SwissVan Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 HiIs it advisable to use R/Ron ss front and rear as i assume its more robust due to harder centre line compound, as opposed R/ralph combo? Been using Rons front and back for years, find they grip better then Ralphs.
dee_biker Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Also tried all these tyres mentioned, and settled for the last couple of thousand kays with (third pair) Spez Ground Control frontSpez Fast Track back 2500 on these babies now, and haven't had one single punture... 30% tar, rocks, mud, eveything. Fantastic tyres.

Thanks for the tubes Chukky, I owe you a beer Thanks for the puncture fixing lessons, could never have done them without you and the Ralphs.... or Ikons in my darker days

rouxtjie Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 My luck............. the one race when I puncture YOU will come along!! Will never hear the end of it. Laaities of today etc etc.Stick with the ralphs oom...they are better in every dept. What chucks didnt mention to you was that he need a compressor and 5L of stan's to get a seal going on his precious conti's.

Chucks is very quiet about the fitting but I know what happens behind the scenes. If you want to hear more vitriol from him mention the words Thunder Burt.

The MTBer Posted April 23, 2014 Author Posted April 23, 2014 Found out today that Christoph Sauser design the Maxxis Crossmark tyre... At this moment I like the Crossmark tyre very much, hahaha, Christoph is one of my top 5 MTB riders.

Methinks he chooses a much lighter tire.

tunariaan Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Geax SaguraDone just over 3000km on mine and tread still looks new, did have one flat at Tankwa but that was my own fault do to running to low pressures.I really love these tyres on my SS
The MTBer Posted April 24, 2014 Author Posted April 24, 2014 that explains the swiss flag on the middle knobs. Yip, also wondered what the reason is for the knobs. Does he race with them though,best tire regards protection iv'e found but quite weighty. Methinks he chooses a much lighter tire. Well he is riding for Specialized at the moment, and they have their own tyres. Also saw that the tyres should be used for hard and dry conditions.
