Connor Powell Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Hello all,Looking at getting a mountain king, but ive seen two sorts, 26 x 2.4 Folding or 26 x 2.4 Wire. Whats the difference between the two? any advantages or dis-advantages.Thanks, Connor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grant_hundley Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Wire will have a heavier metal tire bead. Meaning it will be less likely to get tire roll but is 100g or so heavier usually.folding bead will be more prone to tire roll as it can stretch a bit... If that makes sense ?I'd got with folding just use a bit more psi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley-Wood Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 i may be wrong but im guessing its like my old bmx tyres theres a wire strip going round the sidewall of the wire one? and the other one is just normal so it folds alot easier.if its the same as bmx tyres lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
