less, remember it's priced it £ rather than $. brakes and drivetrain look quite dated
edit, £1250 is currently $1941.50 according to google
didnt realize that, well that looks like the bike is priced too much in my opinion.

Hey guys I just ordered a set of small block 8s. From who I've talked to and from all the reviews I've read they seem pretty good but what are some pros and cons of the tire from your perspectives?

*edit* I also ride park and footbrake occasianally

I love them as a rear tire, fast rolling, decent braking traction, and OK in corners, but I dislike them on the front. They don't grip enough to be a good front tire, and I'd recommend using something meatier, like a Schwalbe Table Top

if you slay bowls, or ride concrete a lot they are loud, squirmy(the knobs them selves), and pinch flat really easy. the DTH was designed as a BMX race tire for the 2008 Beijing Olympics so to say it wont grip dirt is a load of shit.

if you want a better tire for dirt/park mix look at the Specialized Rhythm Lite, or the Schwalbbe Table Top.

DTH's are awesome tires and I ride them in the wet and I shockingly have had a no problems. They're fantastic tires! And throw something a little grippier in the front (ikon, race king, etc.) and its a killer combo.

i realise this is the slope thread but he asked the question in every jump bike thread possible so i got it slightly confused. given that pretty well anyone in here isnt actually riding "slope" you either have the dirt jump tire set up or the free-ride/trail tire set up
