Have been running a 2.1 DTC Kenda Blue Groove on the front of my bike for a month or so now.
It was sitting in my shed rejected for about a year as I never used to get on with it.
I'm (trying to) ride the front wheel much more these days and I really am liking this tyre now. SO wanted to give an unsung tyre a bit of praise.
It's been pretty wet and slimy around these parts on and off for the past few weeks and it's offered much better grip than the 2.25 Maxxis Advantage that it has replaced, which used to float around not clearing mud as easily.
That is all...
popular tyre over the pond apparently ! I tried selling a pair on here and got no takers mind !If you fancey some spares ??!! 😉
I used to like mine but theyve lost their semi-short lived place in my tyre 'stable'
2 nevegals (1 wire, 1 folding) prematurely failing (loads of tread left) at the bead made me doubt somewhat, I know others have had the same problem and Ive read on here the sidewalls aren't great
The 2.1" Nevegals I used for a load ofdifferent riding, but on balance I prefer something just that little bit bigger, the 2.35"s would be better, but theyd be even slower (theyre not exactly quick rollerS)
The 2.35"s on my XM719 rims would be pushing it for shape I reckon, especially given nevegals dont have any bigger side tread, they appear pretty round profiled, narrow-ish rims wouldnt help
If they did a 26" 2.2" i might still be interested, on the front at least
