JM Rides Bikes Posted June 23, 2021 Share Hi there, does anyone have experience with the CST patrol tyres 29x2.25 TR. They seem like a good and cost effective alternative to maxxis but very uncommon hence the question. https://bike-addict.co.za/products/cst-tires-patrol-2-25-29er TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re decently comparable to anything else in use really. At the price it’s a no brainier. eddy, JM Rides Bikes and DieselnDust 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK CST have been making a lot of tyres for other brands for decades, and started their own label in the past few years. they sponsor a pro mtb team if that helps Danger Dassie and JM Rides Bikes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselnDust Posted June 23, 2021 Share Is r380 for the wire or kevlar bead with EPS protection? I'd be surprised if the latter as this price would be below cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamA Posted June 23, 2021 Share The CST Rock Hawk allows you to select options... Wire bead is R190 Tubeless is R370 https://bike-addict.co.za/products/cst-rock-hawk-mtb-tyre?variant=32192449740884 So i assume that it is R380 for the Tubeless Folding Bead on the CST Patrol Edited June 23, 2021 by AdamA DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a set of their rubber on a 26r Schwinn back in the day, no issues. Kevin Evans raced a bit with them on the SA Raleigh bikes as well. They’re a tyre sponsor with a couple of teams, most notably Bart Brentjen’s team CST Pro with local rider Mariske Strauss. If they work for a WC/Epic environment they’re fine for us easy riders. peetwindhoek and DieselnDust 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
