I bought a pair or the Tioga Power Blocks on sale and have only done around 4 rides on them and am very pleased.
I also have Compass Rat Traps and Maxxis DTH tires on other 26" bikes. I give the edge to the Rat Traps but cannot justify price on all my 26" bikes but after riding the Power Blocks a bit don't think I am giving up all that much for the economies realized. They are folding tires, feel pretty supple and roll nicely. The Maxxis DTH have also proven to be a very nice folding, smooth rolling, fairly supple tire and I give 3rd position to them from my experiences over various 26" tires I have tried. I guesstimate I have 1200 miles or more on them and they are wearing great, and only one flat I recall. The DTH have proven to be very durable to this point. I sure hope the Power Blocks prove durable as well. If so I will be ordering another pair. >From recall both these and the DTH come in at about 550 g's and are in the $35 per tire price range. The Rat Traps have maybe 500 to 600 miles on them and are superior, I think, so supple and seemingly fast rolling from my experience. They are somewhat lighter than the Power Blocks and DTH tires but also seem more sensitive to air pressure with my 215 lb heft over the other two brands. I have had 3 or 4 flats on them. I would love to try them tubeless. Safe pedaling, Paul C in Dallas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
