ben_travis Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Some people run them soft (Ben Travis+Luke Cockbreath) and some people run them hard (Duncan Shoe+Moi). Just run them how you like and for what suits your style and rim width. Mine are at 40psi mother f**ker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filo Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 From my experience they don't like being run at 60psi. I've had 2 different tires have the same issue. The outer carcass separates from the bead. I fount the thread had snapped. Both tires had 60psi when they failed, one was much worse then the other. I will say while running them they were truly amazing, sadly they don't suit my needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk24 Posted April 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Think I might give them ago. Got to get some better cranks on my fourplay to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big G Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Are they good for a full on trials bike ie echo. Or are they more of a street tyre. Can get a "24" fat Albert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can get a "24" fat Albert Been fitting these to a few plus size kids 24" bikes at work recently. They're fairly light and have a nice soft sidewall If I ever got another 24" I'd try one out. Only thing to mention is clearance may be an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niconj Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Clearance on an Echo isn't an issue, at least not for @Ross McArthur. When I rode them on my Echo I didn't have any complaints but then again, I was even worse back then than I am now. The BCC is something nice to have though. More so than some side knobs I think. I only had one puncture even though I don't know at what pressure. At the end of this video. I didn't really hit it hard but I remember the stone being very sharp on the edges.

Mikee Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 @Big G Clearance is an issue with fat alberts, however. My mate is running one on his echo and he uses a half link so that the tyre clears the frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperclip Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 I think they look so good on a wider rim but for me I would just worry about punctures all the time. Bring out dual ply conts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 I run them on both my bikes and love them, on the echo I run about 25psi and on the fourplay I run them at 40 ish. I only had one mare with punctures on the echo, got three in one night, first was caused by me not making a gap and ramming wheel into a sharp metal edge. The same gap caused the other two punctures but I was also using my spare 1.75-2.0 tubes which became very thin when stretched into the 2.4 conti so they didn't stand much of a chance.

niconj Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 I found that at the same tire pressure they are harder than the holy rollers. This is probably due to the sturdier side walls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big G Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Was expecting a deeper sidewall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These tires are originally designed for street trials use i.e. higher pressures. They are for pure trials like the High Rollers for street trials: the best option out of no real fitting one. If you don't care about the weight, try to get some High Roller Super Tacky or Swampthing Super Tacky. They are pretty good tires even though they weigh around 300-400gr. more than the conti. Edit: The High Roller ST isn't too expensive on this site and they seem to have it in stock. Edited October 14, 2016 by niconj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think tire clearance is only an issue for the height not the width of the tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big G Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Right got you. 2.7 is a bit extreme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Might be ok if you cut down the side nobs a bit. I've got a cut down 2.5 high roller and it looks smaller than my Contis. Ill post a comparison pic later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
