I think you will. I liked them. Definitely on my list of things to get. Waiting for spesh to bring out 27.5 before I break my rig again.

I be going to the ups today Isaac! Slocal, you sure you want conti? All my experiences have been shit with them except on my cyclocross but I have the $12 wire jobbies on there. Schwalbe hd front, rocket ron rear for around here.

That heat sucks. Heading out for a ride on the coast now. Currently foggy at 61 with a high of 74.

They are 2.35s and the rear nobby nic but it is shot, was fun breaking the rear loose with ease this morning though. I really like the volume of the Conti 2.4s though I might end up sticking with Schwable?

I hate Conti's as stated and I checked and the Q does not have them in stock yet. I no want the nobby but if I were you I would keep the HD around.

Not saying its better in all conditions, or quality. It does hook up better in turns up front for me in the loose over hard pack, they are great tires!

HD is horrible for our conditions as a front. Works well for rear, but gives out too much in sandy stuff. Esp if it's worn at all...

The Nobby Nic is more popular here for the front in the 2.4 with the HD in the 2.35 rear. The side knobs work very well for the front. I'm on the Wicked Will which is great a more FR/DH oriented version of the NN. But I don't know if they make that in 27.5. I'd really suggest the new Vigilante from WTB. Or HR2 from Maxxis.

You ride at Whiting? Nice man, that'll be the perfect testing ground for it. I had my first ride there a couple weeks ago. Don't have a clue where it went since I went with the local shop. Haha.

Funny, had my first ride there last week. Its a super easy place to find your way around, its pretty much park at the supermarket by the trailhead and most trails loop back down. They also have trails that connect with other trails like the luge.

That is pretty funny! I'd be riding there everyday but that shop has my new frame.. Told me two weeks to install a headset and bb? Wtf? I've heard of the luge but I don't think I went that way. It was fun though. Just moved near it so I needed a new place to ride. Lol
