zeabre Posted November 12, 2013 Share Apologies, the Racing Ralphs. Running the HD very low pressure for enduro riding. Allows for very aggressive riding on loose gravel etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headshot Posted November 12, 2013 Share 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Omega Man Posted November 12, 2013 Share 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?

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. Edited November 12, 2013 by Capricorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
