Thug Posted January 18, 2007 Author Posted January 18, 2007 Tyre has arrived and it seems that the UST is the same price as the DTC version !! So maybe I'll pick up 2 of them. Let us no how things go and what you think? Will do.
TitusTi Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 Tyre has arrived and it seems that the UST is the same price as the DTC version !!So maybe I'll pick up 2 of them. Pick up one of each and see which you prefer?
MintSauce Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 Thug.....do a brother a favour and try weigh them. Does your LBS have a scale? I'd like to see if there's a difference between the stock and UST!
Thug Posted January 18, 2007 Author Posted January 18, 2007 Pick up one of each and see which you prefer? Nah, 2 of the UST's and can the Larsen UST on my back rim (keep it as a spare)

I'd like to see if there's a difference between the stock and UST! Will do. According to their website: STICK-EF/R26x2.10Folding12040-65620?35gDTCF/R26x2.10Folding12040-65610?30gTUBELESSF/R26x2.10Folding12030-50770?40gSo there could be as much as a 230g difference between the DTC & the Tubeless
TitusTi Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 That's pretty standard though for true tubeless tyres.
MintSauce Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 Geez....i'm sticking with DTCs and Stan's! That's a big weight diff!
Thug Posted January 18, 2007 Author Posted January 18, 2007 Geez....i'm sticking with DTCs and Stan's! That's a big weight diff! But there could be also as little as a 90g weight difference. I just took the extremes on each side.
Thug Posted January 19, 2007 Author Posted January 19, 2007 Picked up the tyre last night, but the lbs didn't have a scale so I couldn't weigh either the UST or DTC version. As a matter of interest the Larsen TT LUST was R25 more expensive
Thug Posted January 22, 2007 Author Posted January 22, 2007 Fitted the Nevegal on Friday afternoon. Rode 85k's on Sat & another 55k's yesterday and the amount of grip is far superior to that of TT which it replaced. In fact I'll go so far as to say the it saved my bacon from a mean wipeout into a patch of mud yesterday morning. The tyre of choice from now onwards.
TitusTi Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Ahh, another convert. Now you know why we say the TT's are crap! But no one believes us!
Thug Posted January 22, 2007 Author Posted January 22, 2007 Ahh' date=' another convert. Now you know why we say the TT's are crap! But no one believes us![/quote'] (and now to quickly reduce the tread my rear TT )
dirtrider Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 TT's are still the best ? If you need grip just turn the tyre around .
TitusTi Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 TT's are the best for what? They have no grip regardless of which way round you run them, they don't roll all that fast and they cost more than the Nevegal's?
