Hi Chaps,

Is anyone running a WTB Convict? I like the Vigilante, and was thinking a Convict might be good for riding in Madeira if it stops raining!

Anyone compare it against a Minion DHF?

Cheers

Ricks

I ran one on the front for a bit as a replacement for a magic mary since I like the vigilante. Convict was ok but wasn't as good as the Mary and I've gone back.

Not long fitted one to the front, nice and big volume proper 2.5" Have only used them in the dry and have been impressed with the grip.

They feel a lot like a Magic Mary, been a few years since I've used a DHF.

Had one on since before Christmas.
Works nicely in soft loam, mud etc and feels better than a Shorty on hardpack surfaces (but not quite the same level of grip in softer stuff).

I've got the 2.5" light/high grip and it's lasting well too.

Have been very happy with the Convict paired with a Vigilante on the back.

How do they cope with mud? Are they fast clearing?
