Hi,

Just a quick one on Tyre choices?

Bike: Nomad
Tyre Front: Single Ply Maxxis Minion DHF 2.35" 42a SuperTacky
Tyre Rear: Single Ply Maxxis Minion DHF 2.35" 60a Maxxpro

Is there a better choice about?

Noticed all the demo bikes in Afan had Schwalbe on and they are a fair bit lighter too!

I have used Nobby Nics plenty and really like them, question is, is there a prefered set up out there? Seen mixtures of Nobby Nics up front and Fat Alberts out back etc.

Anyone have any recommendations?

I looking for light as poss but not something too weak ๐Ÿ™‚

Any help/suggestions appreciated

Most people run Racing Ralph rear, Nobby Nic front.

For more grip Fat Albert on the front and Nobby Nic on the rear.

I found the FA to work great on the front, noticable increase in traction, but trade off being lot harder work pedalling uphill.

Mine is a "performance" version that I got cheap to try it out, so the EVO models may be free'er rolling.
