N.Wood Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Seriously, don't get that tyre or anything over a 2.35 for the front. That goes for trials especially, but also mtbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountian goat Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 any reason for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Yep, you want as little weight as possible out front. Look at anyone who rides a bike well, and they'll be running a 2.0 - 2.35 tyre up front.most use a Try-All stiky or Maxxis 2.35 single ply super tacky. These offer good grip, enough puncture protection, light weight, fairly big carcass to aid grip and are cheaper than the Comp 32. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 This is for trials right?Get a Maxxis single ply 2.35 super tacky, seriously. You don't want a wide, heavy tyre up front for no reason, will make learning a lot harder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
