Anyone use these? for general trail centre bashing? Wales specifically. (llandegla, cyb etc)
Bought a pair dirt cheap, and foolishly tested them on a trip to Coed y Brenin.I'm regarded as being very light on the bike, but suffered a couple of pinches before we hit anything rocky. A little more air to help prevent any more, and they went from not a lot of grip to absolutely lethal, even just a tickle on the brakes saw them locking up.Try them by all means, but don't blame me if they spoil your trip.
Cheers, Too rocky? The first section of trail "through the forks" is the worst. I got pinch flatted on my conti mtn kings last time I went within a mile.. lol
They're light and fast, but very thin sidewalls. "Bashing" not recommended, especially not near any rocks!
Amazing intermediate to dry conditions race tyre, light and fast, but no to rocks. Used to run them round the Bristol Bike Fest course pre the rebuild, and they were amazing on dusty earthy wooded trails.
I, just like coatesy picked up a pair 2nd hand off here. They were the 70a ones, not even the 65a exc ones. Not good on the front at all, BUT i am quite liking it as a rear on the back of my Cannondale Rush. Light and surprisingly quick and has given me good climbing traction. Using it tubless and it went up well, so can't comment on pinch flats, but ther isn't very much volume to it....
