I went to Moon Rocks in Nevada last weekend and just did 50 miles of singletrack at Georgetown yesterday. I thought the golden tyre worked great under power but felt terrible under braking. I guess it's just me.
Sorry the tire didn't work out for you. The tire is a directional tire which has double cups on the back sides of the knobbies for increased braking power. The leading edge of the front tire usually wears first and I find it curious that your braking edge is worn more. Anyway, I understand that this tire isn't for everyone and I have no doubt that your front tire will find a happy home.
Tried my non fatty version this weekend,. Worked great just like the other one. Love these tires. Will report and have some vid.
ok my debit card is in my hand im pullin the trigger Tinken says go for the fat one but IDK ...144 on a MX track need some input here guys
I love that place. So far, my favorite place to ride. To be honest, I didn't realize it was directional either. It's very possible that I mounted it backwards. I'm going to give it another try on my dualsport. Thanks for the heads up guys!
True statement, these tires are so fresh, with tall sidewalls, that running traditional pressure would make it seem flat tied into the truck. Then when it broke in after 40-50 miles it looked like I had a leak somewhere. Finally just bumped it up and all better.
I'll be using mine for the first time down at the Tecate enduro. What do you think-14lbs? (normally run 13 with all other tires).
