mazambaan Posted April 18, 2015 Share What tyres are you guys running? Asseblief I have Nobby Nic's full Snakeskin etc, ride at 2bar pressure and still punctures on a regular basis. Oh, and I really do not ride hard or in rocky terrain. Also the tyre is so floppy that once punctured it un-seats and just will not re-seat with pumping (ha, ha) or a bomb. I have to put a tube in. My old 26" Maxxis Crossmark LUST's never had these problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted April 18, 2015 Share mazambaan: if you had bothered to read up about snakeskin, you'll have noted it's only to protect against sidewall cuts. It's not for puncture protection. What model of Nobby Nic are you riding with (i ask because only supergravity models have 'full snakeskin') ? The little blocks on the sidewall will tell you what you have. You dont need to ride hard or in rocky terrain to puncture.if you are happy with crossmarks, then why don't you go back to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old 26" Maxxis Crossmark LUST's never had these problems.I also had plenty issues with Nobby Nics. I am now running a WTB Vigilante up front & a WTB Wolverine on the rear, also 2 bar. I've ridden more than 500 km's with this configuration & not one puncture so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quantum Theory Posted April 20, 2015 Share My Mountain Kings has been problem free for months. They just have leaky sidewalls when new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazambaan Posted April 20, 2015 Share Thanks guys - Stan's sealant, topped up regularly (which is a pain as the tyre loses its seal each time) but not replaced. About to try Joe's, just because that is all my LBS had at the time. As for Maxxis in 650B I don't see the UST / LUST; just tubeless ready. Is this enough? My 26" Maxxis Crossmarks gave so little trouble I never looked at other tyres so I'm a bit clueless. Thanks for the note about sidewalls only - My Nobby Nic's have "EVO Evolution Line; TLR Tubeless Ready; Snakeskin; Pace Star Compound with a 3 in the star" all on the sidewall.. Help me here. BUT I like that Super Gravity model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
