    Good guess! You take the vote number and divide it by the % to find the sample size. So for example, at the time I did my math Schwalbe had 13 votes and was showing 34.2%..

    13/0.342=38

    Or you could manually list out all the voters and take away their multiple votes but that's the long way.

    Dividing by respondents doesn't give you the percentage of tires that are Maxxis, it gives you the percentage of people that have Maxxis tires on at least one of their bikes. It validates my initial claim, but not exactly. My initial claim was that at least 50% of the tires on IMTBers' mountain bikes were Maxxis. The survey shows percentage of people who own a particular brand on one of their bikes. Close enough, I guess.

    Oh well, at least somebody explained how the formula arrived at the %. Thank you @Cornholio. I can now go about my normal day and evening without this huge sense of dread and anxiety that the math doesn't work. Phew!

    I like tires too.. I agree that the poll results don't paint the picture and was just doing some math.

    My main bike is all Maxxis these days. I just took my Minion DHFs off and put a Minion SS on the rear and a Tomahawk on the front.

    My HT has a Schwalbe Nobby Nic F and Continental Race King R

    after watching that I see the problem I had with my Ikon rear tire..I used my brakes. o_O

    And really, I have the same RM bike and it doesn't ride like that! Maybe a warranty replacement is in order.
    Note to self; Call Rocky Mountain

    I'm late to the party, but the reason for the % diff seemed obvious given that you can cast more than one vote.

    I've been watching since I saw the Ikon+ specced on the new Santa Cruz models last fall, but I haven't seen it available for sale yet. It looks to be a lot lighter (770 versus 1000) than the Trailblazer 2.8s I have, and I'd love to give one a try.

    Nope - this is the plus version with 110mm wide front, 148mm rear and 2.8" tires. THAT's why he's faster downhill than you.

    Haha...I thought the + meant "and".

    OK, OK. Note to self; buy that bike and the + tires.
    Thanks for clearing that up, I'll send you the invoice for the new toy....

    I run Kenda Nevegal DTC on the front of both my bikes; Bontrager XR4 Team Issue rear. Wife's Rumblefish has Bontrager XR3 because they were stock. Next set will be XR4 on the 29er.
