That's it.
Do you think they will listen.
It's important to have a dream.
aDvantages my tyre of choice too.
Aye, really good tyre but they're a wee bit hefty for the normal foldy one.
On my HT the grip and volume out way weight.
Still in the light = fragile camp I'm afraid
UST Advantage at the back, UST Ardent up front = Perfect combination
UST Advatage front and back = Near death
I know why you want the 2.25 Advantage.
^ advantage front ardent rear all day long my friend. Crossmark rear for the summer week.
Nah...Ignitor front, Advantage rear = Perfect combination
This could go on and on and on and on...
I had a pair of folding 2.25s after they came out. First ride out on the Arkle Loop I tore a sidewall on the rear at the head of Glen Golly but managed a bodge which saw me out. Was lucky in such a remote location. The bit of track it happened on isn't that rough and I was climbing at the time.
Decided then they were too flimsy for rear use, but maintained one on the front and kept it on the bike for a few weeks, but found it burped a few times and I lost confidence in it ... the tread wasn't great for a front tyre either.
I imagine if the sturdy Crossmark 2.25 LUST carcass was on the tyre it would be fine on the rear, but really I can't see a single reason to choose this over (for example) a Crossmark, HR or Ardent. It doesn't do anything particularly well IMO.
