Ritchey WCS Shield Tyres

Hi Hubbers,

 

Can anyone give first hand experience feedback on these tyres? (29er)

 

Thanks!

They're awesome - in the right application.

 

Super light and super fast rolling - with surprisingly good grip for a "race tyre".

 

Downside is that they don't last very well and they're impossible to plug. You pop a plug, start riding and after a while you hear "pwiiiiiiiing" as the plug disappears off into the ether.

 

I use them for XCO and one day races only.

Thanks Eldron! Exactly what I wanted to hear!

I'm considering these for my CX bike as well.

I have also been riding them. Strong as nails. They don't enjoy mud though. Also found them to seal when i had an issue.
