Yeah your right. I’ve got the BB ultra soft, MM super trail, DHR2 maxxterra and so far in the slop schwalbe have worked better at clearing the mud out but like you’ve said before Maxxis work better at speed than the granny pace I like to set (but maybe I take pleasure in prolonging a scary dh...

I can now remove a rear wheel easy, little did I know the mech could be pulled back further 🤣 I might actually do a maxis standard compound vs schwalbe ultra compound braking traction comparison video just to see if there is any slight feckin difference whatsoever……what do you guys reckon...

I think this time of year at least for me I couldn’t give a toss about faster rolling resistance but then I also believe it’s better to have your offs going slightly slower than when trying to hit the sound barrier! I had a cracking off I put in my good, bad, ugly video where I was going at an...

Agreed, was dogshit for me when I hit the most difficult enduro line I’ve faced and had zero help from the tyre…..I even showed my coach some examples of how poor it was and he just laughed.

Was thinking of getting the Forestal Siryon, maybe the 64 HA or those pancreas tyres (or whatever there called) would work ? Mate, I’ve got more tyres than a rubber factory!!! I can safely say had I been using. My Big Betty super dh ultra grip it would have been over that shit root like it...

Does anyone rate Maxxis in wet at all? I was going up a steep wet section in dry I blast up, there’s some roots but the second the minion touches the bike switches to anti grip mode and slips off! In dry I’ve been loving the minnions recently, I’ve some Mary’s but was hoping to get a bit more...

I could bring some to the UK but we’re talking £85 a pop and there just the basic 60x1 version…..

had a couple rides out at Forest Dean, I did most the trails other than GBU but the others were PLENTY spicy, riding the rise with these tyres was a dream, finally everything just performed as it should, felt great

Yeah that’s about right, they flux in weight I’m finding, sometimes quite a lot 50-300g, annoyingly I bought some skin walls too, chap says they might be 1200g but both came in at 1400g (mm 2.4 super grav)

I’ll try inspect a little closer, I’d really love to use this tyre but it’s not right is it....unless Schwalbe have a secret recipe and let their prototype next gen tyre out by error! (I wish)...the sidewalls felt the same, way better than the dhf etc

Had a right fight sticking two of the most difficult tyres going being BigBetty 29x2.4 Super Dh (6 layers) and Magic Mary 29x2.6 Super Gravity (4 layers), don’t know why but on the Rise it was way harder, anyhow I found a new technique that works wonders thankfully! It does concern me having to...

Anyone tried Vee Tyre Co Flow Snap Enduro Core tyre review - MBR I noticed my coach swears by these and doesn’t like Magic Mary’s.

I’d seen that but didnt quite have enough models, I quite like the classic skin look so just hunting down a 1200g max one, marys are 1390g

Is there a database of tyre weights? My dhf weighs 1000g 1450g for my MM 29 x 2.6, going to be too heavy for the rise....

I tried dissector front and rear rekon, it was on a demo rise and I was very impressed, in fact my best days riding but I wasn’t impressed with the rekon, it slipped on roots in quite dry conditions, hard stuff was descent enough…… on another ride I had MM front and Nobby nics which are like a...

81km is mega!! To do this in EMTB mode is pretty cool also

Hang on, did these special Magic ‘notmarybutZimmer’ tyres have kinetic energy generation going on?? Dear lord you don’t use that satanic eco do you, blasphemy!

I’m tempted to try one of my ultra soft BB upfront since it’s 2.6 and stock the 2.4 mary on the back

Avoid at all costs ?…..hey if your wanting to plough through loose wet mud and shite then this tyre will kick ass, it’s the magic mary big bro pretty much but rolling is terrible, I know someone who would sell me a pair of these for £40 and I haven’t….tempted to do just for an experiment though...
