goanywhere Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Hello, got a very frustrating problem. The tyre clearance on the my koxx levelboss is very small (3.5 is the biggest it can take) and was wondering if there is any tyres that size that are avalible these days that won't make me smash my rim and pop inertubes. Thanks, olie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Wait what tyre are you running that's over 3.5??! I've never seen a tyre on a trials bike over 2.7 What are you running currently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, olie I used to use a 2.5 Maxxis Minion or a Try All Tyre on the rear of my Levelboss (similar age). Never had a problem. Is it just rubbing one side?

dngr2self Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I had a 2.7 High roller on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niconj Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 High roller In fact right next to me is a high roller super tacky dual ply 2.35 26" tyre... Does the super tacky bring any performance boost over the normal dual ply 60a? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 It's a softer compound, supposedly better grip but faster wear Time. Don't know the real world difference though. As for selling mine I'm not sure what its worth. I'll get some pics xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Does the super tacky bring any performance boost over the normal dual ply 60a? Yep, loads better than the maxxpro. Tis 42 on the shore hardness scale compared to 60. Maxxpro will work on dry concrete no worries, but if you ride anything like rocks / logs / anything wet you'll want a super tacky. They used to do a 40a slow reezay but phased that out. Also a 2.3 Tioga factory DH is pretty wide, the side knobs stick out pretty far as it was originally designed to be a sorta semi spike / mud tyre. Lethal on wet concrete. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Does this really matter when only doing trials? Depends how many spots you ride around to, how many skids you do and a few other things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just rubbing one side? Yeh its hard to get it to stop rubbing, tried a 2.5 nevagal with a quick wheel true and it still stoped with one spin.

There's no nature nearby where I live. I also only just started with trials so there aren't many spots I ride (to). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goanywhere Posted April 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Cut your side knobs off Cut them off the nevegal and its all sorted, can't hit the rim if I try and feels hella bouncy.
