  2. This vid has some good sections. The idea at the beginning is cool. Tetris lol. Then later in the Edit is Benito doing some dual line clips with Paolo. Love this vid.

  3. Just found this on Vimeo and it has really caught my attention. I know very little about who's behind this at the moment. Thought i would share as im sure it will turn a few heads and be something to chat about. What are your thoughts.

  4. Don't think I can trust the opinion of anyone who thinks the Hot S was a grippy tyre :rolleyes: They were awful!

    Another vote on Try-all, so what if they wear out sooner, even a worn out one is still grippier than tyres meant for XC, they are a decent weight too. Cutting a tyre isn't a bad thing either, the comparison to grinding a rim was a good one.

    I was going to say i remember washing out on a Hot S on a XC bike when i was younger. There is a glaring fact that i recognise the Try-all tyre is grippy. Im not that bothered about it wear rate. I was on the search for another tyre that might be out there as a alternative because there is a big cycling industry out there and maybe someone from the forum had a answer.

    The choice of a Try-all tyre is not that i don't like it but more that i wanted a option before making a final choice.

    Might get a Try-all sticky and get a blade to chop it down a bit. @ around the £30 mark its the way it looks i will go.
