I know im asking randomly but does someone know a tool to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot the password. I would love any tricks you can give me!

@Travis Jude I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out atm.
Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Travis Jude it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much, you really help me out :D
Great video and super informative. Thanks
Thanks Scotty! Very informative 😀
PLEASE CONTINUE MAKING SUCH AWESOME VIDEOS
🤘
Awesome video!!
Your videos are so good Every time I am angry your videos calm me down
Super Nice Whip! 👍
I must of missed this one only 7 months late 😩 great info on the tyres, love the tyre selections on both your bikes defiantly will try one of your set ups on my bike soon just finding it hard to get the tyres at the moment
I think it’s hard getting all bike parts at the moment...
first time seeing your vids, so cool!
Thanks man!
Great video! What are your thoughts about running a Big Betty up front with a Nobby Nic in the rear?
Interested to try new Nobby Nic. Love the old ones, super great all-around tyre, but always wanted a bit more cornering grip on loose.
This should be the ticket for you then!
New Subscriber - Found Scotty’s tut vids on GCN so informative and wondered where he went too - this popped up on my feed today - hit that button!! And I’ll backtrack from there - I’m in for new tyres shortly and pretty sure it’s going to be Schwalbe after too long on Spez/Maxxis
Ahh man! Welcome!! Stoked to have you here...
Good vid, been riding Schwalbes for a few years, super happy with a Ralph/Nic combo on my XC bike. Getting a Jeffsy 27 soon and will swap out the E13 tyres straight away. Interested you went Nic front and rear and not with a Mary up front. After a combo well suited to Surrey Hills steeps whilst not being draggy to pedal (had some HDs in the past which were great in Afan but bloody awful getting around local XC trails in loam and mud.
Magic Mary would be a good match up front for a little bigger bike for sure. The Spark’s only 120mm so felt the Nobby Nic up front would be perfect for the riding I do on it
I have Nobby Nic speed version and it's a great ride
Great Video Scotty, natural and down to earth with some good riding segments.
Been riding Bontranger SE4 and 5's for a couple years but as my tech level progressed I found I didn't like them. Waiting on a Nobby Nic 29 x 2.6 speedgrip for the rear end of my bike and pairing it with a 29 x 2.6 Hans Dampf up front in a speedgrip as well.
Super Trail for both but wanting the larger volume for natural rough trails I ride as well as commuting back and forth to them via paved and gravel roads.
Also thought the larger volume would be good for winter riding in snow and ice.
With the SE4, they washout in loose conditions very easy and also have no grip over damp roots and rocks and the SE5 I don't like the lack of transition knobs. The SE5 seems more suited to trail centers than the off-camber tech chunder I ride.
Again, can't wait for the new rubber to arrive. ))
Sounds like you’ve got the right mix there! I’ve never had any experiance of Bontrager tires but love my Schwalbe’s! 🙂
Finally some tan walls that are not hard or thin walled!
FOR ME THE BEST, I use Schwalbe in my road and in my xc bike, One and Thunder Burt respectly
Super Video.Super Typ.👍👌
Thanks for sharing! great video! I will buy a pair of magic Merys super gravity for my ebike:)
Perfect setup for an eBike!
The best brand - my all time favorites are Magic Mary's , but I don't like the new ultrasoft compound - it's a bit harsh and not damping enough . The old Vertstar DH Triple was way better in that area( still the best imho) . I'm glad they didn't change the rest of the tire.
Hi Scotty. Im due some tire changes for the winter. Currently riding a 2016 Cannondale habit carbon 1 which I use for everything, Blacks, reds and then XC. What would you recommend I put on front and back? Currently have Maxxis/Hans Dampf on the bike. Thanks.
Ordered big Betty for the back of my evil wreckoning n cant wait to try it out. Im running magic mary up front 90% of the time unless it gets super muddy then dirty dan goes on, but always run a maxxis minion dhr2 on the back since schwalbe didn't have a tire in that kinda style so im totally stoked for big betty, had to order it from Germany since I couldn't find any in Britain lol
Hope you love it man! They’re awesome, perfect pairing to the Magic Mary!!
