I had i maxxis but its way too heavy for the bike and makes it feel shit.Please help me out.I don't think a digger would be good for trials because firstly they are desighned for dirt jumping and secondly the walls are really curved so arguably you wont have as much tyre on the surface your riding.

26inch Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 they'll be alright but you'll have to run them pretty hard to avoid pinches. that the same with any light tire.I used to think getin a heavy maxxis would make my bike ride crap but you dont notice it on there. theyre so much better than anythin else ive used. bein able to run them soft makes balencing and hoping so much easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Tioga Blue Dragons are good.If you keep gettign pinches run higher pressure/thicker tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Maxxis tyres are pretty grippy, but aparently they are to slow for really streety stuff.Don't go near the Tioga Factory DH's, you'd be much better off with the DMR, the tiogas pinch really easily and its like riding on grease in the wet!I just got a Schwalbe Space for the back of my Iolo, and it seems pretty awesome, still pretty light and thin walled, but I think it shouldn't pinch quite as badly as my tioga, and it definatly grips alot better. Think there meant to be about 15/16 quid, but an LBS had like 6 of them for £8 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djb Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 the diggers are decent tires pretty grippy too!seconded, it's what i've used on the rear for the last six months and think it's fine. Good grip and only had one pinch but I do run them at about 40psi, not very trialsy but I can't stand soggy tyresthanks you lot but can you please give me more chose cus im struggeling to find one i like.try here:http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....showtopic=30829you should still be able to find most of them online somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Bleech Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 I have been using my maxxis holyrollar in the rain (still bloody grippy) and run around 30psi with a kenda dh 26" tube and haven't punctured and I did this...bbboooommm2.mpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
