0zzy Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 im in need of a new tyre for my mod for the rear, ive used maxxis creppy crawler and echo before and defo found the maxxis to be better, im looking for something different to before so im stuck with the choice of monty or try-all the monty is lighter which i wouldnt mind but grip is defo more essential and so is wear life so whats your views on either tyre? ill be mostly riding equally natural and street (if that makes any difference).also what has happened to dob rims for 20" on tarty i can only find 19" rims i want a 20" one though and cant find them any where.any ideas on what happened to them? and could some one point me in the right dirrection to get one.also what light weight and reasonably strong cranks would any body recomend as my onza cranks look to be at the end of there life.thanks in advance ozzy .. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickkkkk Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 (edited) hi, i'd say try-alls are the best but they last 2 minutes (i tried a set). theres nothing wrong with creepy crawlers at half the price which a lot of pros use... if your competing like me i keep a set of new ( but worn in) tyres for that day and put my other set of crawlers back on after the trial. I wouldn't use try-alls unless u were sponsered to be honest. hope this has helped as i had the same problem last year as for cranks my trialtech 1s are superb nuff said lolNick Edited December 29, 2008 by Nickkkkk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Trials 31 Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 I'd go for a Monty over the Tryall. I had the Tryall for a short time and I hated them. I agree creepy crawlers are awesome but they wear very quickly. They have a good price on them here: http://www.themontyshop.com/Tell them Jordan sent you. Monty cranks, I've found to be some of the best lightest cranks out there. Montyshop has them for 83 pounds. Not sure on the Dob rim. I find it quite odd that for such a lightweight rim they would only carry the rear. ( Which is most likely to collapse)Matter of fact haven't seen any Dob products any where any more.

J Trials 31 Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Can't go wrong with the Monty's mate. They feel sort of like an in between the Maxxis and Tryall. Good combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve@banbury-trials Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 i've found the white try-all's to have a longer wear life than black ones ,but this does mean the grip is less than the blacks but its still enough grip for most things .steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
