Makes sense. I've been riding a rigid singlespeed with my daughter to match her bike.

Jenson's site quoted $204 + $140 insurance for $9k bike shipped coast to coast. Since you can take a bike box on the plane for $25-$30 each way with American or United, Jenson's service doesn't make much sense for travel, particularly since round trip you're looking at $688 vs $50-$60. For selling & shipping a bike it looks like a much better proposition: I got a rate of $335 from Pirateship for UPS shipping coast to coast, and on UPS site it was $575, both sans insurance. Bikeflights quote was $278 shipping + $140 insurance, so yes, Jenson did get...

Running Schwalbe Alberts, Trail casing super soft on 160/140 travel trail bike. They are crazy good, they just erase small trail chatter. Running 3-4psi more than previous tires, at 27F/30R and still feel like I could go up without any issues with traction. When climbing tech they deform and grip amazingly well and with the pressure I'm running no issues rimming-out on chunky rock or rolling when loaded into corners. Have multiple trail rides and two park days on them so far. Have been using Maxxis Assegai/DHRII in Exo+/Maxxterra combo and Vittoria Mazza in Trail/4C casing/compound on this bike this...

Anyone still drunk off the Schwalbe "Radial Revolution" kool-aid? They seem to be more available now. What pressures differences are you running compared to previous tires? I have heard of people going up as much as 10 psi with the same traction/feel as before. Is that legit?

I get away with fairly low pressures, particularly on my trail bike that sort of maxes out at about a 3' drop but still sees plenty of chunk. (I'm 182#s) My old AND current set up was a Cross King in the rear with a lightweight insert (broke a rim last year, even with the insert, but at 21 psi) is 23 psi. For the front tire I was mostly running 19 psi with the other tires I was testing, like the Purgatory T9 but when I tried that with the Albert it felt funny right away. A bit of...

I have a new favorite for my front tire on my Smuggler. It's a 2.5 Albert Ultrasoft trail tire. I had initially bought it for my Relay front and found that with the speeds and terrain I encountered on the e-bike, the Albert was just inadequate and it has since been replaced by a very good Magic Mary Radial. I then tested the Albert 2.5 US up front on my Smuggler. LOVE IT! It's very fast and has enough traction for that application.

11/12/2024 8:02am thanks for posting this. I always thought Bontrager tires were underrated. Been a fan of the SE4 for years. Even ran the SE5 and SE6 on my park bike last season with a decent level of success. I think Trek/Bontrager and Specialized both miss out of a lot of tire sales by not advertising and/or explaining changes to their lineup...

I've went through a few fronts on my trail bike including Specialized Ground Control T7, XR4 Team Issue 2.4, Onza Ibex, Specialized Purgatory T9 & currently Schwalbe Tacky Chan UltraSoft Super Ground GC, is not great. It's no faster than other options with worse traction. The Ibex is just, so fast. But not quite enough traction as it wears even slightly. If speed is the primary concern and you don't mind replacing often (before you even see wear), this is your tire. If you are on the GC, switch to the Ibex. It's crazy how AM it looks, yet XC...

Bontrager drops two new enduro tires for the rough and rowdy [Waterloo, WI] – Today, Bontrager brought even more trail-charging prowess to its MTB tire lineup with two new tires built for rocky, rooty, and technical terrain. Engineered from the ground up, the all-new Bontrager Brevard and Galbraith tires are ready to rip with fresh tread patterns, construction, and compounds to keep riders planted and in control in loose, technical descents — all while fighting punctures from trail debris and pinch flats. Like the trail and XC tires added to...
