anything from the maxxis range with dual ply dh sidewalls. they cost 20-24 quid but are well worth it. i currentley have a hansventure on, the pinch protrection is second to none and the grip and feel of the tyre is really really good.
i'd say more comparable to pressure washing all the rocks then drying them so they wernt slippy its a pretty pointless thing to do. are you sure its tar you have seen on rails not just manky grind wax?
alot of xc riders seem to like them, i think they're pretty powerful. i'v had a play on the xt brakes in 185 rotor and they were amaaaaaazing. really really powerful. should be ok, just get a nice big rotor.
and there was me thinking king stuff was "precision" made. it definatley sounds like somthings too tight, i'm not an expert on king stuff (so dont listen) but i'd say the cones are too tight.
ok, http://www.lakelandlimited.co.uk/product.aspx/!8976 there you lazy fanny why not search for a product that works like sticky stuff remover rather than trying shit that wont like white spirit.
howdy peeps, after just having a slice of bread with "olivio" on it then loosing the butter/marge and putting clover on the second i can safley say clover wins by a large "marge"in as my favourite buttery spread. who else is gay enough to have a favourite marge/butter!
