TOMTRIALS123 Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Recently for my Hardtail MTB, which I am using at the moment for trials, I bought a Schwalbe Muddy Mary DH Tyre for the front (26" x 2.5") and a Schwalbe Nobby Nic for the rear (26" x 2.25"). Do you think that these would be suitable for an all round riding style cause I do a lot of DH but I want to be able to transfer Trials skills into my riding for some more fun . Any pointers?

bing Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Heavy tyres I'm led to believe. They'll be grippy though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradJohnson Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Why do you have the wider tyre on the front, and the smaller on the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsbikingnunn Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Why do you have the wider tyre on the front, and the smaller on the rear for DH you want slightly more grip on the front to stop you from washing out on tight corners that you lean into Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 In trials you spend a lot of time on the back wheel, so we generally have wider on rear and light, thinner tyre on the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
