Carlperkins Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 i have a monty eagle claw rear tyre on my mod, did a few pedal ups today onto a wall about 2 feet high, small stuff to get the feel for the bike etc. when i landed on top of the wall on the brick the brake has the wheel but the tyre skids really easy on the brick??! is this a shite tyre? or because its new has it just got to wear in etc? my holy rollers on my echo 24 stick to any brick they touch. so i was a bit disappointed in the skiddage on the mod lol.

AlexxRogers Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Eagle Claw's I've found have been amazing tyres. Maybe try less pressure? Plus like you said if the tyre is new, it could be quite slippery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty221ti Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 cut every second square of. but yeah, when the tyres are brand new they dont grip as well, i have them and they are amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Better than my old Maxis and from what I can remember more stable than a try-all I tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Found they were pretty much the best mod tyres out there apart from maybe the Stiky Lites. Like pretty much all tyres they take a little bit of scrubbing in, but should be good to go after that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlperkins Posted June 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 nice one, it was only a 20 minute session but i must have slipped off about 15-20 times. didn't do a lot for the confidence but it should get better after a good sesh! cheers guys!
