These are selling for £23.50 each. Are they worth buying?
I had racing ralph in tubeless form and they were astonishingly good with tubes in, as soon as I spent a fortune making them tubeless they deformed and wouldn't sit on the rim.. For that price I'd give them a go. I just bought some Maxxis Ardents and Crossmarks which are now £50 each, so I may run some myself in the future but tubed
Geordie,
I don't run tubeless, but will these go on the Stans Crests ok because for that money?
Nice price just ordered some, cheers.
They're top banana and work with stans beutifuly. Pair with a nobby nic 29er on the front for winterand you've got a year round combo
where are they for that sort of money ?
🙄
Cheers,just ordered some too, bunners...on one
Just seen them, nice one 😆
A really great tire and at that price a bargain. I run them UST on Crest rims and they run great, needed 4oz of fluid mind to seal them up as they leak a lot without anything.
Been riding Ralphs for 4 years now and are great in dry/damp conditions on light medium XC, but they don't do mud or heavy XC so well, you'll need Nobby Nicks for that.

A great, light, fast tyre in 2.25" width. Not so good in the wet and muddy but perfect for summer front and rear. And at that price a good deal. They tubeless well too. Buy, fit and enjoy!

Heavy XC
what's that?
The type of trail you are likely to get hard tire impacts or sidewall damage. Or where you [i]need[/i] a ~160mm FS bike. These RR have thin sidewalls.
These snakeskin versions are considerably tougher than the regular evo.
Ok, good to know, I run the regular Evo version.
Regular EVO is paper-thin, I hated mine. Taking a punt on a couple of these snakeskins though as I've heard they are much stronger. Will they survive the Chilterns flint? hmmm...
I've used snakeskin Schwalbes in the Alps for many years. Never had any puncturs or sidewall issues.
Thanks All!
I've just been for a pair this morning, but be quick, only 28 left now!
Some bargains there. Just ordered some (although not the silly clown wheel version)
Cheeky!
Chunky! 😉
where are they being sold at this price?
