Schwalbe Hans Dampf

[zeabre]

Apologies, the Racing Ralphs. Running the HD very low pressure for enduro riding. Allows for very aggressive riding on loose gravel etc.

[Headshot]

I have the HD SG on my front wheel. Its heavy but very confidence inspiring. I'd agree that it works better on damp/loamy soil than summer sand, but its by no means a slouch there and converts to tubeless well. The NN's have a similar tread pattern but shorter knobs and are flimsy in comparison, unless you get the snakeskin or whatever they call the toughened version.

 

Another tyre I am trying for the first time at the moment is the WTB Bronson - wide for a 2.3 and lighter than the HD SG. Its a nice tight fit, pumps up tubeless like it has a tube in it and so far has not tried to burp off the rim...

LOL. Yeah, just go Minion again. I'm gonna try the Muddy Mary's next time around. But tbh - nothing really grips in the sandy stuff that collects in the corners!

Put a fresh set of Minions on my DHR the other day and got my 3rd best strava down Tokkies DH. I wasn't trying AT ALL. It just grips and grips and grips.

 

I'm gonna take my Reign to that other place I'm not allowed to talk about. I reckon 2.35 Muddy Mary's will be the call. Good mud clearance and Rolling resistance is hardly a problem. @ Cap. What compound should I get. Soft on the Front and Mid on the rear. What is the Schwable name for these please?

vertstar is the softest, next is trailstar, followed by the hardest being pacestar. If you going to ThatOtherPlaceWeWillNotMention, get the vertstar up front, trailstar at the back. But if you heavy braker, try the Pacestar instead. Vertstar shreds in a hurry.

 

forgot to add: I love minions, hate the fragile sidewalls.

Normally 2663 .. you saving ...

 

They are smoking some seriously good stuff, they should sell that rather.

 

I've been running HD's in 26 and 29 guise on the front of my bikes - trailstar compound nogals, and found them to be the bomb. Run at 30psi.

I like the volume of the tyre as well ... turned ny 26'er into a 650b

Yip, and if you act now you can get a bottle of stans for R1038, and 2 tubeless valves for R482...

I have see a few shops with R1000 tire pricing the last 2 weeks,

Lol. Same. Those 2.35's on the sixer are like 2.2's on a 650.

KEH? The one you can tubeless. You guys are way to techy for me. I thought I had all possible info and then you go throw a spanner in my works.

[Caerus]

So best bet is to go shopping at CRC I gather, anyone planning an order soonish?
