Date Reviewed: November 28, 2006 | | Favoriate Trail: | Any trail I'm riding... | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Price Paid: |
$54.00 | | Purchased At: | LBS | | Strengths: | 1) Insanely light
2) Rolls fast
3) Hooks up well on loose corners / grippy rubber | | Weaknesses: | 1) one tire was perfect, the other kept blowing off the rim
2) really expensive for a 50% performance (one tire with bad bead) | | Similar Products Used: | regular (non-S-Works) Specialized Fast Tracks UST 2Bliss (on my SS) | | Bike Setup: | '06 Stumpjumper Pro frame / Crossmax XLs / 'Zoke Marathon XC 120mm / Deus XC crankset / SRAM Rocket triggers with XT F&R derailleurs / Avid SD-7 brakes with Koolstop ceramic pads / King headset | | Bottom Line: | 1) The (UST) S-Works Roll-X 2Bliss tire on my REAR wheel has been flawless with the Crossmax wheels for 3 months. No flats, no leaks, I barely add any air at all. Superb.
2) The other (FRONT) tire has been another story. This tire had exactly one ride without a problem. The second ride, the tire blew off as I bunnyhopped next to the car at the trailhead (I threw in a tube and rode on it no problem). Back in the garage, I thoroughly cleaned it, mounted it up easily, used 2 oz Stan's (as before), pumped it up, and proceeded to blow Stan's all over the garage. (And snocker my left eardrum for about 3 or 4 minutes in the process). Later, hearing restored (and safety glasses on), I mounted it up again, more Stan's, held 38 PSI nicely, bounced it, good seal. Lying against the wall, it went BOOM 10 minutes later. Repeated above: BOOM again after 5 minutes. Tried said tire on Bontrager Mustang UST rim: you guessed it--BOOM, splat. (BTW: Non-S-Works Fast Track UST 2Bliss tires work well on both Mavic and Bonty rims: no leak, no BOOM).
3) Positive note: Specialized replaces free if any problem, for the life of tire. Negative caveat: they're OUT now (making the new '07's), so I can't get a replacement (so I'm running a tubed Nevegal 2.1 up front).
THM: One great tire, one flawed tire. Rating: 5&5 for good tire, 1&1 for the other, 5 for return policy... | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
