Walleee Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 (edited) So eh chris, where'd you get them and how come they aren't on a bike?I guess the sidewalls are to help reduce weight, and depending on the density of the rubber could also make for an extra grippy trye on uneven surface's in the the knob's can stretch to a certain degree.Chris, are they still 2.7 or have they gone down to 2.6?

Jaffacakes Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Some cleanbikes riders had them at a comp a month or so back.They look pretty pimp. I dont really dig drilled tread though.Then again, It probebly saves a good 20 grams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mods Posted July 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 well on the site i got the pictures from it sais there 2.6 on the rear. I don't really think the holes are worth compromising the wear life of the tire for the weight reduction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 They're not mine... took the photos from a german guy, who rides them. They're 2.6 rear and 2.0 front.The drillings safed quite a lot . The old 2.7 was 1220g! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Elding Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Joe hodges (unstablebutable) has a rear one on his unicycle, realistically its barely wider than a creepy crawler but its hella grippy, and fairly light also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 well on the site i got the pictures from it sais there 2.6 on the rear. I don't really think the holes are worth compromising the wear life of the tire for the weight reductionThe drilling are only on the far sides of the tread, which never gets much wear compared to the centre tread of the tyre so i doupt it would make much difference it wouldn't put me off anyway. and i think that the drilled bits would compress more to so it might help with grip andy idea on prices?

mods Posted July 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 yea you have a point that part of the tire never gets worn, I would give them a try. No idea on price, but i assume they will be about 40 for the pair?.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 hmm, 200g is a fair weight saving over the back end alright.Good 100g lighter than a Maxis CC on the front too.These are obviously comp orientated tyres, i'd like to find out of mud manages to stick in the hole's and make the tyres even heavier than normal ones though.....

Mark W Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Good 100g lighter than a Maxis CC on the front too. You should have a Try-All up front anyway (561g, so they're lighter than the Monty fronts anyway) May have to give that rear a try out though, unless I forget about how much I hate Creepy Crawlers just before I buy a new rear - the way it happens every time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Joe hodges was using the one of the first in the UK, they are now available from Unicycle.com I believe, even though it may not be on their site yet. I had a look at it myself, and I personally thought it was no larger than a rear Creepy Crawler. To be honest, I think the older Monty '2.5s' like the white wall and yellow wall are fatter than this new Eagleclaw.It's got a grippier compound than the older Monty tyres, so that's surely a good thing! It's high in Joe's standards, and that's something as he's incredibly fussy about tyres and their properties . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akira_Shock! Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Yeah, i got this tyre. It seems pretty decent for trials, I like it a lot more than a Try-all or creepy crawler. Not a puncture on this yet, and some of you know how sloppy I can be sometimes Overall, i'd rate this tyre highly, it is grippy, and not too fat, seriously, its not really noticably fatter than a rear CC. Go for it you guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
