Tyre question -SORRY
Could you recommend me a pair of tyres for year round use on my hardtail, please? Previous tyres were front WTB Trail Boss 2.25 650b and rear WTB Beer Line 2.2 650b.

Re: Tyre question -SORRY
What sort of riding and surface will you be using them for?
Re: Tyre question -SORRY
Schwalbe Rocket Rons work well in most conditions. I don't recall flints when I lived in Loughborough which can be thier undoing.
Re: Tyre question -SORRY
If you are doing on-road riding compass tyres are the nicest I have used and come in 650b sizes.
Re: Tyre question -SORRY
Any road riding will be just to connect off road sections.
Riding is roughly split 60% off road, most often Peak District, and 40% trail centres.

Re: Tyre question -SORRY
I use Racing Ralph's as a great fast rolling tyre. For trail centres, Nobby Nicks probably a better option.

Re: Tyre question -SORRY
I run Hutchinson Toro's back and front on one of my hardtails, and on my second hardtail a Schwalbe Racing Ralph on the front, with a Schwalbe Rocket Ron on the rear. I quite like the loose feel that the Racing Ralph on the front gives. The Rocket Ron struggles for traction during the wet winter months, but I stick with the set up, as I also enjoy the low rolling resistance that they offer.
Toro's are superb, but they seem to develop a habit of becoming porous on the sidewall if run for any length of time as a tubeless set up. I have had two sets in row become porous, which is obviously not an ideal thing to have happen.
