2.4 Moto's -or-2.1 Tioga DH's ??(8 posts)

	2.4 Moto's -or-2.1 Tioga DH's ??	29 Feb 11, 2002 7:00 PM
	I'll be using a Mavic 221/radial laced on front & Richey OCR Comp rear....I havn't tried the 2.4-it seems so wide for a 221 rim-will it work ?......2.4 Moto's sure do look good on my Mammoth's (too heavy)

	Are you a bigger guy?	matt in marin Feb 11, 2002 8:23 PM
	A 2.4 moto is a fairly fat tire and a 221 is a fairly narrow rim. A lot of people run setups like that happily. I found that I got too much squirm under my 225lbs during hard cornering to take. Moved up to Rhyno Lite XL's - problem solved. Much better tire profile and ride "feel" too. Try that combo. You might not have a problem with it. -
	Use use the 2.4 on a 221	shiggy©® Feb 11, 2002 8:39 PM
	No problems at all. I run it at about 28psi and I weight 175.

	Get 2.4 Mutano Raptor....	Forrest Feb 11, 2002 9:44 PM

	I hate my moto	DAS Feb 12, 2002 8:09 AM
	Moto is heavy and slow. Great for ruts, but I hate it.

	Never tried Tiogas but my 2.4 motoraptors are great.	LEF-T Feb 12, 2002 12:41 PM
	Mine are mounted on Rynolites and I am still waiting for my first flat. I weigh 200 and only run 20-25 psi. No rim pinches after 7 months. I just completed my third desert x-c race with low pressure. I past several ss's fixing flats on narrow racing tires with much higher pressure. I love the ride it's almost like full suspension. No sidewall cuts either, they weigh 780 gr each, but they are bomb proof.

	cool...I have em mounted up !! thanks dudes......	29 Feb 12, 2002 7:25 PM
	probably will roll faster than the Tioga's i bet...
