JXV Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 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.
Bizkit031 Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 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.
Trivium Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 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.

rawbone Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 anyone seen any place selling the 2015 Nobbly Nic,s yet ?? Evobikes: http://www.evobikes.co.za/tyres/mtb-29er-tyres/schwalbe-nobby-nic.html
Mawbs Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 wrong size, need 27.5 ...i should have mentioned that
Smurfy Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 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
Mawbs Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 4200km seriously ?? is that all of road or some tar as well ??
Mawbs Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Actually now i see maxxis list them in a 2.25 width as well, im sure i didnt see that before.
Quantum Theory Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 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?
Mawbs Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 so im getting the new 2015 Nobbly Nic after reading reviews on Pinbike i reckon it should be the bomb..will let you know
Smokey Rotor Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 @ Mawes, did you get those nobby nics? If so, how are they holding up?
