New Tires ! 29r MAXXIS

[Waynehans]

For XC type riding I'd go with Ardent Race. I have the Ardent LUST (also CWC special) and it weighs a tonne. Sticks like s#it though. Weight not so much of an issue for me as my bike is more trail orientated.

 

Have had Maxxis ( Crossmark and Ikon mostly) for 5 years and no issues with Stan's. Very few punctures as well.

Had 1 set of Ikon's.   They didn't last as long as the Crossmarks,   Crossmark grip in front a bit sketchy!!  Weight I am not bothered about.  I am 95avg,  hopefully by Magalies I will be round 88 again, so a bit more on the wheel is no hassle.  I rather rdie the whole race..  As 2 years in a row with no tire hassles.

OK, so for the price R450 from CWC. the Ardent Lust or Ardent Race. I want a good reliable wheelset for the Magalies monster in 3 weeks time.....

 

I see they don't like Stans Sealant... Maxxis

I'm trying to get some feedback on PS2, so if you'd like to try it on the maxxis tyres let me know.

I have used only stans on 26r with Crossmarks for over 2 years.  Like i said in beggining.  No punctures in 13000 + km's.  So i will stick with Stans... Cause I got a new 1L bottle in Garage.... Haha.   Never had problems, and changed 3-4 sets of tires.  So stick with what you know!!!

Thanks Guys...  Ardents are the choice...  Pity CWC don't take orders now...  Could have them on the bike by 9AM...!!!!

Agree that Crossmarks last longer than Ikons. My first pair lasted about three years, versus about 1 year for Ikon.
