I'm wondering if a Tioga Factory DH tire will work well in the back on my trail bike. I am wondering if I can find them for less than $20 at price point.

Everybody cared about the long ball of Bonds and McGwire the juicers. Guess people will have to give Ichiro more props for breaking the hits record now....

The wire beads are more heavy than they're worth. The traction on the "rototiller" design is fairly effective but they're not as great a gripper tire as you'd probably want on a trail bike.

I've got a set. They kinda feel like a good trailbike tire on, um, I dunno, steroids, maybe?

The steroids enhanced bodies of players like Bonds, McGwire, Giambi, Sosa, Palmerio, and Pudge make me appreciate players like Ichiro and Griffey that much more.

The 2.3 Blue Dragon is an excellent trail bike tire. Light but durable.

Oh and since the hippy hasnt been around......

Who's Barry Bonds?

Hmmm - they say they are kevlar on price point. I like grippy on climbs, but couldn't care a lot less of how they corner in the back. I don't go fast enough to wash out. As long as they hook up on climbs and braking.

I have no idea who Barry Bonds is, but since there is a pic of a baseball player, I think he must be too.

I will see what I can find for Blue Dragons. Are they about the same volume for a 2.3 Yellow Kiran???

Yes the same size, but much lighter and with a more open tread pattern.
