Chainlove: Maxxis Advantage 2.4 Foldable
- Thread starter stoney
- Start date
No one here will want them - they don't come in the 29er size =>
i´ve noticed the price for maxxis tires in the US with horror.
Peru street prices:
Maxxis Minion/High Roller 2.5 Supertacky = $17
Maxxis Minion/High Roller 2.5 3C= $28
while everything bike-related is usually much cheaper up north, why are the tires so expensive in the US???

just saw it, i'm tempted by it, but i run the smaller sizes. might be worth giving the larger sizes a shot. i do love these tires.
paypal account had some spares funds, so i have 2 new tires on the way.
supply and demand.
Kind of like how you can get Oakley sunglasses for $10 some places.
you want oakee sungrass!?!?!?
those are obvious fakes.
the maxxis tires am talking about are the real deal. the foldable advantage goes for $20.
Sell me two for $45 and buy yourself something nice.
You guys running these tubeless or tubed?
As documented.
Yes, you were right. Happy?
Right about what?
Same tire, but 2.1" UST are on there for the next 10 min
Just bought 3. Two for Wifey's bike and one for my DJ's rear tire
Dang... only in 70a dur
i'm pretty sure that's all its offered in.
and i still can't bring myself to spend more for a UST tire than a non-ust tire.
Cheaper than anything else I can find non-ust, so I'll take it
Saw some Wetscreams for 30-something last night

who uses single-ply tires??
do people really pedal bicycles???????

After what I saw at the FTF XC race I'll never run Maxxis again. I counted dozens of flats up there...90% Maxxis. I love their tread patterns but their performance in the Ozarks was absurd.
like i said before, user error. buncha muppets that don't know how to run proper PSI's
I had some Ignitors and never really got along with them. These advantages truly better? My nevegals are starting to irritate me...
minions are my favorite tire ever, and i'm very pleased with them.
In almost 5 years I never had a flat on a Maxxis until I burped a UST because my pressure was too low. I've since had a few as I re-learn pressures, but that's user error. I've had more issues with Kenda, Conti, and Schwalbe than anything else.
I concur. For the most part, everyone I know runs Maxxis and we never have issues...
of course, I'll never run tubes again either....
granted, maxxis single plys are known to be thinner than others, but its nothing a few extra psi can't fix.
just got one for the rear on my xc/mini DH bike and am pretty darned impressed by it. goes well with a high roller front for sure.
I'm not sold on that idea, maybe some, but not all. I just don't think that MAXXIS tires are as good for being run tubeless as some others. Sure you can run high pressure, 35+, but then you lose half the benefit of going tubeless IMO.
I did that race with 27 PSI in my AKAs, no issues. And that's a 650 gram 29er tire.

part of racing is also being prepared for trail conditions. if you're racing on sharp point shale, you're gonna need a few extra psi regardless of the name on the side of the tire.
ps on my trail bike, i have to run at least 35 psi, i'm a pretty big guy (just over 200lbs with gear) and anything gives me a ton of rolling resistance
Tubed or tubeless I have always run minimum 32psi for DH and higher for trail or XC. User error.
My point was that I ran 27 PSI... which, for me, was no extra pressure and I was riding on the same stuff that killed all those Ignotors, Ikons and Crossmarks.
That's the boat I'm in....however, being a bigger guy (240lbs), the higher pressures needed to run single-ply tires without constantly flatting translates to sidewalls more prone to slicing/tearing. It's a fine line.
That and I swear Maxxis' eXCeption casing uses latex condoms as sidewall material.
so you're assuming that everyone else didn't add extra pressure?
How many of those guys are roadies first? Didn't you used to race DH at one point?
*nevermind, I was thinking of TJ

if he raced dh the way he races xc no wonder he quit
here, i'll go race a muddy trail with semi slicks.
Not assuming anything... wether they did or not, there were still Maxxis tires failing left and right.so you're assuming that everyone else didn't add extra pressure?

Maybe you only saw them because you were just catching up to the people on Maxxis tires? God only knows what was going on behind you.
