Be forewarned though - my 6006 rear only lasted 2000km before it was almost completely smooth in the center. That was after doing a SaddleSore 1600k ride though, with front/rear pressures of 30/34psi. I don't really know how long it will last running lower pressures.Paper said:You told me exactly what I wanted to hear, though.. 95% of my riding is pavement and gravel.. That last 5% will still be WAY better than the Anakees.. :lol:
Just a ride. I had been planning to run in the Alberta 2000 Endurance Rally again this year, but it was cancelled due to lack of entries, so I decided to just go for another couple IBA certs instead. I had planned to do a SS1600, grab a couple hours sleep, then continue riding to get enough mileage for a BB2500k as well, but I cancelled the extra mileage after looking at how worn down my back tire was getting after the first 1000km. It probably would have lasted the extra mileage, but I just didn't want to risk it.Paper said:Did you do your SS1000 as part of a LD rally, or just as a ride?
Thanx for the input. Sheesh, I am thinking just take the wheel off and take it to the stealer. NAH, What the heck, I'll give it another shot. If all does not go well, I think the stealer told me it would be up to 50 bucks to change it so.. Heck I will just buy one of those tire changers from harbor freight or ebay. FWIW, i really like the looks of the Maxxis, and I don't do anything super technical on the trail anyway, so I appreciate all of your opinions of the tire. My Dunlop up front is still looking pretty good.theotherbigjoe said:ZeZe,
It's a tough tire to put on... and twice as bad to get off. The bead really sticks good.
Hmmmmmmm, good idea........ He did say "UP TO", and that is taking the tire off the bike. So, I am sure it woulda been cheaper, but, really I might actually do that tomorrow, just down the street from where I work is a tire shop...Paper said:$50!!! :shock:
Take it to a regular car tire shop. They'll charge you $5..
