Kenda Nevegal 2.1in DTC

darren555

I've just bought a couple of these at a bargain price from www.on-one.co.uk and for now have put one on the front to replace my Specialized Fast Trak LK Control 2.0in to give a bit more bite, keeping the other Fast Trak on the rear. It only weighs 15g more than the Fast Trak and comes up about the same width.
Recommended tyre pressure is 40-65 PSI.
Should the combination with the fast rolling Fast Trak on the rear work alright?
What pressures do you find works best with the Nevegal?

Cheers,

Darren

Depends on the terrain. 30-35 usually works for I.

yeh I sometimes run a Nevegal on the front and SB8 on the rear for the summer,

sidewalls are thin, so stability of the tyre is lost with low pressures like 20-30 psi, anything above that should be fine

they are just as good on the rear, some people recommend a Blue Groove front Nevegal rear combination,

I run a Nevegal up front - 30 psi works fine for me

depends on too much for one person's recommendation to work for anyone else but I like the DTC at 35-ish.

i ru n26 psi in my 2.5 HR on the front of my HT, and about 34 psi in the ignitor 2.35 in the back, both with fat tubes.

slow, but super grippy. for hardcore XC/trail/am/ocasional DH
