vredstein bull locks....aparently hand stitched all i know is they replaced the contis on the five demo and theyre fab,more of a winter tyre but as i ride at scottish trail centres mainly theyre well suited....
very grippy and predictable...(and we stock em! 😉 just thought id share...
Just put Small Block 8s on the Yeti and took 2 minutes off my Cwn Carn lap time.
Lovely.
Ive got a pair of Vred Black Panthers and theyre awesome.
Hope you're paying for advertising. 😀
I love Maxxis Cross Mark but it has to be dry. Great on the North Downs but have also used in Afan & Cwm Carn. Had now for 2 summers and just starting to wear out.
I noticed Steve Peat had one on the rear of his trail bike and also that French dude Nicholais Vouloiz (sorry for spelling) had one on back of his 7" Lapierre (article in MBUK - yes I know about the recent topic on mags).
May look at SB8's or Maxxis Ardents for next year.
SB8's for the (dry) win here, in as big a size as you can manage (they're light).
Based on demos I've done and mates bikes, I really don't rate the Contis put on Orange bikes so just about anything else would be better IMO. [sorry]
Some people like em though - personal taste innit
cycleworlduk, get someone to tidy up your website, its a bit chaotic.
i had three trys at finding the vredsteins, but failed as im a tard.
"more of a winter tyre but as i ride at scottish trail centres mainly theyre well suited...."
whys that then ? its not like Scottish trail centers EVER get muddy .....
I know some people like the contis with the black chilli compound and protection stuff, but I'd like to meet anyone who likes the bog standard ones that come on the fives etc.
why the hell would you need a winter tyre on trail centre kitty litter?

I have very bog standard Continental Gravities that came on my Carrera Fury. Last weekend I stumbled across a decent pressure for them in the lakes (lower than I had been using) and I loved them.
Mind you, it was an awesome ride despite the constant torrential rain.
I've just put a set of very bog standard (i.e. wire beaded) conti's on my bike - vert on the rear & gravity on the front.
I would like a new set of tyres but being currently unemployed i'm having to resort to the cheapo tyres at the back of my shed.
Any special offers on tyres?
Ok, what's the difference between the MAXXIS ingnitors and the various high roller models?
Are the ignitors kevlar beaded for instance, what is the compound like etc.?
Ive just put a new Ardent on the front and an Advantage (crap on front before) on the rear ready for tomorrow... had to make my beloved Swampthings off as they were sooo draggy in this weather 🙁
I'm loving my rubber ones, they've got knobbles of rubber sticking out of them, if i put some air into the tube beneath them, they grip the ground which means i can ride over ruff stuff.
fantastic invention i think, highly recommended!
Are you Formula one drivers? Rider ability accounts for a lot more than 'grippy' tyres!

Wow.... you must be a fantastic rider 😉 sadly ... I can only ride with tyres that get 5 out 5 in mbuk. I must admit I don't get on with flat ones.
this is STW paddy.. ability doesn't even come into it

my websites fine...ive just not got the vreds on yet! i dont like any of the contis that come on the oranges....we normally change them for maxxis advantage or minions.but im now gonna put the bullocks on..
I bought some panaracer fire xc pros 2.1 after being convinced by reviews.
Cant really say they are any better than the specialized enduros 2.2 I had on apart from climbing but then there wasnt a lot of tread left on the enduros.
I had convinced my mate to buy a pair as well and he wasnt impressed either.
Wont be buying another set
Are the conti's stock models or OEM on the Orange's?
fat albert 2.35's today - replaced my overly worn nob nics on the ti456.
much stronger carcass, nmore predictable roll in.
ardent on the FS, not as good 🙁
oem on oranges.....ive told em a few times about it but im just a lowly shopkeeper...
I must admit, I find it much easier to spot a bad tyre than a good one!
Wow, who is stocking these tyres?
onza porcupine ,, it's getting a bit bald now
i found the Vreds for sale on a well known cycling vendors website that began with a 'W'
tyres are the bane of my life! i cant run any single plys ive tried (so far) without tearing them as soon as i start enjoying myself. dual plys are so heavy it makes me cry. havent tried any ust ones yet, quite like the look of geax dhea's, or maybe schwalbe fat alberts. anyone know how tough either of these are?
