Red face Maxxis CC vs. Try All

Ok before you guys ream me out for not using the search function i did...coulden't find a thread with what i wanted...that being said, i have the qu ax cross with the [i just found this out] isis hub. So i'm not getting the nimbus i was planing on getting. NOW, im getting a cf base, new seatpost, moment cranks, new pedals AND, a new tire, So what i wanted to know which of these [cc/tryall] will give me less clearance from my frame, i also wanted to know if the tryall is usable for street, apperently its amazing for natural trials but no one has reviewed it as a street tire...my CC is pretty well bald right now...also has anyone review the koxx biscut pedals or the pit fighter seatpost?

Hmmm well i havent tried a Tryall but the Maxxis is a very grippy tire as you know....and Ive heard its pretty grippy as well....Do something new and go for the Tryall and then if you ever want to do some intense street/flat you could shave the Tryall


Hope that helped

Isaac

Forget the PitFighter. Better save up some money and get the quax alu seatpost with gusset. Its very strong and very light.
And the PitFighter wont fit your frame...

From the Bisquit... i heard they will break very easy.. but i dont have any further information. Could be all wrong, i dont know.

For the tirequestion:
I had a TryAll before my Maxxis before my EagleClaw.

And everytime it feeled like an upgrade. I like my EagleClaw most... but its mostly personal preference.

keep in mind that people here mostly ride CC's and people are stupid and will vote even if they havent tried both.

I went from a tryall to a CC, and i prefer the grip on the CC, but the sidewalls are so much nicer on the tryall. I just got an echo 08, but i think i'm gonna back to my try-all.

Dont get the pit fighter as marco said, the qu-ax alu with the gusset is an awesome post.

i dont get what the point is of shaving a tire...seems to me you would lose weight, but you would also lose grip, also i hope people are taking into consideration my clearance question...
