Might manage a trip to Affan later in the month. Don't want to take race bike so it's the Soul. Probably only one day of riding but think it would probably benefit from something higher volume than 2.0 XR muds....
Anyone used the cheaper tyres? I was thinking 2.4 Nobby Nics or a Continental equivalent. These are not going to get a lot of use so would prefer to stay cheaper (for once)
The non black chilli rubber queens are the worst tyre I have ever used
I find the wire conti mountain kings to be good. I can't tell the difference between the expensive ones on my full suss and the cheap ones on my ss.
Maybe on some surfaces there is a difference but not on the mix mud and gravel I ride round here.
Check out Ribble or planet x to see what is cheap. The wire contis are less than £15 on Ribble.
If you're after cheap but good tyres I'd be looking at the on-one chunky monkey / smorgasbord combination personally. That way you get decent maxxis rubber on a slightly heavier carcass. Should be just the job for afan.
