For the record I've had the mountain kings for over a year and while in 2.2 they aren't as confidence inspiring as ... well just about anything in 2.5 which is what I had previously, for their size and weight they are great tires.

TBH i just wanted to step away from 6 years of using nothing but Maxxis.

 

[Purt]

And they just so happened to have gold on them .

So nice!

I'm the same, I just put the Conti Der Kaiser tyres on my DH bike. I can't wait to give them a try.

WOW! Incredible bike and that Yumeya chain...Wicked! You've done a really good job on it. Photos are ace as well haha.

 

[Tomas]

Only thing left to do is a new pair of bars. Probably the new Raceface sixc cut to 700 when they are released.

 

[lobstar]

[Tomas]

I see a trend here! I've done the same thing: Just fitted some Nokians.


As I said in the XC thread, bike looks awesome.
