Getting my first UST Wheel Set and planning a 2.25 Nobby Nic upfront......
Any one used them (UST Version)
Cheers
need sealant. then they're EXCELLENT and I'm a UST defiant 🙂
Really good, I use with sealant too, some reckon that the side walls are fragile and can tear easily but i've never had a problem riding in the peak
Sounds promising!
Looking at putting a Maxxis Larsen TT UST on the rear.....
Good Mix?
99% Scotland riding and just for summer (Swamp-things for winter!)
kbrembo - i live in ne scotland - ride the rock and roots almost every day. the sidewalls are affected by dry sharp rock, but with sealant, they'll be fine , ridden with a bit of finnesse 🙂
I have a NN on the front of a hardtail (paired with a Racing Ralph).
I like the NN a lot. UST version with sealant.
But personaly I would use a Maxxis/Maxxis combo myself or a Schwalbe/Schwalbe combo.
Why not consider a High Roller XC UST /Larsen TT combo ?

work well for me.
Here is a pic of the High Roller/Larsen TT combo.
If you go to the Yeti wbsite you will see this combo on a lot of their bikes.

Voice of dissent here...
I've shredded 3 NN UST (2.25") sidewalls on 5 rides at Dalby, which is not the rockiest place going. Meanwhile, my Albert USTs (also 2.25) have survived many trips there.
If ridden with finesse and skill you'll be fine, but as I have neither of these things I won't touch them again.
Neither do I. I didn't like them much to be honest. Didn't find them very grippy in the wet and muddy stuff. Actually coined the phrase:
"Nobby Nic - half the speed, twice the fun"
Currently running a Revolt Super X on the front and a Larsen on the rear and loving it in the current dry ish conditions
im with farticus and rockitman - avoid at all cost. sidewalls made of paper thin rubber.
