As title really. Raced today in sticky plasticene mud with a 2.25 Advantage up front, it carried a lot of mud and therefore weight.
Anyone rate the Rendez and in what terrain?

Still using Ardent 2.25 front and rear. Just running LUST at 20 psi, grips fine No issues. If you need a crutch get a HR?

They don't have any bite to their edge.. They'll slide out as soon as they're leant over the tiniest amount. That was running them tubeless too. They roll OK though, but that's about all they've got going for them. I think the only tyre I've come across that's almost as bad as a Richey z-max!

Yep.. That's about the only thing they grip on.. Not dry or wet.
