Knobby all the way. absolutely and if i buy a house in the mountains for Bob in the summer, i wouldn't even look at a street tire for the lynx. but literally my pastures are pavement hard. that's why this land is only good for development. only reasons cows are here is because all 325 acres real estate tax is only $1500, without cows and zoned, millions. but still less dangerous than falling on pavement. an old golf course, and they have closed two within 5 miles of me recently, would be perfect euc training facilities. anyway, i wouldn't have any problem with that michelin in the pasture, i've done it on the v13, nbd. but on pavement, it should be a rocket ship or i want my money back.

It's a pedal softness/hardness system like you can find on Inmotion wheels.

novazeus Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) see, there's no trails like this within a hundred miles of me. this is what a knobby is made for, the rest of the time, just annoying road noise. and i can tell by the way the tire is compressing, he's running it at 75% of max pressure, which is fine for his weight and he's not on pavement. mountain roads.

I was used to power, the rocket was pure torque. I became a torque junkie after this. It really does launch like a rocket. Of course it was limited in corners - a 240 wide tire on the rear adds to that. The first corner I came to, the bike wouldn't lean at all. I was expecting it to tip in like all other bikes I'd ridden. I ended up hanging off the side for most corners to maximise clearance. On straights, I could see cars about 1km ahead with nothing in between; I opened it up and it reminded me of hyperspace on those old arcade games. We (my partner was on the back) were up the first car's backside in a nano second. I even enjoyed just pootling around the burbs. Incredibly conscious of slow manouvering and parking - no reverse gear and that thing weighs a ton. We both loved it, but my logic kicked in. I would have lost my licence quickly. The twist grip was just so addictive. This is a bike that really needs good roads, good roads = police presence and lots of other drivers. I ended up getting a ktm supermotard 990 - I could ride as fast as I like on back roads; minimal traffic and no police.

I'm a knobby fan, I use knobby tires on all my wheels, the K262 on the Sherman S which has a pretty wide rim feels good IMO. 1 hour ago, fbhb said: That would be what we'd All expect historically, for it to be a Kenda 262, as you stated in your post above.

Agreed, and the CST186 is bloody awful, at least on the EX30. Never known a tyre tramline so badly bar the Z10. Fitted a 262 and all was good in the world again. Night and day difference despite how incredibly close they are in terms of appearance. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, I do find it strange how something can be so polarizing. I've certainly heard more people moan about the CST than the Kenda though, irrespective of EUC. One mans poison I guess. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CST186 is actually not as bad on the wider C40 rim, but the kenda still has a better profile due to the spacing between the last row of knobs. k262 on the C40 rim I would imagine makes it way too stable and you lose a ton of nimbleness though. As for the Lynx, they should throw on whatever tire. Almost all stock tires should just be rideable as most enthusiasts change out the tire to something they prefer anyways. A decent knobby or hybrid tire would suit most riders that arent picky about tires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As did the guy I bought the wheel from. He couldn't be bothered to change it and had simply had enough of the handling (he came from a Sherman OG btw). 8 minutes ago, Cobaltsaber said: k262 on the C40 rim I would imagine makes it way too stable and you lose a ton of nimbleness though. Nope, not IMO. Not way too stable, just stable, as it should be. And no less nimble than a Sherman, taking into account the extra pedal height and weight of the EX. And it now goes where you point it, unlike like the CST which tramlined so bad it just wanted to go wherever it felt, requiring constant rider inputs and several times scared the life out of me when it caught on certain ridges in the asphalt. Incredibly tiring and frustrating to ride as a result. I lasted 100 miles with it. Went to K262, perfect handling. This is only my experience of course. Btw my riding buddy also ditched the CST186 on his Commander Pro for the K262 and he is also much happier with the handling. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novazeus Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 (edited) speaking of tires, haven't got an answer yet, but if the lynx is coming to the buyer disassembled, i guess changing the tire might not be too bad. hate to have to work on a brand new wheel, but evidently this is one situation where he who has the gold rules, this time it's the seller of their wares dictating. as long as we buy their shit the way they like it, it will never change. jason said they can't import michelin tires into china. maybe diguise it as fetanyl. i'm gonna see if inmotion tells me the same thing tn. what tires do they put on chinese automobiles and trucks? this must be a different china than the one jason is referring to.

THAT tramlined like no tomorrow. When I say its not as bad on the EX30, its nowhere near as bad. Its like 5/10 on the EX30, but on the master its a 2/10 lol If the lynx has a 5/10 ride quality tire, I think most can live with it. They should just throw a hybrid on there to mostly satisfy everyone Edited November 9, 2023 by Cobaltsaber 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, I find many amazon reviews for products that I know are based on ignorance. Many folk just repeat marketing spiel because they actually believe it. Or just jump on board with what they see as popular - we called this the reebok syndrome in the 90's when everyone was wearing those shoes. With tires it's a hard call; I believe it mostly comes down to actual skill level and experience. Also, not many of us can try different tires in a reasonable time frame. Most of us are probably 6mths or a year between tires; by your 3rd different tire you probably can't accurately compare it to the first tire any more. Dudes like wrongway have the skills and the riding time and clock up huge amount of kms quickly (2.5 thousand k per month). This is what I found re mtb and motorcycle tires. I can find the limits of most motorcycle tires with on road cornering so I feel I can comment on my feedback re those. With mtb and euc I'm mediocre - my skill is the thing that could make the most improvement. With mtb and euc I tend to rely on feedback / reviews from others; preferably from those with experience and skill Edited November 10, 2023 by Uras 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
