Anyone running one as a front? (3.8 flavour) any good? Got the chance of a cheap 120tpi one and was wondering if they are decent or not, as if so – it’s a cheaper option to a Nate at 70 quid.

Ta.

I have had one up front on the Pugsley for years, depends what you ride. I find them OK on most stuff except mud. Nates are way too OTT and draggy for me. I’ve ridden / raced on beaches, Singletrack, trail centres, etc….

I’d buy a JJ over a Larry any day!

Cheers, bought now anyway for 38 quid! I’ll stick it on the front and keep a JJ on the rear, the JJ’s are most deffo a bit skittish on the slimy stuff – so hopefully the Larry will be a bit more stable.

I think Bud is the fella you’re looking for!

Maybe – but for 38 quid, I’ll take a chance. TBF, so far the JJ’s have been faultless, apart from said scariness of mud more than an inch deep.
The Larry looks like a better bet and if I’m gonna gamble, I’ll gamble at 38 quid rather than 70.

Fine for sand IME, but not much cop in anything alse

The Larry? you had one then?

Seriously, there’s no gambling here.
The Larry will be a terrible, terrible front tyre if you’re looking for something better in mud than a JJ.

I’ve ridden many miles on both. Larry is a great summer rear tyre but I wouldn’t put it on the front unless I was exclusively sand/gravel riding.

FFS….anyone want to buy a brand new Larry? 😕
