I've run a set of NNs for the past year and been very impressed with them. They've been through loads of 7stanes riding (all trails, including belting around inners and Ae) as well as a fair amount of highland and general off piste, propper mountain biking. Oh, and I rode them for my 7 laps of the puffer this year.
The sidewalls have finally shown signs of wear and so they've just come off the bike… but over all, I'd say that's a pretty good show.
I tried my pals racing ralphs out and was really impressed with the weight and speed and they still felt pretty grippy… not far off the nics, so got a set of those for long rides and marathons for this year. I've got a heavy duty set of tyres for hooligan riding and a bigger more heavy duty bike for serious lunacy, so I'm not too worried about them working for everything.
