knersis Posted January 4, 2010 Share One for the tyre Guru's Which tyre is better for a tubeless converasion?Obviously LUST (UST) is best but they cost & weigh much more. From what I have gathered 62A - rubber is softer, better grip, lighter70A - rubber has more plastic, harder, better rolling resistance, last longer, less grip than 62A Crossmark 2.1 Kevlar 70a: average weight 569gCrossmark 2.1 Kevlar 120tpi 62a eXC: average weight 479g Monorail 2.1 Kevlar 70a: average weight 559gMonorail 2.1 Kevlar 120tpi 62A eXC: average weight 502g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickc Posted January 5, 2010 Share I see you are in the Western Cape - I think your choice is going to be decided by your terrain. I run both tyres - Monorail front and Crossmark back but in the UST LUST versions as up here in the big smoke its dry and rocky where I live and I dont mind the extra weight for the peace of mind it gives me. I tried a brand new Conti Race King the other day and put a hole through the sidewall on my first ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
