Magic Mary + Hans mini review

First ride. Both seem SOLID. I will probably need to play with pressures a bit to get the most out of them. Liked them overall. Had one moment mid corner where the MM seemed a bit vague as I leaned it over. But quickly found the side knobs. Rear HD rolls ok, brakes fine, generally stayed out of the way and I didn’t think about it. Liking the robustness for my local rocky sandstone trails. Looking forward to Derby later this week!

(Still not over the drama of setting them up though. So kinda hoping I don’t like them too much.)

I have until the end of the year to decide - at the moment I'm path riding so I don't need to get anything yet.

It's good to be prepared. Hope they don't bring out any new models or you'll be on rims before you decide

You could probably scratch the Hans Dampf off the front tyre list, that's mainly for rear duties imo.

Magic Mary front?

Magic Mary front?

If there's a bit of moisture.

Have you checked out the E13 tyres? They're like $60 a tyre from dirtworks atm. I've just ordered a few.

Running a Magic Mary Super Trail Soft front. Nearly 1000km on the front. Just won’t wear out! I found it likes lower pressures. Running at 21psi currently. Predictable grip and can really lean it over in corners. Have a Nobby Nic on the rear and grips and rolls well.

That's durable alright! Based on a lot of advice I should be looking at a Super Gravity casing and sadly the Nobby Nic doesn't come in that casing.

Good to know. I’ve got the Gravity casing, and had it at 28 (because I’m used to softer walled tyres, and somewhat heavy/casual with line choice). Will definitely try dropping some psi’s.

Which ones did you order? Any good reviews that made you bite at the deal?

Hans Dampf should do and will roll ok as a rear.

All terrain enduro casing control compound for the rear and the Grappler enduro casing with mopo compound for the front. Not one review, just an average of all that I've read. Cost is a big one for me with mtb tyres ($50-$80 is palatable). I don't mind paying on the higher range for something that works very well but that's not the case with mtb tyres in the same class. For example the cost disparity between these and a DH22 for example is huge ($50 vs $140) and I don't think the Michelin are 3 times better.

I do like new tyre day though so maybe that's it. Nothing like a new tyre regularly.

Just mounted this E13 combo last week. Yet to ride though. Mopo compound feels good.

I'm adding the Pirelli Scorpion Enduro M and R tyres with Hardwall casings to the mix.

 

[Minlak]

Why not

 

[Jabubu]

Why not

Because they're well priced overseas and I've had Pirelli tyres before.

Umm that’s why…. Not why not - ./confused

You forgot to tell bubu and Dirtdad that you are 50kg lighter than them with your 21psi

I ain’t so light these days. Middle Aged Dad bod.

I’ll have you know I’m very scientific about taking advice from the internet! I’ll just drop 2 psi out each run until I crack my rim, then I’ll go up a couple.

Generally people answer with reasons why when faced with a 'why not?'. Why I shouldn't makes more sense, and the answer there is - why not?!

Interesting - A long career in politics awaits you in answering questions with a question therefore technically answering the question but offering no substance what so ever to the answer of the question.
