WILSONEUC Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) Which option would be the best? Edited February 16 by WILSONEUC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noonewantstobepeterchris Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) I do not have a Lynx. However, I believe the Lynx has a similar use case to the Master as a good wheel for a wide variety of applications. I do a lot of hard carving when I am on the street, and I absolutely love the 244 on my Master. It doesn't terrain track as much as the street tires I have used in the past. I have not taken it off road yet, so I can't say exactly how well it will perform. Edited February 17 by noonewantstobepeterchris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILSONEUC Posted February 19 Author Share Posted February 19 I answered my own question after battling it out with 2 different tire changes with both tires on the LYNX. 241 IS THE BETTER FIT. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaveyZFG Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 241 feels more lively and lighter for me tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peytole Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I installed a 244 tubeless. it was necessary to shave 1mm on each side to avoid friction. The lynx is really more maneuverable, easier to carve, more stable, and much less slippery on wet terrain. I will never return to the kenda! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rawnei Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Seems mixed experiences with the 244, some people had rubbing while some say they didn't have any rubbing at all. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes misaligned knobs, and mostly manufacturing discrepancies sadly, at least the ones I purchased at Revzilla 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way the tire behaves would be a good match for the LYNX. I may try the 244 again at some point after shaving it. 241 feels to nimble for my tastes at higher speed, but with all things will just need more practice. (AND unfortunately it takes me few hundred miles to get comfortable with a wheel and tire lol. Ill report back in the summer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Où avez-vous acheté la version tubeless ? there is no tubeless version. I simply installed tubeless, because I noticed that it had exactly the same structure and finishes as other tubeless tires from the same brand. Shinko doesn't give much information. This tire is very rigid and resistant, and the Lynx rim is designed for tubeless, you simply have to enlarge the hole for the valve. The tire fits perfectly, already 1000kms tested in difficult conditions. No problem if inflated correctly. A friend has the same tire in a larger size, mounted tubeless on a dirtbike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any problems mounting it tubeless? I've been hearing stories of how difficult it is to get the tires to seat tubelessly. I've done motorcycle tires and seated them fine with tire change lubricant and a small electric tire pump. But those are 17inch wheels, not 14 like our euc's.

peytole Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 It was a motocross workshop that installed the tire. They used a high pressure cannon that shoots out a lot of air. The tire slams and settles on the rim beads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o u euc 2 Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Thanks Man. I bought one after I saw your video. The 241 changed the game for me! Super stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standard4130 Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 No issues with rubbing going to a 244 on my Lynx….. Can’t compare to a 241 as I haven’t used both. The 244 is better on the streets than the stock Kenda, especially in turns at higher speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
