from hartland,Vt Date Reviewed: March 23, 2012 Strengths: Traction, Traction, Traction. Rolls very well for a open knobby design. Rolls and grabs much better than the rampage's I replaced them with. Great in spring conditions and once the trails dried out. Running front and rear and cornering is incredible. Well made except for one serious weakness... Weaknesses: This was the MOST difficult tire to get onto a rim that I've ever experienced and I've installed 100's ( worked/ran bike shop for 12 years). Words can't describe it. Maybe it was the rim, STANS FLOW set up tubeless, and I hope thats the case but it could be a deal breaker for some lightweights. I'm 6'3", 220 and it took all I had, after 2 pedros levers snapped and 1 broken quick stik I was able to get them on. Once on they sealed up tubeless in seconds with zero leakage which was nice. I flatted on the trail and had to pull the tire off which I was dreading but surprisingly they popped on and off easily. Back home when I pulled the tire to fix a small tear they shrunk back to original diameter and were almost impossible to put on again. Regardless, once on they work so well I will be replacing with the same. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: the one nobody else is on Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $40.00 Similar Products Used: rampages,weirwolf, old school smoke and dart combo Bike Setup: Surly Karate Monkey 1 x 9, Stans Flow rims, Hope proII hubs, Race Face, Syncros, Chris King, Avid.
