    Interesting how our experiences differ. BTW, Cyclery USA rebuild my Bontrager rear wheel on the SquiggleBug with the updated Line Pro rim and new spokes, but Jim lost my SE4 tire, which had maybe 30% tread life remaining, so he’s gonna replace it with a Maxxis. Woohoo! I didn’t ask which Maxxis he’ll put on there, but he said, “of similar or better quality.” I’m not worried since I flogged the SE4 that was on there and won’t miss it much.
    I do miss the prior iteration of the XR4/SE4 tread…the one that is on my hardtail and that @scan is rocking on his Scott. The current SE4 tread is not commensurate with the robustness of the tire casing because the knobs lean towards XC-type riding where slopes greater than 20* render the braking traction inadequate.

    I like Schwalbe. Their racing Ray / racing Ralph combo are fast XC tires that provide great grip! The tread wears down pretty quick, but on average last a year. All Schwalbe and Maxxis tires can be purchased for about half price from Germany. If you're Not doing that, you missed the boat!

    You nerds:cautious:
    I think I’ve mentioned that I disliked that rear NN for its poor cornering. I never made the connection that Mr Nuggets stated, but it makes sense. Good riddance NN:poop:
    Carry on :D

    I tried a Nobby Nic once… it was $8 at one of those sporting goods stores that went out of business. All the good stuff was gone, and I felt bad for the tire sitting there all alone on the shelf. It lasted 2 or 3 rides and died a horrible death on the scree of Trabuco Trail. :cry: My Vee Rubber tire was arguably better at the same price. :p

    I did have really good luck with the 2.35 Racing Ralph as a front. It even made a trip through Palm Canyon, as well as my first 20 or 30 trips down Motorway. The two I had were free, though… I’ve never felt the urge to pony up for them after that.
