Brisa Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Ahhh its looking a good now mark, just last time i seen a pic it has big blue forks... I got myself a t-pro, waiting on a bash arriving so i can ride it. Makes my big bike feel all slugish though :( I dont know what rear tyre i have, it was thrown in part of a swap... would look like im after one of them for the back before someone realises it far too cheap!

Mark W Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Sorry for bumping this out of oblivion again, but I thought it'd be better than putting a new topic - but what the crap does "Slow Reezay" mean, compound wise? What characteristics does it give? Oh, and the tyre's still properly grippy. It feels weird in some ways, but nice in others. It doesn't react like my old Luna used to (i.e. it grips :) - nah, just doesn't gaps where you twist mid-gap and it lands at an angle it compresses and expands in a weird way), so that needs getting used to. Either that or I'm just running it too flat... So yeah, any compound help would be great :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartridge Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 what the crap does "Slow Reezay" mean, compound wise? What characteristics does it give?← Returns to its original shape slowly - meaning it leeches around stuff, and grips better than a 'fast' compound :- The CC's are Super Tacky though...

Mark W Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Fair enough. Does that mean it lasts for a shorter length of time, or is this similar to pad compounds in so much as soft doesn't necessarily mean a shorter life span?

Pork Pie Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 I've found super tacky to last a fair while longer than slow reezay Mark :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Cheers Dave :- One thing I found weird about the Creepy Crawlers was that the tread's quite shallow? Still grippy as hell, I was just thinking that there's gonna be less life in them in total, but I guess if the compound doesn't wear super fast it doesn't matter :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pork Pie Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Cheers Dave :) One thing I found weird about the Creepy Crawlers was that the tread's quite shallow? Still grippy as hell, I was just thinking that there's gonna be less life in them in total, but I guess if the compound doesn't wear super fast it doesn't matter :P ← I was a bit tired last night, so didn't really explain it fully :D Basically, I've found ST's to last alot longer, in comparison, than SR's. Still though, I've had tyres last me a hell of a lot longer than an ST. What I mean is, a slow reezay lasted me about 2 months I'd say, with regular amounts of riding, and in the end it was worn down a lot :-" Whereas I've had my Super Tacky for about 5 months so far (bearing in mind I had around a month off) and there's still atleast a month in it I'd say. So yeah, they still don't last that long, but do last a buit longer than Slow Reezays. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Tom Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 So are the Maxxis minion super tackys going to be/are the same price as CCs? If so I'm getting another for definate when mine runs out. But if its from SuperCycles that means a £6 postage charge :closedeyes: . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Update: Rear now bald and needs replacing... Is this sorta wear rate consistent with what other people have found? Just over 2 months? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CH!P Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 They wear quick... but I got longer than that out of mine (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Hmm, I think it'd be better it you managed to find out how many hours you put them through, because I could say that my Slow Reezay's have lasted well over 5 months and still have plenty of tread left, which would be a pretty in-accurate statement as people have completely rinced their's in about 6 weeks (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Star Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Sweet, i will proberly get some of them now. :- Mat (Y)" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 I was undercharged that day (damn them!) but anyway, still i got charged the PROPER price for them this time and there only 19 quid, great deal IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Yeah, I've ridden that bike to school almost every day that I've had it sorted, riding a bit of street for an hour on the way home, then ride for like 4 or 5 hours Monday and Thursday nights, then most of Sunday and Saturday evening... so I guess it's not too bad... Starting to slip now though on stuff it really shouldn't be slipping on, so new rear it is (Y) Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Update: Rear now bald and needs replacing... Is this sorta wear rate consistent with what other people have found? Just over 2 months? ← Hell no, mine had still got a bit of life left in them, and i have had them since novemeber, ridden them quite alot. My friend bought some tyres months after me, and he rides a bit less than me, and his are balder than mine! So you have to take pressure / body weight into consideration. But they should have lasted longer than that! (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 True, it is a lot of usage. The thing is is that I want grip, but I want a longer lasting tyre :) I think I'm just gonna go for the Creepy Crawler again, basically. I've heard good stuff about the Monty tyres, but to be fair, they cost more than the Creepy Crawler (even though with the amount of postage on them they come out as not too far off the same price as the Monty's) and I'm pretty sure the Creepy's grippier...

Sikamon Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 best way to do it would be to use old one for getting to and fro school and using a new crawler on weekends, but who the fuk is gonna bother changing tyres that much lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apollo13 Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Thats a great price! i might invest in some, why are they so cheap though, is there anything wrong with them? Nick :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wally Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 I am in need of a pair of creepy crawlers for the weekend for the YMSA comp. Where can i get a pair from? Tartybikes are expecting them but wont have any for this weekend, and they dont seem to be on the supercycles website anymore. (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartridge Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 There is, unfortunately, a pretty bad shortage of Creepy Crawlers at the moment (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wally Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Bugger. Well i might have to go for the Monty tyre again then. What are they like on rocks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartridge Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Apparently pretty good. However, on dry rock, a bald Creepy Crawler will still be as good, if not better, than anything else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
