Date Reviewed: December 30, 2004 | | Duration Product Used: | More than 3 years | | Price Paid: |
$20.00 | | Purchased At: | wholesaler | | Strengths: | FAST tire! Great volume. | | Weaknesses: | Sidewalls are delicate. | | Similar Products Used: | Notos, Mythos, Vapor, Motoraptor | | Bike Setup: | SS disc, rigid/CX-1 | | Bottom Line: | I love this tire. Its a great fast rolling tire in nearly all conditions. Except when it starts to get wet/slippery. Great volume, a a decent wieght. The sidewalls are pretty thin though, so watch it if you ride amongst sharp rocks. DON'T run them with Stans. In fact don't run stans with WTB tires at all. Just not a good idea. They're not made for Stans. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$20.00 | | Purchased At: | Charleston Bicycle Center | | Strengths: | Very fast, good climber. Best in hard pack conditions. | | Weaknesses: | spins out in the slimy Appalachian mud, the smokes where slow as a tractor but never spun. Would like a rear specific 45c for the back in the rainy season. | | Similar Products Used: | Panracer smokes, slickes. | | Bike Setup: | 1993 Bianchi Project (Steel)- 700c Sun Rino lite rims, old Deore friction thumb shifters, some used flex stem and other out of date almost top shelf parts. Steel lasts forever! | | Bottom Line: | Great tires for 700c bikes with limited chain stay clearance. They held the line in the single track better than I can but sink in the deep mud (unlike the smokes). They shine on long fireroad climbs, bring a sandwich cause you will need a snack while waiting for the 26ers to lumber up the hill. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
