Well, it’s certainly slower and heavier than the Rocket Ron. What bike / riding? If mostly dry conditions xc then look elsewhere for a rear tyre.Thread dig, trying to find a 26” tyre, anyone used a Hans Dampf on the rear. Is it super slow? Currently have a Rocket Ron on the rear has been good and fast rolling but nowhere has stock currently.
Hmmm...thought so, might have to make some stock alerts and keep the current tyre going. Riding a Mojo SLR. Trails mix of rolling up and down, some tech/rocks etc but I like the faster rolling rear as lots of climbing on each loop I do.Well, it’s certainly slower and heavier than the Rocket Ron.

The Ikon mentioned below would be mint. I've run a HD on the back before and it was great for intended us (Enduro Race). I wouldn't run one on the back unless I was riding a lot of "full on" stuff.Thread dig, trying to find a 26” tyre, anyone used a Hans Dampf on the rear. Is it super slow?

Some TR Maxxis 26 back in stock at TBE if that’s of any interest.Thread dig, trying to find a 26” tyre, anyone used a Hans Dampf on the rear. Is it super slow? Currently have a Rocket Ron on the rear has been good and fast rolling but nowhere has stock currently.
Soon he'll be jumping down them and it will be 2 tyres in 2 days, welcome to the clubthe boy has just learnt he can ride down stairs....but two tubes in two days with snakebites is wearing thin.

The Super Gravity Hans Dampf BikeBug is selling is a strong tyre. I also used a HR2 and Hans Dampf when I lived in WA and The Camel Farm was my regular stomping ground. Also, he probably needs to pump the tyres up when using them in an urban setting. I commuted for over three months and hit two large stair sets every morning on my way to work. I run Holy Rollers in 2.4/2.25" at 60/65psi for that bike. Those tyres have also gone around the Camel Farm multiple times on my geared P3 in both summer and winter...On the subject of flatting and 26 tyres, the boy has just learnt he can ride down stairs....
I haven't gone tubeless yet as I'm waiting for him to wear the old ignitor out, but two tubes in two days with snakebites is wearing thin.
Bike is a 26 hardtail, rims are old Crossmax SL so easy tubeless but narrow. Currently got a high roller 2 on the front. He's mainly riding round the streets with his mates but when we go off road it's WA pea gravel loose over hard in the main
Is there a magical unicorn tyre suitable for a rear in this application?
Yep. Tubeless, strong casing and more air needed for that job. Or at least proper DH tube. Stairs will kill tubes in a second if not well inflated.My boy is fond of jumping down and also trying to smash his way up stairs..
35 psi in the rear solved the snake bite problems.. After destroying 2 tyres..
The Camel farm is where we normally ride. Is the HD this one?The Super Gravity Hans Dampf BikeBug is selling is a strong tyre. I also used a HR2 and Hans Dampf when I lived in WA and The Camel Farm was my regular stomping ground.
Sssh. Don’t tell people. Might just grab one as cheap and put old HD to rear and run fresh one up front.The Camel farm is where we normally ride. Is the HD this one?
At that price I think it's a better deal than DH tubes.Schwalbe Addix Hans Dampf Performance Folding Tyre
