Hi all,
Just about to buy some new summer rubber for my Orange Five. A mate at work suggested the Cont X kings 2.4 protection, thought I'd give them a try having little or no experience with the manufacturer. My mate did say, the 2.4's do come up quite big - I do like a big volume tyre on my five, I just wondered if they would fit? Or if people have a quick pic of a 2.4 on a Five?
Any help more than appreciated!
Sorry! I always get paranoid before spending money! :0)
Thanks
Andy
around 56mm widest. on a mavic 719.
Where do you ride if it is rocky you will kill the tyres I tore the centre tread in 1 week. Get the ust if you ride on rocks
My 2008 five came with 2.4 conti mountain kings, don't know how the size compares to the ones you mentioned. They fitted fine, just were absolute kak- never had so many punctures, gave them away after five or six rides
edit: before any one tells me I had the wrong pressures etc., I didn't and haven't had the same issue with any other tyres on the bike
I use the 2.2 x king as my summer rear tyre on my 5 for general trail riding and it works a treat. Have a mountain king on the front. If Im going for a more downhill session, not DH tracks then I put the MK on the back and a 2.2 rubber queen up front. Works well for me
Hey thanks for all the replies lads - very much appreciated!
Thank you :0)
