Chunky monkeys

Does anyone use these as a rear tyre?
Got one on the front and love it and need a new rear tyre so might try one?

Tried it for a bit, found it too big TBH.

Smorg at the mo, can’t fit a CM in.

Brilliant as a rear – high volume so dead comfy. Don’t seem to tear, last well.

Not used anything but Smorgs for a couple of years now, can’t fault them.

Cheers
Will try a smorg!

I’ve a chunky on front and a Smorgasbord on rear, seems to work well for me…doubt a chunky would fit the rear on my bike.

+1 for the smorg rear / monkey front combo

On the full sus I can’t fit a CM on the rear so make do with a Smorgasbord. Great combo.

I did have a CM on a Rabbit Hole rim on the back of my Karate Monkey. Came up HUGE!

Great tyres.

I mostly liked the Smorg as a rear but found it did tend to let go a bit on off camber sections.

Just thought I’d mention that.

I’d echo that experience, but one of the things I really like about the smorgs is that they let go progressively and give you plenty of warning before they lose grip completely, unlike some other tyre where you can seemingly go in an instant from cornering to sitting on the ground wondering what just happened.

If I ever gain enough speed to notice, I’ll let you know.
🙂

They felt a bit lacking in edge grip on the front when I first started using them, but I’ve not had one let go properly.

I mince, therefore I am.

Got a CM on the back of the Spitfire. I like it better than the HR I has and the Smorg.

Seated on a Flow.

great stuff!
Will try both! Only a tenner each at mo. F…ing bargain

Go for it. Got the combo on mine. No problems so far. Hold air tubeless really well too.

Ran CM’s F&R toobless on Flow’s for a trip to Spain a few years back and they were faultless.