Hi Scot
quick question...the rotation of the Nob N is same for back and front wheel ..should I put the rear opposite or stick with the arrow printed in the tired. Whatt you did in your test????
Hi scotty! greetings from the philippines! please answer my question can i use the racing ray 29x 2.25 for both my front and rear wheel?
My 2021 new blue Nobby Nic 27,5x2,80 Supertrail, Addix Speedgrip (n. 11654116): Weight cca 1081grams (rear for e-bike)
Looks the goods
Great except where are you supposed to find magic mary super trail in the uk?
i hope they have good sidewalls
First of all, thanks for taking the time to do this; I appreciate your good work. Question: I'm buying a new Pivot Switchblade with 29er wheels (DT Swiss carbon XMC 1501 ID: 30MM) and need help selecting the right Schwalbe tire combination. I live in the USA, in the Pacific Northwest. I'm guessing maybe I should get the Nobby Nic combo you used but instead in size 2.6? My bike will support 29 X 2.6 tire clearance and that's the tire size I'd like to try. Can you please give me a couple of tire combinations that would be good for me? I will be primarily trail riding on blue and single black diamond rated runs. Thanks...
Nobby Nic 2.6 sounds perfect, you should check out the new super trail casing too! Sounds as though it’s a great match for your riding style.
Scotty good job 👍
Schwalbe Nobby Nic very good 👍every day)
All you guys are lucky. Here in New Zealand, we are generally always last to recieve new products. Sad times I know, but these are definatley going to be on the xmas list!!!! Scotty, would you say the Betty can be used for both Summer and Winter riding?
Definetely, it’ll be on my bike for the rest of our summer and I’ll see how it fairs in winter conditions!
Man a Big Betty front and Nobby Nic rear combo would be tlts!
I’ve yet to find out what a Big Betty is like up front!
Hey there, follower from Brasil, congrats on your content! I have a new Trek Top Fuel 8 an i'm searching for a more agressive front tire to pair with a Crossking 2.3 on the rear (trail riding mostly, nothing too agressive). Would you suggest a Nobby Nic or a Hans Dampf? Thanks/ obrigado!
I want a box !!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
NN are the best al around Tire i have riden sins early - 90 i am at my 4 rear Tire now, i ride everything exept DH for that i would use the BB, but NN are the best out there right now regarding, rolling, braking, cornering, and grip it does everything so good!
I would almost 100% agree with you especially paired with a MM for all round riding. When it gets big n burly I go for the Magic n Betty combo!
Hey man nice to hear this regarding the NN. I am looking for a new front tire for my Top Fuel and one of them is the new NN 2.4 Superground Soft. In the reviews that i read i see lots of negative comments on them, mostly on the old version, but everytime i see the NN knobs arrangement i do not understand the reason for that. This newest version seem too be very good.
@@marcalsamways9825 The NN are more of an Trail tire,a'bit shorter nopps,so its not as heavy and better roling resistance, but for DH get em MM or Bettys
Nice video man, im planning to buy racing ray and to match it with my racing ralph, is it worth it?
100% yip, check my first ride of my XC bike to see the set up in action!
Why did Schwalbe and theirs sponsorised riders don't highligt the Rocket Ron ?
I would like really to see what those tyres can do
Hey man! Check out my previous video, I’m riding it there. I focused primarily on the new tires they launched rather than existing models they had!
Do you know when Scott Sports are formally releasing all the 2021 Mountain Bikes? I've seen a few bike shops putting the odd one up on instagram, but wondering when we'll see them all.
I believe it’s September 1st, I’ve seen some teasers too and so far they’re 🔥
⭐Schwalbe mTb tires are Excellence⭐☕🌵🇺🇸fast "asf" & trail confidence . .....mines are👍🇺🇸thanx for making these . . .🇺🇸
They’re the best eh!
