I ride a large 2018 Smuggler with 430mm CS and 475mm reach and it's positively unrideable 🤦‍♂️ lol

Here is some non radial tire talk - I’ve been running the Michelin Wild Enduro MS Racing Line front and rear for a season and a half now. In general I’d say it’s been the best set and forget tire I have used. Similar loose condition performance to other all-rounders like the Magic Mary or High Roller, but holds up better on hard pack. I really like the casing too - supportive without being harsh, not too heavy, and haven’t had any flats (yet). Thinking I’ll try the new Performance Line option as a rear tire to get more life...

snowsnakes Started a new thread Charger 3.1 rebound tuning question
5/11/2026 8:02am While my Pike is getting serviced, I decided to try the Heavy compression tune for a slightly less “fluttery” feel with more support, but I’m not sure if I should stick with the standard rebound tune, or go with the Heavy option there as well. If I understand correctly, that tune would give me slower options for rebound, which I...

5/8/2026 9:12pm OP was talking about expensive framesets, so it probably won’t do, but I’m still absolutely in love with my REEB SST. Something about the suspension design and steel frame make it feel just muted enough to ride on almost anything, but still super spritely and playful. It’s the perfect rig to play “bike LEGO” with, because it plays well with...

Tacky Chan rolls faster than Albert and is a lot easier to initiate a drift in (rear). That was one of my issues with Albert also - it was really hard to consistently get it to slide into corner pockets. TC behaves a lot like a DHR in that regard.

5/8/2026 3:50pm I’m personally really excited to try swapping the Albert Radial rear for a Romy Diagonal in the same compound and casing (Trail Soft). The Albert is definitely plush feeling, but it does feel like it saps a ton of energy from the bike when climbing or on moderate downhills. I also really prefer being able to slide the rear wheel...

Wow, part way through the Downtime recap and it sounds like this race was a total junk show from a safety/organizational standpoint.

The tread is very different, take a look at the photos on their website. Before it was like a pair of wide knobs, then 3 small/narrow rows of 2, then the wide ones again. Now it's 2 wide, 2 medium, 2 wide.

The tread pattern was also changed to make less of transition. Schwalbe say the 2.5 will be better if this is what you're looking for

5/5/2026 11:16pm Thanks @KylerOnBikes and @AndehM ! I wasn’t sure if the 2.4 had an updated pattern, but now I see it clearly doesn’t, and also isn’t offered in Radial! Looks like I’ll try the Romy Diagonal rear for now with the Magic Mary front I already have, and then swap it for a 2.5 TC Radial in June if I can...

5/5/2026 12:33pm Anyone have a read on the differences between the 2.4 and 2.5 Radial Tacky Chan? If it’s just a wider casing, I’m inclined to order the 2.4 for less transition between center and side knobs, but I wasn’t sure if there were other differences.

I would probably just use a radial in the front and a regular casing in the rear if rolling resistance is of any significance

I just updated the lever and hoses and the silver is a legit silver now. My calipers have that slight blue hue to them in some light and the levers don’t.

4/20/2026 5:08pm Are the “silver” DHR Evo pros actually that weird metallic blue-grey color? I’m thinking of getting a set for my Reeb SST since it can only run 180mm rotor in the rear, and I push it pretty hard. Just need to decide between black or “silver”.

3/7/2026 9:33am Grid Trail is in my experience less protective but more supple, with better feel than the Conti Enduro. As far as softness/grip goes, I’d place T9 and T7 as softer than the Conti compounds, but not quite as soft as MaxxGrip and MaxxTerra respectively.
