Greetings Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 My rear CC is almost threadless so I'll be changing it failry soon. Do you reccomend any rear tyres which deliver a lot of bounce? I heard that the Monty ones with a yellow strip were awesome but I can't find them anywhere. And what about the new 2.7" tyres, is there a big difference between them and the standard width?

squince Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 The old monty tyres with the yellow stripes are by far the bouciest chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deonn h Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 (edited) Why change from creepy crawlies, they rock Creepy crawlers arn`t bouncey.Inur-Ask in the forsale wanted section see if anyone has and old monty tyres or echo tyres lying around what they don`t use what you could buy off them.Thats what i will be doing. But why not try the new monty tyre out they looked really bouncey in walkers new vid.I`m sure they will be hard to get punctures aswellas of the width.

Gaz M Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 white monty stripe tyres are bouncyest by far and the least grippy by far, maxxis arent bouncy at all but loads more grip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Yeah i think the monty tyres are pretty boingy. I swear i saw an echo mod tyre (probably the same thing though) and that was pretty damn bouncy tooTry-alls aren't very bouncy, i can guarantee lol, also sticky fingers..well....

nafan Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 something with a thin sidewall.Be careful if you go for thin sidewalls though, especially if you ride natural...Although I ride mostly street and a stock, I sliced mine open which can be annoying...Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Arnold Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 what determines a tyres 'bounciness' or 'springyness' ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squince Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 what determines a tyres 'bounciness' or 'springyness' ? Severaly things, The compounds, The thinkness of the sidewalls.Monty have like a paper thick sidewall, especially on the frame.And if you look at a koxx rear tyre the sidewall is quite thick Hope i helpedcheers andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zordon Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 http://www.dressler.cz/E_shop/details.php?...t=3&start=0&nr= The photo shows they have white strips but the product's description says they have gold/yellow strips. And they weigh only 920g . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 I feel that alot of people are buying the new monty tyres becuase they're 2.7", just for the sake of having an even fatter tyre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably true. Will a 2.7" tyre fit a 221Ti 05? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobnobs Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 They come as standard on the 06 versions of all full bikes, so they should fit all monty frames from the last couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
