Hey, thanks for watching! I’m currently running Conti Xynotal Trail front and rear. It’s been one of my favorite setups, but recently I realized you can only get one bead with these tires. I had them on five bikes, and every time I broke the bead, whether for wheel service or a sealant top up, the tire never went back on straight, it then had a really bad wobble. I learned this over quite a few attempts. So Julie’s bike we flipped back over to Maxxis Dissectors, MaxTerra, Exo+ which is pretty comparable. I hated the DHF, DHR combo. I don’t like DHR as a front tire either, everything DH felt very slow. I’ve had Rekon in the rear, and wanted more grip. I ran a Magic Mary/Hans Damf for a while and had no complaints. I considered Hans Damf front and rear, but ended up with the Dissectors again. What do you prefer?
What’s your tire setup? Always curious what people like to ride around here.
