Fat albert or high roller?

George, I used fat Albert when I went through a weight weenie stage. Pinched it on the first gap I did. I put a dh tube in and didn't take long for me to pinch again.

With a high roller I very rarely pinched.

This was when I threw my bikes into the side of walls when I gapped though rather than making them clean haha.

Whereas my first puncture since having the bike in over 2years was at radfest and I didn't get another until I sold the bike. The reason I didnt like the tyre much was the lack of grip / too squishy.

George just found 2x almost new kenda kinetic 2.35's which came on the bike, when you get your 24 if you pay for postage you can have one to try on the rear. They weigh 1150g vs 600something on the fat Albert but were 10x better.

I'm a lot cleaner at gaps now so not too worried. Also can't find a 42a maxxis anywhere. Jack has a 60a one I can have which I'll use if the fat Albert is terrible
