Hi,
Where's the best place to get some cheap UST tyres from? Need some new rubber for the Grizedale Challenge.
Thanks.
P.S. Why are UST tyres so much more expensive????
P.P.S I was a mountain bike rider before I was a roadie 🙂
Should I change my username?
I'd go for maxxis crossmarks or racing ralphs (ralph are more expensive).
have a look at spesh 2bliss tyres
Look at LUST or tubeless ready for lighter, cheaper alternatives.
and 2bliss as i said
2Bliss isn't UST in the proprietary Mavic sense; they are 'tubeless ready' like Bontrager and GEAX TNT tyres - need sealant to stop the carcass leaking air as they aren't non-porous like UST tyres. UST tyres don't actually need sealant to mount if running on a UST rim, only needed for puncture sealing.
One reason I suspect tyres with the UST logo are so expensive is that the tyre manufacturers have to pay Mavic to use the logo?!
i know - was intimating using 2 bliss as they are similar to tubeless ready
Must admit that I've been very impressed with the GEAX Saguaro TNT I've been running at the rear for a few months now - certainly tougher than other 'tubeless ready' tyres I've tried. Shredded a Bontrager TLR tyre on the second ride!
GEAX Saguaro TNT here too, got one for £24 & one for £30, new.
Got Kenda Nevegal Tubeless for 25 quid each on CRC.
