I Paid £14.93 (RRP64.99 at the time) or there a bouts under £15 per tyre anyway on trade for these over a year and a half ago now (just shows how much extra the sell them for) but they have been going strong, been to the Alps and many other places on these, rear tyre is showing signs of bits of the breaking thread ripping off the corners but the majority is still there. Front tyre put next to a new one you would find it hard to tell the difference. ran them most of the summer on my V10, they havnt been ridden constantly as swampthings or wescreams have come out for the wet weather. but for a dry tyre they have been on all the time. I would recomend them. sidewalls are a little thinner than maxxis high roller duel ply but still never encountered a puncture running 20-30psi depending on conditions. considering getting some for my 650B enduro bike as dislike the schwalbe nobby nicks or what ever they are for their paper thin sidewall, already a double pinch flat running 32-35psi on the front tyre!

So why when clipped in can you accelerate much quicker if it is so wrong and slower and bad??? And hate to bring road into this... But surely they know something about performance, millions and millions of £ are spent on loosing hundreds if not thousands of a second. All road riders + track riders use clipped in pedals, don't they, with super stiff carbon soles to get rid of flex otherwise known as wasted energy. So surely more power is transferred through the pedals in this way compared to pushing and not pulling. Pushing and pulling together must transmit more than 1.5 times the power to just pushing surely??
