Ride summer in forest with good tread pattern and when fall comes and forest turns into a mud pit, start riding gravel and road with your new slemi slicks ;D
If you get a sidewall puntcher you can always stitch it up with floss and a some superglue to seal the whole if it's tubeless, and for the added extra protection you can always put a spear rubber section inside where you stitch it up.
I've bought some new maxxis tyres and they've come cable tied up to save space and for ease of transportation my question is how long can I store them like this before use thanks
Hello Steve and Chris! Most mtb brands have at least one ebike model to offer, but do you have any idea why would two of the most desirable mtb brands out there like Yeti and Santa Cruz resist to produce a proper emountain bike?? It seems like they are falling behind in this growing mtb segment. Cheers!
It is because of the popular misguided opposition to them, and the complete lack of trail access for ebikes. They couldn't sell enough to offset the cost of R&D. I don't ride an ebike, but I ride a mtb that weighs as much as one, and I can ride it at 15mph on the flats, and stop just as fast as lighter bikes. So, their speed and braking arguments are invalid. The fact that they cause more wear on the trails is offset by the increased number of riders who would maintain them. Finally, an ebike is constrained by its battery capacity, which means it's only good for about four, five hours before it needs charged. That's one really long climb or a few good ones. Even though they can climb faster, it takes more power to do so, which reduces the battery life, and they don't go that much faster on long climbs, if the battery is to last. A person can last much longer if well conditioned. Finally, an ebike is marketed towards those in advanced age, and those with disabilities, or those heavier set riders who just can't climb as well as others. It's a very niche market with a lot of limitations on the bike, and little to no trail access for them. In Idaho, there is no access to non motorized trails without an ada ebike placard stuck to the bike.
I've done 2200km on my ebike so far, front tyre (2.6 Schwalbe Magic Mary) still looks almost as new but rear one (2.6 Schwalbe Hans Dampf) is now quite spent, I'll need to change it soon. Looks like front tyre will last at least 2 cycles of the rear one, maybe even 3
If you wanted to commute to work along roads and gravel through the week, then hit the trails on weekends, would you swap your tyres over before and after weekends, or get a spare pair of wheels?
Ok so I don't have an emtb but I've never replaced the tyres as of yet been 5 years and they are still going strong originally my dad's mtb it's a full sus fs26 Apollo with disc front and v brakes back. The tyres were stock with the bike and has held up. Not much wear / cracks even know I ride it everyday. Only things I've replaced are the cables and soon the brake pads
I just ride on pavement and gravel and I use my tires till they are worn smooth and wear a hole right through. Of course when my tire is really worn I don’t go far from home
ride on hardpack trails, slicks with side knobbys. Technique is the key to get good grip on slick surface (wet roots, rocks etc) Less rolling resistance.... On an ebike, you just sit and pedal and let the tire grip or slip.
I ride minion dhf front and rear all year round. Ebikes are heavy and fast enough to not worry about rolling resistance and they stick like toffee whatever the surface.
Is the new rE-Tyre system (removable knob layer) just marketing hype or a good answer for those like me who use one e-bike for everything (FS 5 TREK) ?
For side cuts, what do you think about that kind of glue and dust rubber to fix it? I’ve seen it in a few videos and looks pretty good. I had a sidecut las t week and I’m waiting for it. I don’t want to get rid of that thre it’s a schwalbe hans dumpf with about 150km. It’s almost new.
Been getting away with OEM "Nobby Nics" for 7 months on my KTM.... but can't fit Eddy Currents on my rims... maybe Magic Mary's but the wild Cairngorms as I head to winter means I need some advice?? Every natural trail has serious off camber roots......
Hi all , Whats the Make/name of the summer tyre @1.28 .?. i could really do with these on the Haibike HT .. Great Vids as always .. :0) ....Jon from Bristol UK
You can't go wrong with continental or scwalbe its a type depends what you ride if its road take semi slick if its gravel or dust take gravel type and as for temperature it doesn't matter on bikes
Well I warned you guys about the Ebike hate on GMBN community on Facebook and said it would get worse . Well it just has . Quite a few are leaving already and I'm thinking of going . You need to moderate that effing place
Keep e-bikes on the road! (where they have always have belonged) ... The trails are busy enough and all older folks need to stay safe/keep your fitness up on a real mtb.
How often do you replace your tyres?
Electric Mountain Bike Network raz na rok
2 Time a year
how do you dispose of your old tyres ?

Doddy told me you could sew them up and they'll be grand
This is suuuper helpful
2.8 eddy current all year round 😎

@@TheDustyShredder legally, but.those laws only work if people.lnow them and follow them
another great video cheers!
Thanks Hamish! 🤘👊
I converted my walmart into an EMTB and yea, it's chewing up my rear tread. I need new tires but it might be awhile cause bills x.x
Hi Steve, Great contribution, do it dude!😊😊😊

Front tyres rather getting too old before they wear off.
@@Leynad778 yeah, when second rear one wears out will probably be best time to change both
@@AleksandarGospic When the rubber is still okay and enough profile, no real reason to change....
@@Leynad778 of course, if you are using emtb regularly you are going to finish the tyre way before rubber becomes bad anyway
If you wanted to commute to work along roads and gravel through the week, then hit the trails on weekends, would you swap your tyres over before and after weekends, or get a spare pair of wheels?
just ride the off road tires they work
I would build my own spare set.
Thank you so much
Ok so I don't have an emtb but I've never replaced the tyres as of yet been 5 years and they are still going strong originally my dad's mtb it's a full sus fs26 Apollo with disc front and v brakes back.

On the same theme, it's also a good a idea to fit valve caps. ;)
Good, Good,, thanks!!
i save worn mtb tires for road rides
Smart I guess
Ye smart

You can repair sidewall cuts, Doddy did a video on it
Thanks for the tips
I ride minion dhf front and rear all year round. Ebikes are heavy and fast enough to not worry about rolling resistance and they stick like toffee whatever the surface.
So true I don't like semi slicks and similar tire thread patterns, all I need is grip, a tough casing and good damping
I just put my back tyre on front it’s like a slick I cut all side rubber off with a pair of scissors ,
What about the sealent beading on outside of Tyre? Through the threads on sides? Normal or too much pressure? Normally run 28-30 at bike park max
Is the new rE-Tyre system (removable knob layer) just marketing hype or a good answer for those like me who use one e-bike for everything (FS 5 TREK) ?
1 sing its too late you break your leg from loss of grip out of nowhere or you fall so hard and cry without breaking your leg

Hi, is this a hardtail bike?
Hi all , Whats the Make/name of the summer tyre @1.28 .?. i could really do with these on the Haibike HT .. Great Vids as always .. :0) ....Jon from Bristol UK
It's a Maxxis Minion SS bud. Okay on the back if you're riding dry summer trails.
My friends rear tire is completely slick...
My Nobby NICs are wearing out on the side walls, you can see part of the carcass. No idea how the side walls wear ?
Use a maxxis dh or dd tyre, problem solved
what brand are the "more dry summer conditions"?
You can't go wrong with continental or scwalbe its a type depends what you ride if its road take semi slick if its gravel or dust take gravel type and as for temperature it doesn't matter on bikes
Me with completely bald rear tyres: na I think it will last another good 4 years
I need new Tires when they are slick
"A NON E-MTB!" A normal MTB ?

I wonder who’s funding GCN...
