They seem very cheap or is that for a reason.
Or is it only the black chillies that hit the spot.
Just asking before i hit the button.
Cheers all.....

I've a 2.4 RQ with black chilli on the front (folding) and it's great. grips well, and can plough through the mud and rock gardens without any issues. Unsure of the wire bead might be heavy. Size wise the 2.4 is tight on clearances on a RS Reacon fork.

get the clack chilli versions, why scrimp on something that plays a big part on how the bike will ride.

Wire bead's no good. I had wire Mountain kings and they fell apart (I'm not exactly extreme)

I got some recently and they seem good, but the sidewalls feel incredibly thin. No pinch flats yet, but I've been pretty cautious so far...

I don't like them. No good in the mud and roots of the FoD. Mind you, not the Black Chilli version.

EDIT - even when it's dry too. Just feel like there's no grip in corners for me.

2.2s are very tall for their width compared to other 2.2s. My 2.3 Barons are SMALLER than 2.2 RQs!
