Great as a rear just a bit wide. Smorgasbord is a great alternative

First ride this week with CM front and rear on the C456 Evo. Didn’t find it noticeably cumbersome and it gave great grip, climbing and cornering. I’ll certainly be leaving it on the rear for a bit. Was running a Racing Ralph but now the mud has returned it was too slippery!

Not officially tubeless ready but set up tubeless very easily for me on Flow Ex. No issues at all so far and I’ve been running the front for months. Before that had them on a Nomad on Flows. Also fine.

They are excellent but definitely different characteristics to DHF and DHR II not better or worse just different.

And oddly the sister company can’t seem to progress or even process my order for a handlebar of which they say they have 40 of. Both members of staff on the phone say it is weird and it should have shipped on the 2nd. Yet also seem unable to do anything to actually make it ship.

Weird huh.

My recons had significantly less clearance than the rebas that followed them, so you are right to wonder about it.

Not bloomin surprised, its a big 50a/42a tyre and doubt the enduro would be that much better: I run a CM on the rear tubeless (with a 2.5 Minion up front) but thats my trips away combo like the Alps. Smorgasbord rear with Hans Dampf front is my preferred choice for my riding around Surrey way

Try a bit more pressure or get stronger legs?

Maybe go up a cog size at the back for winter?

Speeds tend to be lower anyway so you’re unlikely to spin out and you still get the grip but it’s easier to keep momentum up?

Or, as above, get a fat bike – you don’t know what drag is until you’ve got a 4″ tyre at 7psi 🙂

Exactly, quit your moaning and get on with ignoring the pain like the rest of us 😉

I had no problems with them last winter 😉

Get to the back and suffer in silence with the rest of us Darkcyan 😉

I run a 2.4CM TE I’m the back of my Stooge. I didn’t find it draggy at all? Infact I was surprised by how well it rolled even on tarmac considering the size of the thing (especially on Dually’s) and how supple it feels.
Awesome grip out on the trails tho.

Tyre choice is arguably the biggest game changer on a bike, particularly in the British winter, so everyone has their opinion and their favourite combo. Tyre pressure, rim width, trail surface, riding style and rider fitness all play their part too in how a tyre feels.

Don’t worry DC, judging by local conditions last winter we’ll soon be doing our best not to crash into trees… praying our tyres were more draggy. 😉

Would love to recommend this company but the tyre I ordered was despached on the first of oct
And still has not arrived ,was told it has to be missing for 13 days before they can take any action ,
After 13 days they told me to go and check with post office ? Have had to use PayPal claim to recover monies paid
Due to no answers from customer service dept. so please consider this when ordering from affore mentioned company .
