mrJohan Posted March 30, 2020 Share Hi. What setup do you have for xc/trail? Whith Ardent 2.25skinwall infront Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zawillow Posted March 30, 2020 Share I run Ardent Race 2.35 up-front and the Aspen 2.25 at the back. I'm very happy, rolls nicely, but do sometimes wish I had a bit more grip on the trails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrJohan Posted March 30, 2020 Share How many km you have on your aspen? How many mm are your rims? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ct_rider Posted March 30, 2020 Share Ikon rear and Aspen front. 21mm internals is narrow and will give the lightbulb effect with wider 2.35 tyres, which will be more prone to lateral movement of the tyre on corners. look at the Stans website, they have a simple explanation of tyre width v internal rim width.

mrJohan Posted March 30, 2020 Share I think i will go with Ardent skinwall 2.25 front and Vittoria Barzo cape edition 2.25 at the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigToe Posted March 30, 2020 Share Hi. What setup do you have for xc/trail? Whith Ardent 2.25skinwall infrontI run Ikon at the back 2.2 and Ardent up front 2.3 lots of grip and braking grip is very good. The tyre doesn't let go easily. Back in the day I ran an ikon and nobby nic 2.3 upfront also a great combo. Given your internal width I would run a 2.1 at the back and a 2.3 upfront and maybe run them a touch harder to compensate for the lightbulb effect.

Me rida my bicycle Posted March 30, 2020 Share Wou would say Ikon rear or Ardent same as the front they do roll great and grip is best out of the lot you mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no calves Posted March 30, 2020 Share I have ridden Ikon front and rear, Ikon rear and ardent front and ardent front and rear IMO go ikon rear and ardent race front. You will use 2 to 3 ikons before you wear out your front ardent tire. STAY AWAY from skinwall. Besides the coolness factor they tend to go "dry" after a while and then sidewall cuts is the norm from there on. DM me and i will send you a few pictures.

babse Posted March 30, 2020 Share Skinwall looks kiff for the first 3 weeks before it starts to look like **** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
