JamieWilliams Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Hi all I just noticed the Monty rear tyre has go heavier take a look Tartybikes Any one no Why Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncy H Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 My guess is that when they are made the weight can very a fair bit from tyre to tyre and in this case when they came to measure them up for frame compatibility dimensions they may have measured them again and found it was a different weight?

stunt man t Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 thats like 50g more though ? i no its not alot but if youre obsessed with weight then it means alot.. something that is 8.02kg would then be under 8 and then they can join the sub 8 crew lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cai Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 I wouldn't worry about it. Those Echo's have such a hard compound that their grip just doesn't compare to the Maxxis's or Try-All's (never tryed a Monty so can't really say).