@@ScottyLaughland Big Betty rear 2.4 & Nobby Nick 2.4 . ...desert fast on Arizona terrain, ScottsdaLe, Arizona🍸🌵🍸🇺🇸& now on highly heated surfaces, dirt & rock mine are worn but hold👍⭐
Can I purchase the box anywhere (seriously)? Bad ass!
Hi Scott
Your thoughts please -
I'm a total diehard fan of Magic Mary f & r on my emtb but running cushcore too so always used snakeskin with no problems or rim flats to call of.
Thinking of running SG MM on r & trailstar MM up f but both without the inserts. Would i be ok with that do you think please ? I ride steep techy off piste mostly but also love to ride the rocky techy uphill
climbs with having the Emtb.
I'm just worried the SG on its own wouldn't stop those rim strikes .
Thank you
Ps you said the big better sits just below the MM do you mean in terms of grip ?
I'd recommend trying the Big Betty on the rear with the Magic Mary up front both Addix Soft and in Super Gravity - personally I've found this to be the ultimate eMTB tire combo! I haven't tried an inset would potentially be curious to have it on the rear on a eMTB as it takes more impacts but up front with the SG's you could probably ditch it. Hope that helps?
Hello scotty, what do you think about the 29x2,6 Betty and Mary súper gravity soft combo??? Is it to much the 2,6????
Thanx 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
I think the tire combination is perfect however I have no experience with the 2.6 only the 2.4 and I think these are perfect.
Great new options, a shame you can't get your hands on them here in the UK, even the distributor doesn't have stock, I wish when companies launch new products that they have stock available as it only drives a potential customer to the competition, so frustrating.
I hear you! I’ll send on the feedback. The Big Betty will be worth the wait trust me dude!
@@ScottyLaughland cheers, I've managed to source a couple of the new Big Betty from Germany, launches should run simultaneously in every market in my opinion.
@@TAZMON20 How's the rolling resistance of the betty?
Scotty, I know its been a while since this video for you to keep testing, I'm curious now you have spent more time on the Big Betty out back, do you still think it rolls better pedaling as a rear tire relative to the same casing/compound Hans Dampf, Im looking at 29x2.4 Supertrail soft and trying to decide between the 2. thanks!
I think the Hans is a little faster rolling but the Big Betty offers more traction so it’s a trade off in what your looking for, if it’s fast rolling then I’m a big fan of the Nobby Nic!
@@ScottyLaughland Thank you!
@@ScottyLaughland would the knobby nic front and rear be a great combo for just all around trail riding ? Thank you!
Wats good for hardtail 27.5 2.35
Great Video, has the hans dampf got an overhaul too?
Just the addition of the updated casings but the tread pattern remains the same!
Thanks
hi, ı use scott spark. but I'm not sure if the tires will be in the squad. do you think i can wear it without any problem?
I’m not sure on the Big Betty but the Nobby Nic would be perfect!
Those tan walls!
I've got magic mery. I bought 2 Nobby Nic for my misses bike.
I'm waiting for Hans dampf to come in a post. Now I can't to get big betty.
To they make magic mery 29 2.6 with supper soft ?
Unsure on the Magic Mary, you’re best bet would be to check out Schwalbe’s site for all the info!
Can i put the big betty with the super Gravity on a 30mm rim? Thanks for the nice Video.
You sure can!
Hi I just watched video. Im kinda interested on the big betty, the tread is quite similar to the dhr2 2.4wt? Acceleration and braking power how was it? And Will you be able to compare the new magic mary + big betty combo to a maxxis dhf dhr2 combo?
Do schwalbe tires have wobbles? (Though correctly fitted) maxxis dhr2 often have quality issues, reason why I want to try the schwalbes, looks way better than other tires.
Thanks in advance!
