i'm heading to portland next week and i will be riding post canyon, blackrock, and a few other trails. i'm running a schwalbe big betty in the front and a bontrager big earl in the back. i'm considering moving the betty to the back and running a maxxis advantage on the front. anyone care to comment on this tire selection? i just have these three tires, so don't tell me about other tires i should get, as i won't have time to buy new ones.

should i keep the current setup, or adjust? will the singleply advantage be ok on those trails? i've heard they are buff trails and thin-sidewall flats should not be an issue.

thanks

Don't really know the first thing about any of those tires. With that in mind, I'd run the wider/fatter tire up front and the narrower/quicker tire in the rear. Hope that helps!

The Advantages work well.

good to know. i've got the advantage on the front and the schwalbe on the back. i'll keep it that way in the case unless somebody has massive reasons to sway me.

Also works good on my Dogs to keep the Fleas down

you can run slicks and it dont make no diff, nobody gets traction at post this time of year, ball bearing dust

well, i'm here and the advantage works well in the front. i had it at post, blackrock, and brown's camp/uni falls. the schwalbe rear is doing quite well. i like it here. you guys have real dirt. not just the sand we have in socal.
