tunariaan Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Hi gentsIm building a SS and im not too sure of tyre choices.Whats popular at the momentMust have a good grip since we will be riding a lot of switchbacks and there will be quite a bit of technical riding involved.Thx
DJG Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 nah id go conti, I find the Richey's to be a little on the slippery side
Odinson Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Not sure if they're available yet in SA, but have a look at Specialized's Butcher Control (front wheel) and Purgatory Control (back wheel). Both tyres have 650B options. Should offer high grip levels.
droo Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Onza Ibex, WTB Vigilante or Schwalbe Hans Dampf (if volume's your thing) for the front, with Onza Canis, WTB Wolverine or Maxxis Ardent on the back would be my call.
tunariaan Posted October 15, 2014 Author Posted October 15, 2014 Thx gentsAre those maxis ardents super heavyI like spez in general but find them to be a bit slippery when it gets wet on the single track
fanievb Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Kenda Honey Badger, not the lightest but super grippy and lots of volume for a 2.4
