Default Kenda Nevegal 2.35 DTC $29.99

Good price from a bad retailler.

I you want to take a chance with these clowns:

Better yet, have Price Point or Jenson price match it.

Pricematch. Jenson is great for that kind of stuff. Stay away from BeyondBikes. (Echo echo echo...)

do any of you guys use this tire for a rear tire? i've run the stick-e versions and they just rolled too slow for my tastes. I'm currently running a 2.35 high roller 60a tire and doesn't grip on turns. the back end of my bike just swings outs and i have to drift the turn.. maybe i need to weight the back tire more?

i run nev sticky (in 2.1) on back (2.35 b-groove front) and they certainly run a bit slower than what i have used in past BUT for me seem to hug/hold tight and willing to take on some rolling resitance for ad'l control. I alos have 2.1 HR in back of my HT and can be way sketch on fast tight downs

I'm loving this 2.5 Chunker I got out at Mammoth. I'm going to stick with it for the front. I wonder how the Nevegal 2.35 would work for a rear?

I run the 2.35 DTC in the back. I love these tires. A royal PITA to set up with Stans initially but once they seal up they're about the best I've found for the weight. I only run the Stick-E compounds in the front.

I used to run a 2.35 in the back (BG in front) and as mentioned above it gripped well but was sloooooow. Dual 2.55LT Weirwolfs have solved that problem for me. =)

As for Beyond Bikes, I had a disappointing experience with them. First, they repeatedly failed to live up to their shipping commitments (one order, two or three promised ship dates missed) and second they were really rude when I would inquire about my shipment. There's so much competition out there for bike parts that I would rather give my business to a good LBS or an online dealer who knows how to take care of a customer, big or small.

Search MTBR for Beyond Bikes and you'll get a the idea.
