I'm off to the Pyrenees in a couple of weeks for a biking holiday, which I guess will be smooth singletrack with occasional rocks. My Bronson is currently on High Rollers, but considering something faster rolling for the back but needs to be able to withstand a bit of abuse. I run tubeless. Any thoughts about Ardent or Crossmark, or any other suggestions?

    I love my 26er Crossmark's. Don't run anything else on the rear of my XC/AM bikes unless it's muddy and even then I don't always change. They're pretty damn tough as well, I can destroy tyres quickly when I want to but the Crossmark's just keep on going. Maybe not the best for braking grip but they're so damn fast that more than makes up for it and they are very predictable.

    Thanks, Racing Ralphs seem too fragile, so Crossmarks may be the best option :)
