Anyone use an Eddy current front on the rear?

[CRFan1]

So it Appears that the Eddy Current 27.5 x 2.8 is on back order until who knows when and I have two 2.8' fronts.......Has anyone run the front on the rear and if so what was your opinion?

Eddie Current tyres

Has any one fitted the Eddy Current tyres on to the Bontrager wheel that you get with the Rail 9.8.I have put one on mine and it just keeps blowing completely off the rim when i get to about 20psi the tyre is a 29x 2.6and it is tight to fit so i thought it would be difficult get back off

I ran a 2.8 rear on the front for weeks until I realised ( with a 2.6 rear on the back). I changed it to a Front and haven’t really noticed a difference. Tread pattern looks 99% the same. I’ve been riding over the past few weeks in the wet leaves and mud.

I think starting a new thread is a good thing. If you hadn’t I certainly would have trawled through old threads. Who has the time......I guess some do.

Thanks! I have a rear on back order but if it doesn't come in by the time I get my carbon wheels the front is going on the rear, lol

I read in some of the old posts that Orangie doesn't like the Eddy Current at all, lol.

Oh......ok. So many people do write assuming people know what’s going on inside their heads.

Internet forum etiquette - forever - has dictated that you "trawl through old threads" before starting a new one; and only doing that if the answer to the question has not already been provided.

There's no upside to the same questions being asked and time and time again.

Or that you've seen their previous comments...

Oh. They are the worst tire I’ve used to date. Would be ok on a motorcycle.
