You still seem to see them around occasionally though.

If I get around to it on the week end I'll post a pic of the partly worn Minion DHF 42a I use on the front of my XC bike so you can see how they start to break apart.

Ah, yes - thanks. I ahve owned one of each. Surprisingly the Slow Reezay wore slower than the Super Tacky!!!

I recently put a Kenda Small Block 8 on the front of my dually, which I really now only ride at 24 hr and other style events on reasonably well fromed and smooth tracks.

Run the Larsen TT at the rear and really liked that, onto my third now.

The Kenda is great for enduro style events that are not too technical, reasonably hard packed and you want a fast rolling tyre. Rode the Scott last year and Mont with this and at this combo is great on that flowing Canberra single track.

Also have the Maxxis High Roller in the 2.35 for when I want(ed) to do technical rocky stuff and they grip awesomely but you do notice the difference in both rolling resistance and weight on the wheel.

Not sure I ride fast enough to really test tyres to their limits but hate that feeling a the front washing out and the small Block 8 grips very well for a non aggressive tyre.

Gotta get the MTB out again soon.

Anyone tried the Ikon Exo at all ?
