1/25/2025 6:45pm finally got a chance to measure my Albert gravity 2.6's today. 61mm at their widest point on a 30mm i9 rim. My 2.6 Dissector on another 30mm i9 rim is 67mm. So they're definitely on the small side. I have a set of Albert 2.5's in the trail casing arriving Monday

It kinda feels like the bike has a bit more travel and you're riding with really low pressure.

I only had one day on them and SoCal conditions are schizophrenic, a combination of deep sand and concrete but I agree. They definitely don't feel like they roll slow even as Schwable says and the "muted" feeling people talk about actually provides a little extra confidence that they're not skipping around, like they're tracking straight(er). I would add two observations: the Albert on the rear was surprisingly good under braking and the rounded shape was consistent edge to edge up front. Opposite of the Assegai and not something I thought I'd like. Even with higher PSI when you weight...

1/18/2025 10:06pm The radial Albert’s are the real deal. Mine are gravity super soft 2.6’s front and rear. Had my first race on them today and the grip combined with the damped feeling of the gravity casing added a whole new layer of confidence for me. The most surprising aspect though, the fact that they pedal and roll quite well. Much more...

I'm no scientist but if the width is round (the casing) and it's flattened won't the contact patrch end up wider than the static measurement? Especially if the knobs also flex out. So, if the radial is doing what it's marketed to do, a Maxxis measuring the same static width would have a narrower contact patch than a radial. That's how I understand that the secret sauce of the radial is meant to be.

1/14/2025 12:10pm I just installed 2.6 albert radials with the gravity casing on 30mm rims and without measuring (yet) I can verify that they are small

Could you measure the width between those two alberts? From what I’ve read on mtbr forums, all radials are undersized.

It’s a recent one- “roads? Where we’re going we don’t need roads…” couldn’t resist as it’s from one of my favourite films! He does some cracking stuff.

Harry - its been a few years but I was visiting this page to send the link to someone else and realize I never answered you. The DJ frame was picked for a few reasons. First, I've never owned one. I grew up racing BMX and a DJ always seemed like the perfect blend of both BMX and MTB. Second, at the time I had been taking my son to the pump track to work on his bike skills and wanted to be able to show him some things as well as have fun. Third, purpose. I never intended to...
