Ali C Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 bit of both really, light is quite a priority though??/Options ali?cant have a good light tyre Tom! The best by far is the rubber queen, but that lacks grip and stability. Maxxis grip better, but the light ones have NO protection and come up narrower. You could try a kenda single wall, but they are slippery and have no puncture potection at all.I would say stick with a dual ply maxxis or wait for the new conties and cut some knobs off to save weight. The performance from the grip and thicker sidewalls out weights the weight saving by far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Rankin Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Cheers ali, might be ordering a maxxis dual ply in future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Swales Posted April 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) You might remember a week or so ago I posted an article featuring all of the latest news from Cerny Trials Club near Paris, including their revamped outdoor trials area and the competition to be held their this weekend just gone. The outdoor area at Cerny looks amazing, and the plans to double the size of it mean it can only get better!Here are the full results, write-up and a gallery of photos from the comp:www.tribalzine.com Edited April 8, 2009 by Ben Swales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Swales Posted April 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 While the details of how to enter these competitions in France won't be of interest to most of us, the round-up of photos from last season's comps is certainly worth a look!
