Simple question here.

Who has used Intense Micro Knobbies for park? I ride 26 in the park, a LOT. I have always been extremely nervous of any kind of knobs in the park.. so has anyone had a lot of experience with these tires in both concrete and wooden parks?

Run at high PSI with Microknobbies...... i was running at 55PSI this past weekend and the tire came off the rim... luckily my tube did not exploded & my wife was around to bring me my pump and i pumped it to 60 PSI

i will take my Shwabble Tabletops for a spin this weekend... but i love the Micro Knobbies!

That new design does look alot better. I always run my tires at 70-75 ish psi. Way faster at the park and no worries about pinch flats.

I just put Small Block 8s on my 24, really like the small knob tires.
I rode some smallblock 8s and they slid out on me in the bowl at my park. I usually run around 80psi in my tires. But my holy rollers are almost done for, so I am looking for something a bit lighter.

Truth, do you ride park with yours?

I've seen this tire blow off the rim firsthand on dirt jumps. They seem to be made pretty cheaply and possibly aren't sized perfectly to fit the rim. Not sure how many times the design or manufacturing has been updated - maybe the problem has been fixed.

I don't know why you would want knobs for riding full-time park or street. Knobs provide less grip on smooth surfaces.

Weight. Personally, I'd love to have a slick park tire that weighed less than 600g. I would LOVE if they took some time to redesign the holy rollers to be lighter. Plus, I do ride dirt about 1/3 of the time. So this tire was looking perfect, just wanted to make sure other people haven't had them slip out or anything. I am running DT rims so I am not worried about blowouts.

erry weekend! If you are a pretty light guy and you are smooth at the park, which I think you are from your vids, you will be fine. They rock for super slippery wood and metal ramps. I have never blown one off the tire, I run atomlab hoops and I weigh 140-150. I think you will love them. But if you get them, ride them on the pavement and do hard turns for the first day to get them nice and worn in.

Try the KHE Mac`s. I went from Holy Rollers (Heavy) to Macs (Light) and they rock on concrete.
I ran one of these for a while in the rear and it was noticeably lighter than the tioga fs100 that I ran before. they also roll really fast and grip exceptionally well too, just expensive.

I'm running a block 8 in the front and it has treated me well at all parks I've ridden. The schwalbe's are super nice as well though, I've run those too and would recommend them.
