Aug 13, 2002 1:04 PM | | right!I went for my first ride on them yesterday and they where much better than i thought they would be!
I reversed the rotation for the rear tyre,on asphalt they felt a bit wobbley on corners but you need to keep in mind that they are quite narrow and i had the rear at 50 psi and the front at 40 psi,it wasn't raining at the time but the ground was wet here and there,i was amazed how good they where on slight mud but the narrowness probably helps but in deep mud they spun just like any other non mud tyre but they do shed mud quickly like my michelin wildgrippers comp s lites in green.
all in all i was happy with the performance of this tyre,sorry cloxxki and thank you! |

Aug 14, 2002 4:03 AM | | :-) Glad my advise wasn't a waste of your cash! I already couldn't imagine that a tire that has brought me 3 wins could be so bad to an other rider.
How did you like their comfort? For sure it's not like other true 1.7's to me, more like a true 2.0. I race mine around 3 bars front and rear, and the only puncture was due to a MAYOR nail that almost went thorugh to wreck the rim.
I have yet to try the reverse direction on the rear, so far normal direction has worked okay for me, neutral enough. Mud tractions improves dramatically at lower pressures, but I think I'm too heavy to really explore it's limits in terms of low-psi riding. |
