Recommended Posts

You should know as a Scotsman I went for the lowest..... I think one I had was 580 something but that could be the one that got a puncture on the 2nd ride......... :whistling:

I have a new one in the box at home will weigh it tonight and give feedback. The last scale I had was a little dodgy

Got my two ikons a few minutes ago.....I love sniffing new rubber...its a thing

I like my Conti's, havent had any poo with them... touch wood.

 

The race king sidewalls look like crap after about 3 rides, then after around 2000km the sidewalls seep but they're pretty much finished by then and time for new.

 

Im 89kg's, I dont care about weight weenie tyres that get holes, punctures and that other nonsense

Used primarily in cross country and enduro tires, the two compounds in the outer layer are specially formulated to reduce rolling resistance and optimize treadwear and traction.

There you have it. You will roll faster, but ONLY when your doing Cross Country........ Any other type of riding and you will roll slower :mellow:

and here is a question: Looking at Rocket Ron and Racing Ralphs as a combo. Any suggestions/advice (for a 29er)?

 

Previously had Wolverines on my 26er and they were fantastic.
