Morwa Posted October 16, 2013 Share Hubbers, I want to get myself another wheel-set for training, and save my current wheel-set for racing. Will be mostly tar and semi-off road (hard-pack), occasional dirt roads . I don't want slick tires, and must be able to run tubeless. Something with a very low profile. Any ideas? And no.... I'm not joining the DARK SIDE in getting a road bike. ChUkKy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rouxtjie Posted October 16, 2013 Share Maxxis Ikons...or crossmarks. They don't get destroyed that easily by tar like schwalbe's Conti RK is also option ichops and ChUkKy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddy Posted October 16, 2013 Share Maxxis Ikons...or crossmarks. They don't get destroyed that easily by tar like schwalbe's + 1 on both those options If you want an 29" Ikon, I am taking a relatively new one off the front of my bike. It is not the right tyre for me, but I think ideal for your uses. You can have it as long as I don't have to do much to get it to you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted October 16, 2013 Share Crossmarks or Saguaro's ... they roll really well and last forever on tarred surfaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennyg Posted October 16, 2013 Share I can do you on 32mm wide CX tyres or 50mm mtb tyre 2.0. The 32mm has very low profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tankman Posted October 17, 2013 Share Maxxis Ikons...or crossmarks. They don't get destroyed that easily by tar like schwalbe's Conti RK is also option Between the Crossmark and Ikon, Crossmark for tar for sure.Has a thread pattern straight down the middle, perfect for many miles on the tarmac,The Crossmark's sidewall (UST) is also much thicker and stronger than the Ikon (Tubeless Ready) Maxxis Crossmarks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the OP, make sure to get the LUST version as frank the tank pointed out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rouxtjie Posted October 17, 2013 Share Best tyre for that is the Geax Mezcal TNT See details here: http://www.evobikes....manufacturer=24Don't like GEAX tyres...they are tough yes...super tough actually. But they(TNT versions) are near impossible to seat on stan's rims...and they are heavy blixems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
