HATE THEM
They were shite tubed
they were shite tubeless …..
Had 9 punctures in 3 rides , 6 tubed(using normal tubes not condom tubes) and 3 tubeless (using a joes kit)
Previously ran Small block 8s and Fire xc muds in 1.8(with 1 puncture the whole season (tubed) and it was on a recreational ride in the cairn gorms with big rocks and it actually gashed the tire)….the rons felt less grippy than the small blocks , the pressure had to be high (50 psi) even tubeless to stop them burping or pinching (with tubes) so no grip …
Ive put my Small block 8s back on(tubeless) … old worn ones and still they feel better to ride as i can keep the pressures down to about 35-40psi …
Going to replace with some Dreadtreds as a fast rolling intermediate tire. since my experiance with rons was so bad !
FYI im 12 stone , riding a merida FLX3500d . The sidewalls are just too thin on the rocket rons (mines were the evos) If you are lighter you may get on better but it wasnt just rear pinch flats ..it was front as well.
