Dual plys are tougher and far heavier, DH or fit/determined serial tyre wreckers only.

Dual ply is thicker, heavier and more robust.

If it's for DH, go dual ply. For trail use single ply should be fine unless you regularly punture or ride very rocky terrain.

Fair bit heavier, I use 2.5 dual plys on my DH rig, over a kilo per tyre I think!!

I would stick to single ply for a chameleon.

I found the single ply at All Terrain Cycles for 17quid. Ended up paying 20 at CRC as I was ordering other stuff at the same time.
