anyone running these.. for the rear tyre... it get 9 out of 10 in mbuk mag...and bike radar comments well on it...and also says use kenda blue groove on front tyre....
just looking to replace rear tyre at the mo...
yes great tyre stick a blue groove on the front and away you go.
Yep, running them on my EX8 and love them.
Blue Groove on front works a treat.
I use Nevegals front and rear (dual tread version as I found the StickE a little too draggy). I did try a Blue Groove up front briefly but preferred the Nevegals. Pretty good all round tyre - a little out of their depth in the mud but they're pretty good over wet roots and rocks.
only on the front where it is good
great tyres for most wet/shaley/rocky terrain and dry use. Not much kop in gloopy mud though. nevegals all round or blue groove up front, not a lot of difference although the nevegals have a slightly flatter profile which i find is a bit more confidence inspiring over technical rocky ground
On the front for me, too draggy on the back.
Got them f & r here.Great in the wet on rocks & rooty stuff.Complete disaster in gloopy mud as they dont seem to clear at all.They take on the comedy appearance of those surley tyres & need to scrape the sidewalls & excess mud off them.I'm on the lookout for some alternatives.
Dual tread rear and Stick E front for me, great combination.
Only really useless in deep mud - but then so are most tyres.
Great tyres!
I have em F&R on my Ti456. Pretty draggy tyres and not too hot in mud, but they're grippy and predictable and allow me to ride faster and harder down stuff with confidence.
I generally use the DTC on the rear, as it's a fair bit faster, but the stick-e's better on rocks. And also, the slow rebound is a lot nicer on a hardtail, where the DTC can be a bit boingy. So normally I'd use the DTC on the rear but sometimes the stick-e is nice.
I found them very draggy, with fragile sidewalls.
I run them on the front and find they grip well, but they were far too draggy on the rear, I use highroller on the back now which also get comments for being draggy, but not when compared to the Nevegal stick-E
F & R with DTC on back on one bike, BG on front of other with Nev on the back. Prefer the former - seems a bit more secure and predictable. When it gets at all claggy they're replaced with Mud X's.
