JXV Posted December 22, 2014 Share After 8 months my sealant was old and I got a nail in my rear Ardent causing a slow puncture that wouldnt seal. So I put a Spez Ground Control on while cleaning all the congealed sealant off and plugging the Ardent.I have to say the GC rolls as well if not better and the grip under cornering is better too (less wishy washy when leaned over). GC is also lighter than the UST Ardent but time will tell on the durability factor. The Ardent is a nice all round tyre but it just became a used spare and I will be changing out the front one too at some stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizkit031 Posted December 22, 2014 Share I don't ever go on the road... and I want a more aggressive tread on my Giant Trance. Suits the kind of riding I do better. Keep the Mountain king on the front and put a X-king on the rear they compliment each other well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trivium Posted December 30, 2014 Share Conti X-King Protection 2.2 front and Raceking Protection 2.2 rear Front grips amazingly and the back grips when you want it to. W@nna-BE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smurfy Posted January 15, 2015 Share I run the crossmark front and rear. No problems at all. Just replaced the rear on 4200km. The front still got alot of tread on. Will see how the tyres handle the Attakwas.Weigh 87kg and run them 2.0 bar Edited January 15, 2015 by Smurfy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quantum Theory Posted January 19, 2015 Share Keep the Mountain king on the front and put a X-king on the rear they compliment each other well. So, already got Mountain King on the front and was going to get the same on the back. However, what exactly is the reason that everybody recommends XKing at the back? Does it make a massive difference in rolling resistance? Isn't it good to have the extra cornering grip of the MK in the back too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
