What sealant was used at the time I have no idea. Beware!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwan Kemp Posted October 13, 2009 Share I have been riding Kenda for almost as long as I've been riding. The last three years have all been tubeless using Stans and I have never had an issue with delamination or anything like that. Why have a UST tire if you cant use sealant. I think they are just trying to cover their own ass just ion case somebody goes and use mielie meel and hand andy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighter-Lights Posted October 13, 2009 Share Kenda Small Block 8 TDC 1.95 has been the best tyre I've ever used. If there's one tyre I'll use for the rest of my life it's the Small Block 8 DTC 1.95. It's 465g, almost real 2.0 size with great volume, (it's wider with more volume than my 2.1 Speed King) and from day one it's never deflated a bit!! Never leaked through the sidewalls. + it got me through my most important races as a rear tyre on some pretty rough terrain. I've also used lots of maxxis in the past but going from the Small Block 8 back to Crossmarks for training it feels like I'm riding on a carpet...
