I can imagine, for all of 5 seconds

Aye, big lad is Jamie.

I guess I'm qualified? Very similar performance wise as th only difference is the tread pattern and you can't go wrong with either. I'd say the rain king was better for mud/wet grass as it has a wider spaced tread pattern, and the DK is blockier and closer spaced so in theory better for street. The side tread pattern is, in theory, better on the Rain King than the DK as it has wider spaced knobs that would hang onto corners better. Having said that, I havn't noticed wild difference in perfomance between the 2, as the compound is the same and generally thats the most important feature. Value wise, I'd say Continental were better, actually. I just put my rain king into retirement and it was over 5 months old... I used to get about 2 months out of a ST Maxxis. Puncture wise, Rain Kings and Der Kaisers are simply amazing compared to Maxxis.

Mine was like 3 months old when it went.

I can confirm Glen did infact make that drop gap perfectly today, without going over the bars.

No worries Ben, we were frozen that day and could barely move! Will have to sort out another ride session sometime

Set to private?

I've used a Rain King for about 5 months now and I've only just put it into retirement, and thought I'd try a Der Kaiser. I have a Rubber Queen hanging around as well, but frankly I've been so imprssed with the Rain King and now the DK i've not bothered fitting it. I'd go DK/Rain King.

Well I was actually pretty impressed by the riding, but other than that it wasn't all that great.

At the time it was the lightest hub available, it came with my full bike so didn't chose it per se, I saw what remained of Porters before I even bought my bike, and I tend to do alot of front wheel moves. So no, which is why when Tart sorted me out, I opted for a different hub.

Just saw some pics on Facebook of some mates that went, the A303 looked like a f**king car park! Looked like fun though, you seemed to be able to get right up to the rocks themselves rather being restrained by a barrier?

Was good fun as always, better organised in Brighton this year but were more people trying to squeeze in with later start times to our 6.00 start so was pretty clogged up just out of Clapham.

Was gonna type a long winded reply, but Ali wrote pretty much exactly what I was gonna say haha...

No I'm not thats why its in a topic about Shropshire and I called them the Stiper Stones not Blackpool Moon Rocks.

My spoke flange just snapped off, not the first I've seen like yours though. I went for a Rockman BUB and its been excellent

Probably... I don't think it'd be thaaaaaat bad if you could change the gearing. On 15:15 it'd be pretty shit though.

I start at 6... Have a good ride!

Yeah sure I have not very often I have to say, but yeah it does happen. I wouldn't say its a force they're designed to take though.

This is a redonkulous topic but hilarious and informative all the same.

Werd, gaps looking better

Has anyone ridden the Stipe stones (sp?)? My mates gf's parents said they were 'like moon rocks' which possibly = trials mecca?

Either: Make sure its fully bedded in, will take a while. The brake isn't powerful enough full stop... Get a new brake or bigger rotor. Learn to get over the front more on gaps so you help the brake out as muh as possible.

They're the same thing I think they might be fairly brittle, so riding along and dropping your bike on the floor probably isn't the best idea.
