Hello,
I was looking at the Maxxis Minion 2.35 folding tire for a Transition Preston FR build I'm doing. The conensus of the forums is that folding tires will pinch flat too often. I like the weight and price of the Minions, but am nervous about flats.
I am a bigger dude, at 6'5" 220lbs. This will be my first suspension bike, and I am not an experienced hucker. I'm looking at riding a lot of AM type stuff as I learn and get more comfortable doing more FR oriented riding. I'm in the San Diego Area.
Anybody have any first hand experience with these tires, that could comment on how these might work out for me?
Thanks.
