Vee rubber trials tire review

The Vee Rubber is an economy tire that works fine for the kids and average punter. If you cannot afford a Mich, go for the Dunlop as a serious comp rider! The IRC tube type rear is great for twinshock use. The only difference in performance from Michelin tube rear is the IRC needs a slightly higher pressure than a Michelin to feel the same ie it is a bit more flexible in the carcass.

The IRC is especially good because it is the only tube type rear that is easy to get a hold of here. The side wall seems very stiff, even with 2 psi i could not get a big foot print.

I had some old, old Dunlops on the Bultaco when I first got it. Wasn't interested in spending much on tires until I had ridden a bit. I cannot describe the difference. The bike would go places I wasn't able to go. It felt much more sure-footed. Tires, and more so in trials than any other motorcycle sports, should be the only point of contact between you and the ground not to say that I haven't had just about every body part touch the ground whilst riding trials so you should make sure you get the best tire you can afford, whether it be a Dunlop, IRC or Michelin.

Save the cheap tires for a bike you don't want to ride. I bought a Vee-Rubber rear from a firm in Bradford about 2 years ago for my '03 Rev 3 and in my opinion, they are not as good as the Michelin that came with the bike.

Ran a new Mitchelin today for the first time after only having experienced vee rubber. Riding in slick clay mud the difference in upright grip was very noticable. Cleaning climbs the vee wouldn't get half way up with less speed. Cross camber though it doesn't appear to have any more grip. The vee has done miles of road work and still good for another Bet a Mitchelin wont do that! We put more than grams of balancers per tyre. After kms tyres needs to be rebalanced.

Complete junk. Plant representatives declined to offer any compensation. Think of the vee rubber tyre as one that looks like a trials tyre but in reality it is for trail bikes. Bit of an old thread,but I would have said the same then - IRC all the way,thats if you want some grip You can post now and register later.

Only 75 emoji are allowed. Boom Boom , Jan 20, I put Vee Rubber trials tires on my Fantic and work fine. Agree Shinko are worthless. Pirelli MT makes a decent enduro bike tire but suck for trials bikes I have had no issue having tubeless tires hold on a tube type rim. My understanding is the ID bead of the tubeless is a little bit smaller than the tube type.

I lube the bead well with wd and run the pressure up to 60 psi. Let sit over night and drop the air and mount up the next day. I think the Vee Rubber must be tube type because it jumped into place on the Fantic without running air pressure up. You could also mount the tublis system on the rear tire and that would push the tubeless tire into place and no rim locks needed.

The japanese bikes seem to have more trouble with the tubeless tires. Dunlap will hold a bead better than a Mich. Norman Foley , Jan 20, I'd like to try the Tubliss system on a trials bike and use a hybrid tire like the Kenda Equilibrium for mud riding.

You can run zero psi. The high pressure tube is psi so it won't lose the bead. DerViking , Jan 22, Norman Foley , Jan 22, I run an Equilibrium with a HD tube on my enduro bike. I'm late to the party here, but for what it's worth I've got 's on my Sherpa T without any issues. But it's a , instead of
