Mine turned up today. Did a test to see if it would pop a tyre on. Magic mary 29er 2.6 on dt ex511. Front wheel, so no insert.
I fitted this tyre last week, wouldn’t go up with a track pump, had to use the ghetto garden sprayer inflator.
Popped the tyre off the bead completely on both sides all the way around. Bead sat in the rim bed.
Tried without the valve first timw, pinged straight up very rapidly no bother whatsoever.
Second time, had another go with the valve core in , again having popped the beads off both sides. Did manage to get the tyre to inflate & pop on, but I needed to manipulate the tyre a little bit around the valve area to get it to start to seal.
Happy with that for £30, even better for £20.
Yes it is loud!
