blaze_ Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Hey I'm going to get a new tire couse my maxxis became 26.5" and started to get off the rim. I wanted to ask if anyone has used a Big Betty tire before and how is it comparing with the Maxxis 2ply ones? How's the grip and stuff and is it better or worse for when you blow up tubes if bashed too strong in an edge?Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 I have been using one since spring last year maybe?They're easily as grippy as the maxxis, and lighter. Also, they are taller = bouncier.They do pinch a little more easily than the maxxis 2 ply tyres, but not much. I've pinched mine once or twice i think.Good tyres. Really good tyres.

blaze_ Posted January 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 I wanted to know about the pinching because it is almost half a kilo lighter and it didn't seem right to me, but if someone who has ridden one says so than it is so Thanks for the info Janson I will certainly get one.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
