You there yesterday? What time? I was around those parts in the morning.Yes but hard to go just of the ride yesterday.
I've run one on the back for over 1000 KMs and it's lasted well and still heaps of tread left. Good grip, not the fastest rolling tyre but not the slowest. It's very similar to a Maxxis HR2. They're a good buy on chainreaction at the moment. I've got one of them and a Citius sitting in the cart at the moment, just debating weather to pull the trigger....How are you finding the Onza Ibex tyres just picked up a couple on sale from CRC?
@Litenbror did very well around the Northern Beaches rockfest that is Bantry Bay and Manly Dam, considering his new bike was set up for DH, so couldn't get the easiest two gears!Took the new bike for a spin around Serrata and Mainly dam with @T-Rex as guide. Some great trails and a good test for the new Crafty.

It's basically a DHR2 but with better rubber and quality control. The Onza rubber has graphene in it, but they don't talk it up as much as Vittoria. I've also never had a Onza with a buckle in it, which seems to be super common with Maxxis.How are you finding the Onza Ibex tyres just picked up a couple on sale from CRC?
Nice! I did a not so quick lunch ride.Went for a quick pedal after work to soak up the sunshine.

I checked mine when I installed it today and had the slightest of wobble, like miniscule!It's basically a DHR2 but with better rubber and quality control.

Its kind of the polar opposite of the Pole. Very stiff and fidgety/nimble requires you to really be on tye ball. It pedal bobs a lot like a horst link, but because it's got the beefy dual linkage plates it's quite stiff.How’d the canfield go?
The rear minion is buckled. I didn't really notice on tye dirt but it was really annoying on the road.Are the tyres buckled?
No thats dried out lube that they put on the tyre molds to get the rubber out of the mold. Graphene is tiny little flakes of graphite which I doubt you would be able to see with the naked eye.It's the Graphene the white powdery stuff that's on the outside as well. It's the first tyre I've installed that's had a powdery, flaky substance on the outside...
How do they size up compared to other brands?It's basically a DHR2 but with better rubber and quality control. The Onza rubber has graphene in it, but they don't talk it up as much as Vittoria. I've also never had a Onza with a buckle in it, which seems to be super common with Maxxis.

The 2.25 Ibex I have is maybe a smidge under a Maxxis 2.4. And the 2.4 Ibex I installed today, I'll compare with the 2.4 HR2 I've got on another wheel at home, when I get there.How do they size up compared to other brands?
