butcha87 Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Hey,looking for a back tyre,I was thinking along the lines of Michelin Comp 24,Maxxis Minion or High Roller?Which one would be best for me,considering,if I had the money I'd be riding a Leeson 24"! :blink: Also what size, I've got a Pashley 26mhz!

Mr Motivator Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 (edited) Minions and High rollers are lighter than Comp24 :blink: Iv used a minion and am using a highroller at the mo. The highroller seems to be lasting longer than the minion though. Dual ply Super tack 2.5 highroller for you :'( Oh yeah and good maxxis tyres are actually impossible to pinch. edit: get a 2.5. When I used a 2.35 I thought it was fine but the 2.5 is just that bit nicer :o Edited June 15, 2005 by Sam@SouthTrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Yeah, I'd say so too. I'm using a 2.5 High Roller (SuperTacky) and it's spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robonatomz Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 kenda blue groove, stick-e, 2.5 best rear tyre ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalf the Yellow Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 i recommend minions or highrollers' i've used them both and never had pinch. supper grippy too. i have a Giant Trials Team 04, clearence isn't massive, im using 2.35 highrollers on D521 rim, and i need a new tyre too.... so would it be ok to fit 2.5 minions onto my D521?/ tight clearence(but it'll JUST have enough room) for the 2.5 i do like more grip :blink: and the look of those meaty minions. :'( steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