I’ve not any DHR experiance, the Big Betty has been awesome. It’s noticeably offers more grip than the Hans Dampf but isn’t as hard work to pedal back up as say a Magic Mary. Kinda a win win. I’ve never experienced any ‘wobbles’ with Schwalbe touch wood!!
@@ScottyLaughland alright thank you for the reply! I would love to try them out when they're released here.any ways! Safe riding!~
I'm using Magic Mary tires for trail riding (lots of wet rocks and roots). Would putting a Big Betty on the rear help me roll faster?
Yip, it’s slightly faster rolling and has improved acceleration compare to Magic Mary but the patterns spaced out enough it should clear easily!
Thanks
Hey Scotty,
Do you know what the E25/E50 e-bike specification means? Is it just a burlier casing and are the tires you ride E25?
I just bought a Magic Mary E25 because the new tires seem to have this designation
Cheers, Georg
Unsure on this one dude! Sorry!
European vehicle legislation means that Speed Pedalecs (The faster E-Bikes that are assisted up to 50km/h and which are not currently legal in the UK) have to have either B rated or ECE-R75 rated tyres hence the E50 marking. E25 is for all the regular 25km/h eBikes that we have in the UK and is our approval for suitability on and eBike. So either E25 or E50 is fine any standard UK spec eBike.
Whoa Big Betty, rambalambalam
Big Betty had a child, damn thing gone wild!
Are schwalbe tires true to size? 2.4 actually is 2.4 inches just wondering bcus Maxxis not they smaller than advertised
I can’t comment on this from a brand point I’m afraid but I believe they are a true 2.4.
So how do the new Nobby Nic compare to the old ones?
A good improvement overall!
Hi! I've been riding Nobby Nic 29x2.60 since 2018 and I need something new.
I don't like the Nobby Nic at all, after the first mud puddle I'm driving around 3 kilos of mud per tire around with me. Could also have a little deeper knobs because with my PW-X engine lose traction on the mountain on the rear in the mud pretty quickly. Does anyone have an idea?
Is Big Betty the right one for me?^^
Big Betty’s a great tire. Also the Nobby Nic was revamped when this video was live and for me in Scotland even in muddy conditions is perfect!!
I was looking to buy some Magic Marys but the Big Betty looks promising a well. Thumbs up for Schwalbe for still manufacturing 26" tyres. But thumbs down for not making all the models. I fear the day is coming when my tyre choices will be limited to Maxxis, which in performance would be fine but their designs burn my eyes.
Get a Magic Mary and a Big Betty on the rear, you’ll be sorted and stoked. Guess they gotta go with the market trends, plus seeing and hearing the price of moulds - I’m not surprised!
@@ScottyLaughland Yeah I guess that's where the market went. The Magic Mary and Big Betty combo sounds good. I wish we had a 2.5 or 2.6 option for anything similar, I'd run that up front but the 2.35 will do.
Im currently running assegai front and dhr2 rear on nukeproof scout 290 expert….but they just seem sluggish and overkill for the flat flowing singletrack im riding here in uk (waiting for double hernia op so taking things easy) want to swap for something better rolling but still with some decent grip and tough sidewall casing as im 17 stone …been looking at this brand…any advice on the combo to go for ?
I’d say a Super Trail Magic Mary up front paired with either a Super Gravity Hans Dampf (faster rolling) or a Big Betty (more grip) both soft compound! Hope that helps...
I use NN al around
How does the super trail compare to the old tle?
It offers a little more protection and a little more stability!
Big betty super trail equivalent to maxxis exo plus?
I’m unfamiliar with the Maxxis range tbh. Super Trail is designed perfectly for trail bike riding and the further up the line, the casings are designed for more gravity based. The Super Trail is a great compromise between between weight and protection!!
At first I was excited of their new line. But when I noticed that the XC-tyres RacinhRay/Ralph is now even heavier than before I got disappointed... I hope their listing is wrong.
