Borgschulze Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 I see where all the black Try-All cranks went from Tartybikes... everyone on this damn forum has them, oh well I got Middleburns on the way in Silver. I was going to try the Muddy Mary, but I certainly don't remember it being 850 grams... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freetrial Posted January 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 I was going to try the Muddy Mary, but I certainly don't remember it being 850 grams... Actually, Schwalbe now states 870g, but on the 2008 / 2009 boxes I have in the shop, it says 850g. This is the folding Freeride version of the tire. Linky The last one I had I weighed when it was worn and cut as I like, and my ParkTool DS-1 scale said 730g. Again, I do recommend this tire.

Borgschulze Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 (edited) Oh it's the 2.35 version... I was looking at the 2.5 version, which is only 990 grams.. not bad! I wasn't terribly happy with my Big Betty though, that tire wore out really fast, I only rode it for a few months or so.. started with about half tread life, and finished with full slick in the center.

freetrial Posted January 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Oh it's the 2.35 version... I was looking at the 2.5 version. Yup! But it`s closer to a Maxxis 2.5. I run the same one on my DH bike. Wicked Will might be another tire to try out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyoli Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Thanks! Not from what I`ve heard. I`ve ridden mine since early may, and it`s holding up just fine so far. Does need a booster, though. why do you say it if you're riding a booster ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freetrial Posted January 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Same kit, different frame: Here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mostly, as you can se in the first post, ran a single halflink on a regular chain. This should be no worries IF you set it up properly. Always use new pins for the chain et.c. The brake lined up just fine with this setup. Later I went for a full length chain with the same 18/15 ratio. No problems. tension and brakes were just fine. On this setup I used Echo TR clamps. Anyway... The frame is gone now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came across this post searching for anyone who has used this tire. Picked this tire up for cheap, 2.35 Gooey Gluey Freeride casing, 905 grams. I see potential for knob trimming, but it won't make a difference for me, I'm not that good that I require extra grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
