Unfortunately not able to make the bd ride mrs is taking me to the big rock in the centre. Me and a few mates have been using the kenda carlsburg and found them to be a great tyre riding a lot round Dora creek and red hill. I like the 952 when it’s new but can get scary half worn. Just bought set of kenda buds creek will let you know how they go.

Dunlop D952 is my tyre of choice as well. Front and rear. Tried a few different brands over the years and as my better half dislikes “unnecessary spending” (upgrades, regular maint, tinkering, tyres,,,,) , I need tyres that will not wear quickly in the predominantly rocky/hard terrain I ride in, as well as giving confidence all round.
New rubber for the BD ride. Cant wait!

I ended up with a 120/100 Pirelli MX Extra X I fitted last minute on Sat morning trying to get a ride in. The IRC that arrived from Rocky Mountain was a 130/80, despite my order and the invoice clearly stating it should have been a 130/100.

Normally I would have fitted the IRC anyway but it was too small to be fitted with the mousse. The Pirelli isn’t a great deal better though in the fitting department, still a comparitively small tyre.

As Boony says, it’s black with knobs on it so it will do. I hear Boony has extensive experience with balck knobs as well………

Just got back from riding at Sunny Corner with Galey, running in some of his grade 5 loop, I started with a half worn Bridgestone 404 on the back and it is now destroyed, bits of knobs missing everywhere. I was getting plenty of traction, I guess thats why the knobs tore off. We only rode about 45kms.

Damn LC . That is an intermediate terrain tyre isnt it? Lucky it wasnt a soft terrain tyre.Then again if you dont spin the wheel up you wont tear the knobs apparently! :whistle:

[Matt BakerMember]

Yep 404 is intermediate, I never really rated it thats why I put it for the ride today, If it got the crap ripped out of it (which it did) I don’t care.

:laugh: Ok Galey I get it you dont see it or are willing to be open to it :laugh: Lets see I will run a brand new Geomax 31 on the birthday ride its a soft terrian tyre, its rated for mud/ soft, I will have it on the back of the 530 and will be under the pump to preform on your ride so only time will tell :blink: :blink:

BTW it isnt my theory its something I have heard from people smarter and better riders than me which isnt hard

if your not sposed to spin up the back wheel why bother riding just my theory .buy tyres that can handle it and don t give a f%&k and have fun .so does this mean it will be safe to ride behind you TB(i dout it bet you go back to your old fun ways )

No way Rocket there is no way I am going back to my old ways, no I will be a new me in the carpark :laugh:

There is s difference between spinning it up and just sliding it and when it spins keeping it sideways and spinning for the hell of it isnt there :huh: :laugh: :woohoo: The 530 doesnt have the topend of the 650 but, the 530 has more bottom end snap but the 650 will brain it up top. Look its all something I am learning maybe, dont try dont know do you
