adamtrials Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Why don't you just put them on and try them, it dosent take long to change tyres...And use the spell checker as well, no wonder you haven't been validated for ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobnobs Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 If they are the monty tyres with the yellow ring, then go for them. I got one a week ago, and i must say its pretty good.Grip rivals Creepy, maybe slightly less.More bouncey.Possibly lighter, not sure as i only had an extremely worn creepy to compare to.Doesn't fold as easily.

Danny Foster Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 I think you will find that the 'old monty' (yellow/white stripe) and the 'old echo' (white stripe) are exactly the same tyre. But of course one say's 'Monty and the other say's 'Echo' on the sidewalls. So obviously you should decide whether you would rather have an Echo or Monty sign on your bike .Danny.

Hobnobs Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Well, considering the yellow and white monty's are differenent softness's, then you are wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobnobs Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 If they have white stripes, then they are the older versions. All the newer ones are plain black. The white striped have a harder compound so will last longer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
