^^ I think there’s a bit of confusion here because there’s now an even newer new purgatory too

Not a huge fan of my current dhf/dhr combo so looking for something that rolls noticeably better without completely neutering my pivot switchblade.

What is the spesh equivalent of exo+? Grid or...

I don’t know that I agree with that.

Based on the pictures the new one has much tighter knob spacing and doesn’t have huge open voids that the old one had. I would have thought that’d make it a...

I found Contis readily available from German e-tailers at good prices even with shipping cost a couple of weeks ago

Smmokan had initial comments on the Contis a few pages back. I’ve got a pair of Xynotals in transit but might be awhile before I get to try them.

Re meaty XC - trying to go down this path for my...

Thanks smmokan

Doesn’t matter what tires are on my wife’s bike - she’s gonna be on the brakes the whole way down anyway. I learned awhile ago that the entire experience for her (and...

Thanks for input everyone - I’m not beholden to maxxis but its hard enough to understand differences in their line up that throwing in all the multitude of other brands and tire options quickly...

Yup - tire choice is all about compromise but I’m thinking there has to be a compromise that works better for her. If i have to try categorize her riding and what we’re looking for it’d be beefy xc...

Looking for something a little lighter and a bit faster rolling for my lady than the oem high roller II on her trance.
CO rockies, lot of dry hardpack, loose over firm, throw in some rocks and roots...