It's only about an extra 50g per tyre. But the Super Ground now has full a wraparound SnakeSkin layer instead of just on the sidewalls as with the previous SnakeSkin version. Worth the extra bit of weight for the additional protection.
@@TimWardUK, good point. But still 0.1kg on a already way to heavy XC Racer that hasn't punctured in a good while 😂
Also, what happened with the colors?! :)
@@tegheim Which colors?
@@TimWardUK I have the 2020-retro yellow/nature-skin. The new color looks much darker.
@@tegheim It's maybe a little darker but it's more of a different tone of color. It's of a brown/orange tone than the previous Classic-Skin which was more of a yellow tone. Should still look good though.
Big Nice
Super nice
I love the Magic Mary up in front. How would you compare the Big Betty to the Hans Dampf in the rear in terms of rolling speed/acceleration?
Faster rolling, less aggressive breaking and great acceleration. If you’re a enduro/all mountain hitter these are your calling!!
What size mary do you run up front
29 x 2.4 Magic Mary up front, 29 x 2.4 Big Betty on the rear, both soft compound.
How does Big Betty compare to Hans Dampf?
It’s a little more aggressive and offers more grip all round! A great match with the Magic Mary up front!
Wish the dude had some sidewobble as i get every 3-4th new schwalbe tire.
Great review! Just purchased online a Big Betty SG 29 x 2.6. Would love to run Magic Mary SG x 2.6 upfront but i couldn't find one just yet.
This me coming from a MM front and Hans Dampf rear 29 x 2.35 that came stock with my 2019 Cube Stereo 150 TM.
Thank you, glad to hear you’re stoked on them!
Are they much better than MAXXIS's tyres for enduro riding?
Don’t have the ability to compare, I’ve ridden Schwalbe’s for the last 8 years and love em!
I get free Vittoria tires from my sponsor so using them.
SCOTTY BRO WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR OLD BIKES O YOU STILL HAVE THEM OR SOMETHING ELSE ? PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT COFFEE AND WHY YOU STOP DRINKING BLACK COFFEE?
Dirty dan needs a revise too!
I’ll pass on the message!
New Nobby Nics vs Maxxis High Roller II?
Not tried anything from Maxxis for quite a few years now!
29er sir.. 2.25 do you have.??
29 x 2.4!
What about the Hans Dampf
Remains unchanged but updated with the new casings!
You mentioned the compound hardness.
So, how soft is soft? 60 Shore A or harder?
Unsure on this exactly, check Schwalbe's website for more detail.
We don't publish Durometer ratings for our compounds. We just have the comparative names.
@@TimWardUK i see, thought this could be the case after i didn't find something on the website.
Thanks for answering that anyway, appreciated!
John
But where is Big Bertha? Or Bouncing Betty?
Let’s stick with Big Betty!
How can your bike look like you just bought it 1Hour before the Video?
I have my tricks! 😉
Sumple maxxis
Great bike , rides smooth th-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L I added a bigger spring loaded seat to it . Takes a bit of adjusting cables to get brakes and shifting to perfect . I've owned quite a few bikes in the past that were absolutely uncomfortable to ride and they always ended up as garage wall decor . I'm not seeing that with this one. It's pretty light I've only ridden it a few miles but I like it . As for the pedals falling off in the other reviews , the pedal arms are aluminum along with the pedal studs look to be also . I would not overtighten them. I can see it would be very easy to overtighten them and strip the threads right off . All in all I think it's pretty good quality besides the aluminum pedal thing
Where hans dampf??????
It’s not been revamped this year!
first
No like on this vid cause no XC tires test on Scott Scale and I‘m XC rider😑
Sorry man! Focused on the change of tread patterns and addition of Super Trail to the line up... Check the first ride of my XC bike to see them in action!

Schwalbe-shit! No!
Open to helping solve your poor experience with constructive criticism!
Big Betty, the price are twice the average ! If you are a professional, and you make a living from MTB it may worth the money !
