Hey I hear you, bought 2 of them 2 weeks ago when they were 299 a pop from cwc. I got a bad cut on one during j2c day 7. Not sidewall, but on the tread....didn't think I will go them a go after that again, but at 299...its a bargain. They are light and convert tubeless pretty easily.

If you have Stans ZTR wheels stay away from the GEAX You will never put those tyres on those wheels. I speak of 1st hand experience. if I were you I would go with Conti Mountain King Front and Race King on the rear Or X King front and rear

Lekker thing with stan's rims and ikon or racing ralphs are you can get a seal going with a footpump. No need for bombs or visit to the garage.

Anybody ridden both?

 

Hi

Ek het met hierdie jaar se Epic met Ardent agter en Ikon voor gery. My rede vir die Ardent agter, sy sidewalls is sterker as die Ikon en mens is meer geneig om sidewall cuts op agterwiel te kry. Die ander rede is dat sy nobblies verder uitmekaar is en sy grip dan beter is. Baie mense verskil van my, maar my dae van motorcross het dit op dieselfde prinsiep gewerk en dit was ook Maxxis. Ikon voor, lekker spoed tyre! Ek ry steeds met dieselfde kombinasie van tyres en hier in Worcester met ons klippe/leiklip grond, het ek nog met geen probleme gesit nie.

Hoop dit werp so klein bietjie lig op jou keuses......

They are for a 29 Hardtail currently on Racing Ralphs 2.25....

 

I use Ralph's at the moment, and find them to be very soft. It gets punctures just looking at them.

I got 4 punctures on saturday, maybe just unlucky.

 

What sealant do you use with the Ralph's, the sealant I have in, not sure what it is. The sealant takes forever to seal, by the time the tiny hole is sealed I no air left in my tires

Stan's for the win.....never had an issue. The standard schwalbe evo tyres are hondnaai....if it doesn't say snakeskin, I won't go on my bike.
