    ton – I got mine from Stu’s dutch link.

    Cost a bomb, but I needed one urgently rather than wait for Ison.
    Superb rim 🙂

    Builds up easily too.

    I think I dropped a “ton” to get one from dutchman*

    *You see what I did there? 🙂

    I built mine into a superstarcomponents 20mm hub – despite all the shit bits of SSC Ive had, this is a great bit of kit. I got it for a bargin £15 and for an extra £7 you get the QR cups as well. So I move this wheel between my Reba 20mm bolt-thru and On-One QR rigids. WOrks a treat.
    Was out on it today with the WTB Werewolf 2.55″ LT. Makes a great front end, but a bit hefty (about 1.6Kg)

    A bling front end you have there sir – nice!

    I’ve had a Wierwolf arrive today – was going to try it in the rear to replace a RR, but perhaps I should try it up front?

    If I had the WTB on the back, Id consider turning it around since I ride SS.

    Im toying with RR – what are they like?

    As it is I have enough tyres to last until the rapture! 🙂

    BTW – ton – buy a rim and get a man with oily fingers to build it. Also, look for a cheaper hub than Hope. Taiwanese front 20mm hubs are fine and even if the bearings are gash, they’re a doddle to replace/upgrade. Rear hubs a re a bit different, but even then I dont see Hope as being far better than many taiwanese ones.

    It doesnt help that my recently converted neighbour and I “pool” rubber.

    I think we have
    2x SB8
    1x Exiwolf
    1x Werewolf
    1x Vulpine
    2x Stout
    2x Ignitor

    and we only have 2x bikes 🙂

    Of course, as the king of rubber (oo’err) that probably seems small fry to you 🙂

    RR’s are overall a very good tyre. The best part is their rolling speed is faster than a whores draws on speed. Their side walls are very fragile, and the reason I’m finally moving on is their poor braking traction

    Well worth a try though and i think there’s a snake skin version out
