uhhhhhh..... you ride 26in wheelz. According to the "industry" you are irrelevant.

 

[kidwoo]

Not gonna lie.......that has a lot to do with it.

 

[HAB]

They seems to suck donkey dick on anything stans though......like dangerously flying off the rim.

I can confirm this.

They work well on Enves.

Since when to you give a fvck about the derp-brigade?
Yous goin soft on us Woo?

 

[kidwoo]

You should see all the stuff that gets edited out of what I originally write.

I just don't really know if most people will be able to separate the frame from the wheels used. If I say ANYTHING bad about the suspension (or good), half the retarts reading it will be saying 'that's cuz you got the rong weelz bro!'

You want to read one? I'll do it if so.

 

[marshalolson]

Not to mention there are no new tires for you to ride

 

[mykel]

26er burn

Glad I have a shed of 26" tires....

uh... wait - damn...to bad most are quite worn, or just suck teh donkey ballz.

 

[kidwoo]

Not to mention there are no new tires for you to ride

The only one that really upsets me is the bontrager G5->X5 trail version.

Between minions and butchers I think I'm good. That G5 is really the only big standout. The shitty part is that they even have 26" molds already made for the dh ones.

 

[kidwoo]

also....

 

[mykel]

a taste for grunge?

 

[jstuhlman]

just write the damn review

 

[kidwoo]

tastes like foot

 

[marshalolson]

also....

26" slaughter??

 

[jstuhlman]

filet of sole?

 

[slyfink]

Is that Ned Flanders eating the shoe?!

 

[kidwoo]

You betcha good buddy!

Yes please. http://www.pinkbike.com/news/spotted-prototype-maxxis-minion-semi-slick-tire-2015.html

Thank god they took good sideknobs from a tire that works well because it doesn't have 'intermediate knobs', made smaller versions and then used them as intermediate knobs.


knobs

 

[MmmBones]

I looks like they increased the distance between the side knobs which would make it shed moar mud.

I agree, but it looks easy to modify

 

[kidwoo]

I looks like they increased the distance between the side knobs which would make it shed moar mud.

And then threw the aforementioned 'unnecessary crap' on there to hold it.

Gah.....cutting tires sucks.

They look pretty good for teh dryzor dirt.

I still wish they'd bring back the HR slick.

 

[dump]

Curious to see how this one rides. Have fond memories of the Bling Bling and the Highroller SS (in hardpack).

 

[kidwoo]

Looks pretty damn good to me. Certainly within 'would hit it without a kiss first'

 

[SylentK]

Where's that "hurry up and take my money" gif?

 

[slyfink]

a Nevegal with no intermediate knobs?

 

[MmmBones]

a Nevegal with no intermediate knobs?

The tire on the left looks like the updated honey badger they displayed at sea otter last year. Who wants to wager they'll be on sharpied Maxxis tires come race day?

 

[kidwoo]

Check out our sick new tire. It breaks loose in corners so you lose speed. These are part of our "film bro" series to help you look cool to 17 year olds.*



*for definitely not racing only

 

[SylentK]

I got a set of the G5s on the 275 trail bike. Works really well on my local trails here where conditions range from dry to icy and everything in between...all on the same trail. The dual ply is nice as it lets me smash rocks with confidence. These will probably be my keystone race tires. I'm very happy with them.

 

[SylentK]

Geeking out on the new Maxxis meat Graves was running in his last race and won. Looks to be 27.5 prototype. Story here.

 

[William42]

Whats the verdict on the WTB breakout tires mr Woo? I know you'll be all about reviewing these since they're 27.5

 

[kidwoo]

They look pretty good for a slopestyle bike.

They're pretty round and smoove looking.

I'm not going to buy one to find out.

 

[kidwoo]

speaking of which.........

The new Bridger 3.0 27.5+ is aimed squarely at the aggressive trail and enduro market,

Heh.......


No it's not.

That tire clearly needs more lugs

 

[kidwoo]

Moar lugz, moar width............ Nothing else really matters any moar.

They need to just start relabeling quad/atv tires and save the money on molds.

So I think we can officially get fatbikes now that they make minions in fatbike sizes/tread:
