But ...may I know why you want a 2.3 tyre?
Are u riding a downhill/am bike?
What type of tyre you re looking for? high rolling resistance ....you want it to grip more when you corner baring
*
I using stock Raleigh Diablo Pro only blush.gif Because i duwan use my 2.5 tyre on the road liaw, later people say i lansi whistling.gif Corner baring i sked icon_question.gif

QUOTE(kaizer @ Apr 5 2012, 11:23 AM)
If one is used to Nevegals... Any other tires will be much less rolling resistant. LOL
*
Indeed.

QUOTE(Cyphereza @ Apr 5 2012, 11:44 AM)
Try Maxxis High Rollers, a lot of the forumers using this tire. Price I dunno. smile.gif
*
High Rollers soft or hard rubber?
Tacky? Any one use MHR and nevegals can give some comment? biggrin.gif My onroad/offroad makes my tires botak so fast.

aiyo... your wallet how big? 1 tyre only also wan check price like that...  boon foo will tiao you kau kau...
just la buy from any shop.. not like gonna different allot for a piece of rubber  icon_rolleyes.gif

My wallet very big, enough to collect alot of cards and receipts. icon_rolleyes.gif

The point is not about such minor price. But its about what you pay for. Why must i pay more when i have the choice to get something of equivalence at a cheaper price. If all also support such high price then how we as consumers benefit from it. smile.gif

Different rm10-20 is still money la. Though i wouldnt mind to pay extra if good service, but rarely see good service around unless you look like guai lou or uncle who parked their merc or bmw in front of hte bike shop. tongue.gif

wokay... looks like u missed the point to where i quote..
how to get good service like that... big wallet not king bro.

btw, MHR, nevegal, maxis advatage.... or those XC tires with normal compound... will last u on road...
any other aggressive off-road tyres will be just bad on the road...  you will get bodoh on slapping the tarmac rather than lansi doing corner baring

anyway.. best keep 2 set of tires for specific use.. otherwise compromise is needed for ur intend
*
Of course big wallet not king dude, big deep bank account is. thumbup.gif

Well it can be bodoh to others but i couldnt care less what they think. 2 sets of tires is the best way to go but that would incur extra costs. Im poorfag. Cannot buy rubber all the time. Rubber price increase everyday. I need to start planting some rubber tree. laugh.gif

QUOTE(malleus @ Apr 5 2012, 02:30 PM)
Doesn't the stock Diablo Pro come with 2.1?

And 2.3 is still kinda big for road use
*
I traded in the 2.1 for 2.5, wanted to try out downhill blush.gif Big, but smaller than 2.5. Not that i mind the size of it, i just want to try out different sizes. wink.gif

Maxxis HR and Minions is not true to size. they run a tad smaller. A 2.5Minion will be like Nevegal 2.3 lidat.

No experience on the HR, but Minion's a beast's claws. I'm running super tacky upfront though.

IMHO, compromises on grip coz you wanna do both urban and MTB is not worth it. 2 sets of tires is minimum. 2 sets of wheels if you're serious.

Like the chinese saying... Can afford to buy cow, kenot afford to buy cow string? I'm sure you don't wanna put a scratch/dent on your SC Nomad frame when the tires slips during your trail rides, rite?
*
Smaller than its stated size? I see, then i need to have a look at it first. Later too small. rclxub.gif


QUOTE(malleus @ Apr 5 2012, 03:00 PM)
Personally I think that 2.1s will be the biggest that'll be comfortable for road use.

If you're wanting to use the same bike for everything like I do, you'll definitely need to have 2 sets of tires. Besides, using knobby tires for road will really wear them down quick too. I'll rather spend money on cheaper slick tires for road use than have to wear down my more expensive knobbies on the road.

2.1 macam not enough grip? tongue.gif My raleigh no handling thats why need big surface contact. blush.gif

QUOTE(majorsinbad @ Apr 5 2012, 03:09 PM)
Actually ...for most of what you want to know ...you can get from this book ...even clarification on Tyres ...may not be up to date ...but its not too out dated ...

I got mine from Kino ...good read ...
*
How much is this book?

QUOTE(timothyy @ Apr 5 2012, 03:30 PM)

This kinda thing ah... just go shop and buy.
If want, Nevegal RM130 and Highrollers RM100.
U think ur wallet got petpet smell ah?
RM100 thing... u telanjang run around the shop also no ppl open for u.
*
Now at least i have an idea of what the price range is. smile.gif Aiyaa rm100 thing but you try fit in 5k inside your wallet open for them to see, terus be nice introduce you stuff for you to buy. whistling.gif

QUOTE(Broadica @ Apr 5 2012, 04:22 PM)
thats just plain bodoh

if you want to save... ever more reason to get 2 set of tyres.. they last longer and safer...save more money long term
a set of off road tyres can last for at least a year or longer depend how often you ride... mine 2 years still gooding

doing road + off road... u wear them prematurely and compromised on grips both on road and off road.. thats just plain stupid
poor man pay twice...
*
Guess i didnt explain properly. unsure.gif I go on road halfway masuk kelapa sawit plantation, where to find station to change tires? laugh.gif Even if urban i still jump, go through any patch of non tar surface i can find. If use 100% slicks for on road use, confirm cannot survive sweat.gif

Why do you need sound? Haiz.

Mavic got no sound la. Got sound also very humble type.
I am using DT... got a bit of sound.
Mau bising one... go for Chris King or Hope or i9.
Suma bising macam hantu.

Based on physic theory... the louder the sound, the more resistant it got. The more resistant it got, the more energy you require to pedal.
As simple as that.

Wheelsets are very much depending on budget and availability. In Malaysia, wheelset choice is limited.

For me, I still choose the color I like instead of which is better. He! He! He!

Colour kasi letak LED bling bling. Fuh, TRON bike.
