Little Yoshi Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 (edited) I'm trying to find a new back tyre due to my current one being to big. Can't be bigger than 2.5 and more suited for natty then street. Any ideas? Edited December 22, 2010 by Little Yoshi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 There is so little choice... For trials trials, you've got the 2.4 high roller, the 2.4 i think swampthing that I noticed CRC sold, and there's the Bluegroove. I've used a high roller and a swampthing, but my swampthing was old by then so the high roller appeared to shit on it. I would just go for the high roller because I know it works.

craigjames Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 I'm using a 2.4 Schwable Fat Albert, comes up fairly narrow on a Echo TR rear rim but seems pretty grippy. Far from cheap though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 (edited) Sure, it's as good a tyre as you need. If you're doing hoppy trials, get one. Get the 2.5 one though, the 2.7 one is too big. Edited December 27, 2010 by Revolver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Gibbs Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 What did you use them for? I had 1 on my Azonic DH bike and 1 on my old Monty urban trials bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Gibbs Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 I used it for a bit of natty but mainly street. I found the compound too hard and not very grippy in the dry and absolutly leathal in the wet. Not too bad for rolling resistance or wear rate but outright grip is slightly less than average.
