Does anyone have any actual word on when maxxis will be selling these, chase and company have been on them for at least over a year, and they are being sold in Australia :mumble: . I want a pair! So can someone update me on the status...thanks
Where the F are the Holly Rollers?
- Thread starter manhattanprjkt83
- Start date
Holly Rollers ? - they probably won't release those till Christmas will they?
I was informed that there are production Holey Rollers on some lucky peoples bikes so I would think that they would be here some time this year.
LOL! I guess Holly would be better the Holey????s1ngletrack said:
funny typo.
I think they are on sale now? I saw I guy buy a pair at my LBS yesterday 26" x 3.0" same pattern at least.
The shop manager also runs 'em or something that has the same tread.
EDIT:
My bad, these weren't maxxis tires but had the same reverse style tread pattern.
Ah someone got itDVNT said:
- I just checked the Maxxis site and they don't even mention them - they're coming stock on the Chase 1 - so they should be here soon.

i saw lenosky rollin on some prototype maxxis tires that had an inverted tread design
Speaking of secret Maxxis proto tires, a little bird told us the Wet Scream is available to pro racers in a 2.5 right now. Traction and a big casing in Vermont, anyone?

ooops
Holy Rollers come in 26x2.4", I'm running a pair on my bike right now
Personally, I'd rather them be a narrower, lower profile tyre, like 26"x1.9", a similar width to the BMX tyre. My only gripe is the tread blocks are a bit bigger than what I'd like, so the tyres tend to buzz a bit. That said, it means they have ample grip for loose sand on hardpack.
Something I've noticed is how Maxxis scale their tread pattern. Instead of keeping the small, dense, low profile blocks like on the BMX tyres, and made more of them, they just scaled up the size, so there's the same amount of blocks accross the tyre, but they're bigger and deeper. Makes them not as good for hard surfaces, but I guess it increases their bite in softer stuff.

They are in shops over here too
A friend/bikemate off mine is using them to for a while now on his Banshee Scratch.
They look kind off cool old skool. He uses them in 24x 1.85
