Manus-Rider Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Hey, iam looking to get rid off my try all slick and buy a kenda small block 8 and was woundering what your opinion is of the Kenda or any over recomendations for tyers. Thanks charlie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shetlandtrialsrider Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 I went from a try all to a kenda, the grip is just as good and the tyre is lighter and cheeper go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manus-Rider Posted April 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Cheers for that, but i have heard that the grip on the kenda in the wet is rubbish? What do you think 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 You can run super low pressures in the kendas too, which dramatically helps with the grip. But yeah, in the wet they aren't really good at all, after all they are pretty much bmx tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p_ruskin Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Mine is terrible, its only really good on rocks it wont grip on bricks or on anything in wet weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirt jumper jake Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Useless in the wet, found mine was only decent at anything under 15psi really, but they are super bouncy at low pressure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borat Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 They have nice bounce and grip, but I'm never buying one purely for the amount of people puncture them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gu trials Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 they're rubbish, no grip in the wet or on pallets in the dry, and they give punchers really easily, go for a creepy or tryall light ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 You have to run uber low pressures for grip. I've never had a puncture on them yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 You have to run uber low pressures for grip. I've never had a puncture on them yet I like my front tyre to be about 20psi, sometimes slightly harder, this means Small Blocks would be terrible for me. My holy roller is nice and stable as well as grippy between 20 and 25 psi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalopS Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 (edited) If your riding comps/natty get a proper tire like a try-all. If your just doing street a kenda will probably do... Edited April 17, 2011 by CalopS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
