Monty Race 19" tyre (*NEW*) - Page 3

I have a spare try-all and because its the greatest trials tire i have ever ridden.

Right I gave one of these a stab and here are my thoughts, I am a novice in trials so keep that in mind

My tyre was 800g dead over my 1000g creepy tyre mounted with no effort or tools with the side walls feeling abit plasicy and thin compared to the creepy which hasn't the thickest ones itself.

Tread is shallower and far sparser but felt grippy.

Bounce felt fine but even I could feel the thinner sidewalls as the tyre felt less stable and at my normal pressure I got more foldover.

For me the issue that killed it for me was no matter what the pressure it was so round in profile that it tramlined on bumps and side slopes just riding round the corner to the industrial estate I ride in was a chore with lots of effort to keep the uni straight (even on the flat it was an issue).

I am now back on my creepy which was like putting on your old worn favourite shoes

this maybe a perfect tyre for bike trials or I may suck (I do lol) but that was my experience.

I really liked this tyre and felt the only downside is the minimal tread and the round profile. I didnt have any issues riding it. I changed back to monty eagleclaw because atm i want to improve my overall trials and it feels safer doing tech lines with the square shape. I still might use the race in the future though. It definately gave an extra boost for sidehops and gaps.

Glad I am not the only one to find it a bit round, had no issue with jumping it etc it just rode really badly and required to much correction to keep it straight.

Went out just now for a bit of night trials and it felt so good having my old slippers on

I just got one today. The round profile is perfect for me. Part of the reason I cut the knobs off my try-all is because I had worn the middle down and made the damn thing too square.

It turns really easily, which is nice for the freestyle and flatland stuff I practice. I like the bounce. It's actually bouncier than my try-all sticky was. The side walls are thinner, but I'm light, so this hasn't been a problem for me so far.

I like it. It's definitely an upgrade.

I persevered with it and find it fine now, the weight difference is very noticeable
