Im going Nevagal thanks for the opinions guys

 

Good choice! I put a pair on before last year's rain started. They prefer the ground to be soft, but they do well in all conditions.

Rad' date=' the most popular setup that Ive seen around is a conti mountain king on front and a speed king on the back.

Would anyone else agree??[/quote']

I've actually got a Race King on the back and a Mountain King up front.

 

Also using the same setup.

Maxxis Monorail

Bos, You are quite correct!!

 

The Xmarks are fairly well endorsed by the EPIC riders....not so?

That's where I'll take my suggestions from...tried & tested over an epic event...mixed terrain as well (bit of everything).

What about the new Maxxis Aspen. I've actually never seen it in SA but it gets great reviews overseas.

No fear, wtb made far worse tyres than the nano...

I think this is the combination you will find at the sharp end of most XC and marathon races at the moment. I'm very, very happy with mine. Also about half the SA retail price if bought from CRC.

 

My second choice would be Racing Ralphs, however the side walls slice up very, very easily.

What sort of KMs should one expect on the Xmarks?  I know, I know it depends on the terrain, you riding style, your weight, the wind direction, and whether its snowing on the drakensberge, but what have you guys been getting?

 

I rode Xmarks on my previous bike and got a new set with my new bike in March.  Got a long but thin sidewall cut last week and sat down to patch it and realised how intensly worn the sidewalls really are, I suspect i might have to replace.  Normal?

Maxiss Xmarks are good value for money Maxiss Larsen TT are cr@p value for money.

I meen everycase is different, but the sidewalls on even my non tubeless-converted crossmark was showing badly and still I was bombing rock gardens with no problems.

 

I have not tried Shwable or Conti's So I couldnt comment on them. The Race kings looked nice fast summer tires that shouldnt wear to fast.

Have same non-2blis with home conversion going, and rode well for about 2 months before sidewall cut.  I just dont want to sit in a race with this kinda issue if they do wear fast, but going to be difficult to sway from xmarks, bang for buck, but will give race kings a look, thnx.
