  4. That is what he and I use now on our KH24". Total looser tire. When I
    find something that hits the spot I'll let you know. I'm going to start
    testing other tires myself.

  5. What kind of tire pressure are you guys running who are having problems
    (hate) with the Duro.

  6. What's wrong with the Duro?
    It's what's on my KH, and I don't really notice any difference between
    that and the Gazz on PDCs...

    Give UDC a call. They sometimes carry other tire choices than are
    currently on their website.

  8. I, for one, prefer the Duro.
    Try adding air pressure.

  9. Tyre pressure makes a huge difference.

    I've got a Halo Contra. It is pretty poor on the road but I do 99% of
    my riding off-road so it isn't a big issue.

  10. i've gone through quite a range of pressures

    off road it doesn't feel like it matters, but you still are having to
    fight with the tire, you just attribute it to fighting the trail

  12. I think maybe some people have developed crooked riding habits as a
    result of gazzaloddi? And then when turning to the duro tire, find that
    they are somehow riding in circles without meaning to... Mine has
    tracked perfectly straight since day 1, it just took me time to learn
    how to actually turn into uphill slopes at first, but then I couldn't
    ride any uni very well at that stage. The 24x3 tires all seem to be
    nearly identical from looking at them, it seems pretty amazing to me
    that they can yet be so different in riding practice. I think since I
    know the knobs are just going to wear off, I will probably continue
    selecting tires based firstly on price, and then on how it rides, and
    how cool it looks :-)

  13. The gazz has an almost square profile so if you're on a skinny or angled
    rocks or whatever you can get total traction even if only a small edge
    of the tire is in contact. Also the sidewall on the gazz makes it wayy
    better for hopping IMO.

  15. If you want a lightweight 24x3" tyre your options are pretty limited.
    The Gazzaloddi weighs about the same as the Duro, if not more and the
    IRC Kujo is only 40g less than the Gazz. It seems if you want a 24 x 3"
    tyre its going to weigh lots because of all the rubber there. Maybe get
    a Dyno fireball.
