Clawz114 Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) In my humble opinion rubber queens are garbage unless you're a beginner and dont ride on anything too technical or are an elite rider and are only after light weight How anyone can say that is beyond me. Ive used Tiogas, Kendas, Michelin, Echo, Continental (Rubber Queens that im using atm) and Maxxis. I could easily use any of these tyres and ride just as normal, and im definitely not a beginner, nor am i an elite rider. *edit* I dont consider myself to be smooth, and i havnt had a single puncture in the 6 months that i had had them so far.

Do you usually ride on street or the rock sea defenses around Worthing/Brighton etc? I'm just saying that for anything thats not perfectly level (i.e rocks) the RQ is a pretty bad tyre because of its width/height making it want to roll around all over the shop. Try a sidehop off the side of a sloped rock and see what happens. If they work for you then fine, just sayin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Right on, fair enough. In that case you'll be fine with whatever tyre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
