32 front and rear? Im 210 ish, looks like I'm gonna need more pressure. For those that have run SG and SDH, does the SDH have a lot more casing damping than the SG?
sorry should have specified. 27psi front on a specialized cannibal grid gravity (only pinged that one once), and 32psi on a super gravity ultrashort tacky chan. I’ve tried continental DH, specialized grid gravity, and now schwalbe super gravity all as rear tire casings. All come in similar weight and I can’t tell much difference between them. All run at about the same pressure (30-32psi depending on the terrain), and all ping in the right circumstances
I haven’t run SDH, but that sounds like the general consensus.
Awesome thanks! How do you like the cannibal? It’s one of the few I haven’t tried yet. Have you only run it as a front?
I wouldn’t be able to stomach the weight of the SDH. super gravity is already over stated weight at around 1350g for a 29x2.4, I’d assume the SDH is probably
yep only as a front so far, I like it a lot. I think more so than the conti kryp F DH SS. Will run it as a rear as well once it gets a bit sloppier in the winter I think. Have a buddy who runs them front and rear and loves them, seem to not have the knob tearing issues that the butcher/eliminator have
Which casing are you using now and which one do you want to get with Magic Mary and Tacky Chan?
This is the combo I’m currently running. Both supertrail casing. By comparison, the MM/TC combo is faster rolling and has as much or more cornering grip. I actually prefer the NN in the rear to the TC. Rolls faster and the slight trade-off in cornering and braking grip doesn’t affect my speed or comfort level for most situations. But yeah, the Schwalbe combo is a step up from Maxxis for sure.
I am looking for the enduro casing with the Magic Marry and the downhill with the Tacky Chan. I currently use Exo+ casing on my Assegai and DD casing on my DHR. I do not mind the ultra soft compound in the rear because I can get the tires for 70CAD each.
Thank you for your reply, it was exactly what I was looking for. I do not mind the rolling resistance because I am riding an ebike, I am primarily interested in downhill performance.
What exactly do you mean by beefier? Is downhill casing insufficient?
This is highly dependent on conditions. TC is a way better tire in the dry/hard. MM is better wet/intermediate.
Have you ridden a TC?? If it gives up anything to a DHR, maybe slight pedaling traction. By all other attributes, it’s equal or superior.
In that case, Magic Mary SuperGravity and Tacky Chan SuperDH with UltraSoft compound will be a good upgrade over the tires you’re currently using.
We must be riding in different conditions. In dry loose over hard, braking performance seems pretty equal versus both DHR and Conti KRR.
