Date Reviewed: May 26, 2007 | | Favoriate Trail: | Porcupine Rim | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Price Paid: |
$20.00 | | Purchased At: | ebay | | Strengths: | Good grip, lightweight, real knobs | | Weaknesses: | skinny, expensive if purchased at LBS | | Similar Products Used: | too many to list | | Bike Setup: | Access hardtail with leftovers, spares and old components (weighs 22.5 lbs) | | Bottom Line: | This tire rolls well and offers good trail grip in most conditions. Although it is a narrow 2.1, it grips as well as some larger volume tires.
I use this tire on the front rim of my hardtail and it is perfect for almost all conditions.
This also rolls well on pavement. The tire wears well without wearing out too quickly. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: November 28, 2005 | | Favoriate Trail: | anything xc tech | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Strengths: | great for winter digs like a backhoe
super light for 2.1 sheds mud easily
low rolling resistance
| | Weaknesses: | none really | | Similar Products Used: | many many others | | Bike Setup: | 05 Kona Kula Deluxe, FSA Orbit xtreme pro, Ritchey mtb pro stem, crankbrother ti eggbeater pedals | | Bottom Line: | super fast tire for xc in 2.1 inch version. sheds mud very easily and really digs in for out of saddle riding on aggressive hills. For summer go for a Racing Ralph because of its superior racing abilities(if you race)and everything else the jimmy will cover it. Keep in mind with the 2.25 version you can run a low/lower pressure in xc and all mountain situations. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: January 2, 2005 | | Duration Product Used: | 2 Years | | Price Paid: |
$25.00 | | Strengths: | Grippy tire, behaves predictable going into wet corners. Good uphill traction and good in semi-muddy conditions. | | Weaknesses: | Too grippy on dry pack, slows you down a lot. The small knobs give you grip but also slow you down a lot when the track hardens. In sandy corners it starts to drift. | | Similar Products Used: | Schwalbe Racing Ralph 2.4 (superb), Fast Fred 2.3 (fast & dangerous), Mud Shark 1.8 (mud specific), Conti Vapor 2.1 (ust,really good allrounder), Conti Vertical Pro 2.35 (ust, similar as Jimmy but better rolling capabilites) | | Bike Setup: | Different bikes: Rohloff hardtail for the mud, Fusion Raid for the nice weather and the groovy downhilss | | Bottom Line: | There are better products out there now, tires have evolved over the time, especially dual-compound seems to kick in now (new Schwalbe and Michelin) | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: September 13, 2004 | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Strengths: | Not to heavy, low rolling resistanse, good grip in dry conditions. | | Weaknesses: | The grip on wet roots and rocks is not god. The stability could be better. | | Similar Products Used: | Bontrager AC Jones, Panaracer Cinder | | Bike Setup: | Trek Fuel 80 | | Bottom Line: | Then I first tested this tires I noticed a much better grip, but more unstable compared to my Bontrager tires. Because of the poor performens on wet roots and rocks I have now changed to Panaracer Cinder. However this tires is a good compromise betwen grip, rolling resistanse and weight if you want to race. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
