy, javburg and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

divernick Posted June 6, 2013 Share I would like to know how long a HD lasted as a rear tyre doing all-duty rides: XC, AM, commuting etc. ie. how good is it as an all-round, do-everything tyre. For when my Nobby Nics wear out.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smolly Posted June 6, 2013 Share Come on. Mine go on tonight. Some feedback please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwan Kemp Posted June 6, 2013 Share Getting mine this month! Cannot wait. Are they as good as I imagine them to be?Yes. (And that is the long answer!)I would like to know how long a HD lasted as a rear tyre doing all-duty rides: XC, AM, commuting etc. ie. how good is it as an all-round, do-everything tyre. For when my Nobby Nics wear out....Cannot comment in terms of km's or time just yet, but can say that they last longer than any previous HP Schwalbe. New NN have also up'ed their lifespan. Can also add that tar does not chow them that quick (from the little tar riding I've done on them)In terms of all round: they are one of the best especially if you want to cover as wide a range as commute / XC and AM.

Iwan Kemp Posted June 6, 2013 Share Come on. Mine go on tonight. Some feedback please Lighter than anything else in it's class, fast with great, predictable grip. Above average in most terrain you will ride year-round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR ◣◢ Posted June 6, 2013 Share Running the Super Gravity version of these with the Pacestar compound. Pro of the compound is they last quite well. Had a couple of rides on them now and zero wear at all. Rides included some bits on tar and lots of rocky riding. Also rolls really well for a massive tyre. Cons of the compound is they don't grip as well as what my old Conti Rubber Queen gripped. Climbs pretty well but again Ive had better climbing ability from a Kenda Nevegal and a Crossmark. Both these issues are very very minor and most people won't notice it. I have found that slight adjustments to my riding style solves the problem easily. Love the large volume. A 2.35" is easily the size of a 2.5" made by other brands. 8/10 overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wimmas Posted June 6, 2013 Share That bike stands on the couch, earlier I saw a thread with a bike in the bath - Next we'll probably see a pic of a bike in the front of a luxury vehicle with the rest of the family tied to the roof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
