Bman Posted June 4, 2010 Share haha opposites.... but which would you prefer? if you had a choice? or if you wanted to ride tubeless with both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lou777 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Crossmarks on my Merida, like a dream. Brother has Rocket Ron's on a GT, likes them as well, by they not tubeless. @Marius, what would you recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bman Posted June 4, 2010 Share your crossmarks tubeless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lou777 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Yes tubeless and honestly a brilliant tyre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mellow Posted June 4, 2010 Share really depends how and where you ride... if i had to choose between the two for winter(rain), ill put a nobby nic front not the crossmark. the crossmark has that continuous pattern with the little crosses in the middle, so its not really suited for a rear tyre if you look for good traction on the technical climbs(personal experience).... but it will last longer than most. its heavy if you do alot of distance and gravel roads i would say crossmark will work front and rear and last looong. good setup is crossmark rear, monorail front.... if you want maxxis good setup schwalbe will be racing ralph front and rear (expensive) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted June 4, 2010 Share I couldnt make up my mind so i put the Nics up front and crossmarks at the back. So far so good. Only complain is that the nics are thinner than they shoudl be for a 2.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkie 2 Posted June 4, 2010 Share I prefer the Schwalbe but Maxis is good value for money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Brunsdon Posted June 4, 2010 Share All I can say is Crossmarks + Oak Valley + Rain = seeing grass at 40 km/h! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bman Posted June 4, 2010 Share haha every one seems to agree the crossmarks just not good for the rain, with a fall experience included.. shot mense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jugheaddave Posted June 4, 2010 Share I think the crossmark is a faster heavier more reliable Tyre (punctures). The nobby nic probably more grippy. For the EC were I live, I would probably say Cross Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bman Posted June 6, 2010 Share its the reliability im after, over punctures and deflating tyres now!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WR 1.0 Posted June 7, 2010 Share I've seen the crossmarks fitted wrong way round (back to front) in the rear. Apparantly it helps it grip better if you are doing some climbing over loose. In the wet I have found they clog up a fair bit. Have not had any punctures (touch wood) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coola Posted June 7, 2010 Share i ride with nobby nics and im very happy with them for climbing they are king for corners they are tops ...and fast ...buuuut they tend to be flat more than they have air in them ...run them hard with a good fork or dual set up and they are the ones to use .....my 2C's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
