Little Yoshi Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Right now running a DMR moto digger on the front. It does the job but by lord it makes the job hard. Any one know of any 24 tyres out there? Or any in the pipeline just to give me some hope? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockman Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Not really sure on 24" riding but what about something like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.KYDD Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Not really sure on 24" riding but what about something like this. OVERKILL! For a front tyre you don't need anything over 2.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew62 Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) In terms of offering you hope..... The 24" continental tyre Danny mac is testify and developing. Edited May 9, 2011 by Matthew62 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.KYDD Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 (edited) Yeh but that will surely be a street tyre. i.e fairly large volume, designed for high pressures and fast rolling. Not ideal for natural, comp-style riding. Seriously, get a block 8. They are spot on And just cause tarty don't have them in stock doesn't mean they aren't available. Checked out any other online retailers, or ask your LBS if they can get some in?

p_ruskin Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 My Block8 is pretty good, works better if you run it backwards though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambo Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 (edited) had to look on the internet for hours to find this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - The bigger 24" brother of the super grippy Small Block 8 tyre from reknowned manufacturer Kenda, designed by legendary rider John Tomac. - Made with a harder centre tread (60a) and a softer side tread (50a) to reduce rolling resistance but still give good grip when on off camber surfaces. - Created with a special slow rebound rubber to try and help make the tyre more predictable and grippy. - Ideal for use on street or dry rocks. - Due to it's slimmer profile, it's ideally suited to the front of your 24"! - Banks of 8 low profile blocks make the tyre as grippy as possible. - Relatively thin sidewalls help keep the weight of the tyre down. - Available in 24 x 2.10". - Weight: 576g Dont look like a comp tyre to me. unless your comps are on street and dry rocks? Pretty sure I remember seeing Ben Savage riding with a front and back Schwalbe on his 24" Possibly a smart sam or Some form of racing ralph Edited May 10, 2011 by jambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theyre good tyres when run backwards and a lower psi than normal, love mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
