See, this guy gets it. I could win a hardline too. Just point straight downhill and don't brake. Everyone knows that a straight line is the shortest distance. I already almost have the KOM on the local blue flow trail. Big jumps just mean your tires are on the ground less so there's less chance to slide out or hit a rock to go OTB. /s

Just in case you weren't aware: You come across like a right old tit. EDIT: On another note: The (not very exciting) PB raw video states Ronan broke his frame. Sure hope he has a spare available.

I wasn't able to try them on before I got them, but am typically an 11. I think I ended up going with euro 44.5 or 45 (I forget). They were a touch roomy, so ended up just getting some different insoles with more volume and that seemed to do the trick.

2/5/2026 10:28am What sizing compromise did you go with on the Specialized? My GF got some for her and it just confirmed that I would struggle even more than her with my sizing. Whenever I look at EU sizing I will see brands say either 46 or 47 for the SAME shoe size in US sizes (~12 for me). So I'm not...

A few I've had over the years. I mostly just get something when they're on sale (and there are crazy good deals if you're patient/lucky). - 5.10 Freerider - grip was good. They were just a touch small, so got ride of them after a seaon - Etnies Camber Crank - fairly stiff and grip was pretty good on the pedals, but they had no grip if you had to do any hiking. I do lots of photography and run around off trail to get interesting shots, and these were scary to hike in. Paid $60cdn at Marshalls for them...

hmmmmmmm.... I never thought about that! same boat of certain DH models discontinuing. I know you can't directly replace the rest of the shoe construction with insoles but dang... definitely can help in the stiffness department.

I think I posted earlier in this thread that I find I need really stiff flat pedal shoes due to low arches. I actually recently found a work-around to that. I put a set of Remind Destin Impact insoles (meant for skateboard shoes) in a pair of Freerider Pros, which normally cause my feet to hurt on rough tracks, and had zero foot pain. I'm pretty stoked on the insoles - it opens up a lot more shoe options for me (especially with the Impact Pro being discontinued). With the Remind insoles, I think I slightly prefer the Freerider Pros...

I hear you on the price, but the conti rears last a lot longer for me than the tacky chans on the rear. So far i've gone thru almost 3 tacky's and the other bike is still on the same conti. Both see similar mileage and both are the softest dh casing tires respectively. So maybe they're actually cheaper if you also get more durability out of them?

If I get a radial it would just be on the front, for now at least. Like everyone else has mentioned, they seem better suited to a front than a back to me. I'm sticking with my tried and true Kryptotal Re DH Soft for the back. Great grip, great support, and lasts absolutely forever

I don't think it's dumb at all. I run a Cushcore in the back, but not in the front. I run less air pressure in my front tire, too. Weirder still, I run fewer spokes in my front wheel and love it. Why not run a more flexible tire carcass? I absolutely want different performance characteristics out of my front and rear tires, wheels, suspension, brakes, and probably want different levels and kinds of flex in my frame vs. fork. Try it and let us know!

Radial up front makes sense. Some criticisms of radial makes me think they’re better up front than out back

2/4/2026 4:55pm some one has already mentioned it in the thread. my take is (hot takes only) 'do whatever you want'. some people have already gone something like super gravity radial in front and then super downhill in the rear for better protection, more or less. but you could make the internet even MADDER by getting a radial front and conti rear...

2/4/2026 12:26pm Ya I don't even think my riding quite demands a DH tire, even if my body weight kinda does. I imagine these super gravity whatevers for radials will be fine (for me). But to your point, as a rear tire, I was considering tacky chan in super DH. If I actually slash it, I may just go Conti rear. But...

2/4/2026 8:21am if they release the radial tacky right after I bought these alberts... I'm going to cry soft man-tears i was in between them for weeks. trying to read reviews. but i wanted to try radial, ideally without killing me on the climb.

It takes some courage, but I really like running a MM Radial up front with a non-radial rear, like a DHR2 or Kryptotal Re. Insane grip up front, take any line you want, while still holding up through berms and such. Front and rear tires have different needs so I like this setup at the moment.

Pardon the windbagger but here goes: in short - get the radials for grip, durability and wild fun. I've mostly ridden the radials over the past 13-14 months and I think they are easily next level, and well above the others for grip, durability, and ultimately price because they last forever. They are the be-all end all for me and are now on all 3 of my bikes. No spring chicken here, 36 yrs on and I ride western NC year round, with a summer month-long Colorado trip in 2025 to compare. The jabber below is mostly DH, but I...
