Stebass Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 (edited) I’m after a 26inch rear tyre which is the one to have? Edited April 27, 2019 by Stebass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbertlemon102 Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) For me, the jitsie. I always thought it was a weight weenie/punctures every 5 mins sort of tyre, like the non-Kevlar Veeco tyre. Canadian Kevin was telling me how he’s had them since they were released with zero punctures, so I thought I’d give them a go- been super impressed. Super light, super grippy, and if you’ve seen the amount of dents in my rear wheel- not a single puncture, which is impressive. I had a slow punny in hull but I’m pretty sure I must’ve run over something unsavoury... plus, they’re not even pricey! Will be using them as standard from now on.You could be talking about street bikes, in which case, ignore all of that Edited April 28, 2019 by Herbertlemon102 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They feel alright to me, but I mainly ride street- so I can’t give you too much of an in depth report on that. I’ve not personally had mine fold dangerously, If that helps.

SamKidney Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 I like the Monty Race on my 26”. No punctures (yet), super grippy, springy but surprisingly stable on off camber/rough stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwtrials Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Anyone tried the new veetire synthesis? I'm too puncture prone for the other veetire's, but this one seems to have a sidewall insert? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hedstr0m Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 (edited) What tyre do you use for street riding? And what width? The widest that fit? The rim on my back wheel is 41mm (~1. 6") wide and has a very old and very worn Monty 2,45 tyre that need replacing. And since I almost only ride street I'm looking at Maxxis Holly Roller 2,4 for the back and 2,2 for the front.

I'm in the US and they can be had for relatively cheap (not the 24" version however, $$$ Oi!) I do only street and almost always near sand and the Maxxis compound stays supple for the life of the tyre. The Kenda (K Rad) compound gets hard fairly quickly and looses grip and Schwalbe tyres just wear out too quickly. I tried the Conti X Kings and Race Kings, but they have too much of an MTB tread and slide off skinny rails and don't carve concrete so well. The Holy Rollers are just too easy. They tick all the boxes for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
