I'm sure others are good but these tubeless tredz are pretty amazing. Thoughts?
yeh, they're pretty good
trailrakers better for pure traction on the back I think, and neither very grippy on wet roots
holed a mud-x last time out in the new forest (flinty rock here) but fixed with an anchovy (?)
Just popped one of mine this morning, mere seconds after raving about how I'd not had a puncture since fitting them and going tubeless. Serves me right I suppose.
They seem pretty good to me, cut through the gloop nicely, although likewise I could still use more grip on the back for getting up slippery stuff. Might try Trailrakers next time, anyone got any other recommendations?
Yeah, its just a shame other manufacturers don't develop their own 'lots of well spaced squares' tread pattern, I'm suspicious of TLR tyres after I slashed my Jones last winter, shame because it was a very good tyre as well.
anyone got any other recommendations?
Spesh storm controls maybe? Never used them myself, but heard some good things.
anchovy?
Not sure anything grips wet roots, unfortunately.
Out all morning on North Downs so lots of flinty rock and slippery wet chalk, good riding.
is anchovy wrong ? 😳
sticky rubber strip/thread that you shove into the hole using a sort of darning needle
(supertacky swampthings grip wet roots quite well but they're a bastard to pedal on roads or harder bits of trail)
Maxxis Medusa is pretty comparable to Mud X I reckon.
Try Trailrackers
Mud x fan here even on Cannocks shiny slimy pebbles!
I loved mine last year but this year have a fire xc pro and that has done surprisingly well. Only use one on the front as found the rear a bit sketchy and had trouble getting to grips with it
scaredypants - I've not heard of anchovy, sounds like I might need it one day 😀
😆found the rear a bit sketchy and had trouble getting to grips with it
they are okay
but......
the medusas are better in the winter and imo the standard ACX is a better autumn/winter tyre
I agree with you Paul on the acx - better valuefor money I think too
what are they like on the tarmac, draggy?
yup. and sketchy while turning.
my usual pairing is a Mud-x front & trailraker rear, as the trailraker doesn't do corners, but has more 'thrust'.
I really like mine, pretty good all year round too
trailrakers better in all out mud, but the bontys are a better all round autumn / winter tyre. one season only though, as the light weight comes from thin sidewalls, they tend to split through wear and creasing, not rocks. the spesh are better on wet roots, but that tackiness comes at a price, they drag badly on most surfaces.
Use my mud x all year
Can't be bothered with changing as anything else would only be marginally better.
Awesome tyres.
got a brand new pair for sale
yup love 'em
