Noisy Magic Mary

[Winger]

Used MM/BB combo for some time buy a new pair fit them...jeez the noise from the MM was ridiculous on anything but mud, re-fitted the old MM and silence....bought another new MM to make sure I wasn’t dreaming and that is all good....anyone else out there had the same problem.

Is there a tiny "F" printed just after the 65-622 embossed in the tyre wall ?

The F version (Female) is a lot louder and constantly more intrusive when you ride than the non "F" version.

Or maybe it wasn't quite on straight ?

 

[Winger]

My experience .....it’s a large F....but that ain’t nothing todo with dodgy mountain bike tyres

changed my assegai recently to a MM and didnt notice any change in noise. if anything its quieter cos the assegai was a maxxgrip and on hardpack it was noisy

Noisy tyres let the hikers know I'm coming and allows them to get to the side of the trail safely and in good order.

I have a similar experience.... MM on the rear on tarmac climbs is way noisier than the Hans Dampf. I've kinda got used to it now - it gets noticed with other people I ride with too on those climbs. I never notice it on any other surface.

I like to think of it as the sound of grip and traction (or the sound of rolling resistance and energy inefficiency )

I'm not really sure why tyre sound would be an issue. What are you listening for otherwise. The wind in the trees or the chirping of birds ?

Side of the trail? In good order?

I share your mirth, who expects trail sides to be in good order?.

I can see the bumper sticker now. Noisy Tyres Saves Lives.

Just cut the knobs off and it's 200% more quiet

Remove your hearing aids.!

Try an Ultrasoft, you'll love that - I dont think the MM is noisy and Ive had them on two bikes for 2+ years (current gen and previous, 2.4 and 2.6). Love them, although l might prefer the Assegai DD....

I found the big betty (orange) very noisy and very draggy on an analogue bike. I did try it on the Levo but not sure about it.
