Not even if they were cheap, which they aren't. Black chili Mountain Kings are ordinary at best tbh, cheapo ones are like something from the late 80s.

No.

I will try and elaborate - NO!

In other words cheap OEM stuff. The chilli versions are fine ime - even if they have lots of detractors.

Basically - they're like cheap rock hard "ever last" car tyres.

I've used conti's of various sorts for years - never had the black chilli variant in any type. Got ordinary Mountain Kings on my Singlespeed, and I'd buy 'em again.

I like mine. They're not the best, but they are predictable.
