JT! Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 (edited) For a pair of maxxis creey crawlers it's will cost £31 inc postage.But i thought i wouldn't mind trying the try-all tyres, so i went round looking to see how much they'd cost (inc postage).Bikedock - £59.97Tarty Bikes - £57.00Ebay - £58.00www.airevalleycycles.co.uk - £52 (Just found that one, but still £20 more!)That is insane, nearly twice as much as the creepy crawlers! What the hells going on there. They surly must cost the same to make.Is there a place that sells them at a reasonable price? Edited March 27, 2006 by JT!

Barbara Logan-Price Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 its koxx the charge double price for everything of theirs like xtps and levelbosses, they need to get a grip.no try-all tyres are just awesome the grip to everything well worth the money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Arnold Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 no try-all tyres are just awesome the grip to everything well worth the money true-they grip well and the side treads are designed so that if u dont quite make a sidehop, they still grip onto the edge of the wall. tis genious but i must say they are at a silly price, unless you only ride comps/natural.(says the idiot who just bought a new set ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted March 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 no try-all tyres are just awesome the grip to everything well worth the money Thanks exactly what i would say about Creepy Crawlers. I can't belive they are worth that much more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoo Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 (edited) I thought they are £50 a pair from tarty? ...i dont care about the price..i have my front one..just got to wait for tarty get them in stock..my front is so much better than my maxxis.zooIt's 2006 too..lol Edited March 27, 2006 by zoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted March 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 (edited) I thought they are £50 a pair from tarty? Then include the postage...People will say they're better, but they are 60% better, becuase that's how much more they cost. I mean, creepy crawlers don't lat that long, and the try-alls are suposed to wear down even quicker. More than £50 on some tyres that are going to wear down even quicker than the creepy crawlers, dosn't really make me want to buy them very much. Edited March 27, 2006 by JT!

Mark W Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I f**kin' <3 my Try-All up front. Light, incredibly grippy, and it lasted 9 months, which is pretty cool. I was tempted to run one on the back, then I saw the price They're the same compound as the Creepy Crawler, and I can rag through a Crawler rear in abooooout 4-6weeks, so spending £30+ on a new rear tyre every month isn't quite as nice as spending £16.99 (CRC?). Still though, the utterly shite feel of Creepy Crawlers does make me tempted to get a Try-All still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 well if the mod tyres are any thing like the mtb tyres id get the maxxis every time why not get one maxxis and one try all tyre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 They aren't. When Maxxis designed the sidewalls for the Creepy Crawler, it looks like they got the work experience guy to design them instead of using the mass of knowledge Maxxis ahd themselves about how to make great tyres...

Sponge Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Try-All rear tyre's got about as much grip as the Creepy Crawler, and it seems to have amazing pinch protection, testing it out on a unicycle.. It's got slightly harder sidewalls than CC, so I guess that means slightly better pinch protection, but for the price of £60 or so for the pair... I seriously doubt it's worth going for a set instead of a CC set...Anyway... £12 for a set of Creepy Crawlers for me, and around £20 for a pair of Try-All tyres... It's good to have a friend who can get stuff cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 IT's also good to be friends with friends who can get friends to get some stuff cheap Meh, for the time being Creepy rear - Tryall front rules I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 get a thicker rear tube, learn to be smoother i guess that mean the maxxis lighter ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 I don't think so.Equally, it's just the way the sidewalls react to stuff. Like if you land on something like an angled rock, they don't react in a 'normal' way or anything and spring off randomly, plus they just feel like shit, basically...EDIT: Should probably point out I've only pinched a Creepy Crawler once, out of over a years usage? EDIT #2: Maxxis: 1042g, Try-All: 1113g... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 ok well after reading the thread and compareing the good-bad points im pretty sure if i rode mod i would be buying the try alli totally understand what you mean mark, ilove the way maxxis mtb tyres wrap around any thing they come into contact with so just buy the try all and love the extra weight and extra performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Yeah, that's the thing... the stock tyres do wrap round nicely, but the mod ones don't... they're just weird No real feeling of grip or stability on angled stuff. I've had a few tumbles just from them springing back super hard in a totally unexpected way. Muchos homo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 just like an el gato then, sounds like your yet to find the best pressure, and for the homos who are complaining about the price, if bought a pair of tyres for my bike they would set me back 60quid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Well, you set it hard enough to not do the weird rebound and it feels shit for anything else then, apart from landing at angles on stuff I found a sweet-spot for about two seconds, THEN I got the only pinch I had 'sides Dave, with your Maxxis trickery you could get those tyres for a fiver or something, surely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Yeah, that's the thing... the stock tyres do wrap round nicely, but the mod ones don't... they're just weird No real feeling of grip or stability on angled stuff.

JT! Posted March 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 and around £20 for a pair of Try-All tyres... It's good to have a friend who can get stuff cheap What that says to me is shops get them for around £20 a pair. And therefor making a shag load of profit. Anyway, buy a pair for me and send me them and i'll send you £30.I found a sweet-spot for about two seconds, THEN I got the only pinch I had < amused?I'm not rally good enough to feel any slight difference between tyres, so it dosn't really matter to me. Plus, if i'll save £20 i'll get used to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Angled stuff, deary They wrap stuff that they're going onto straight, yeah, but that's 'cos almost every tyre does at the right psi. I mean going onto rocks at a slant and stuff like that... Mostly talking natural, but for a street example EDIT: Kudos to JT for ruining the flow between me an dJake. And yeah, less, less, less than amused. That reminds me, two pinchflats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
