Hmmm....

its not the first time its happened to them

I'll just wait and pick one up at a LBS when they have sale. I just know I'd get hit with max duty and taxes!

yes, I have - I really liked it. The only reason I'm on a DHF now is that its what came with my bike and still has life left.

I found it rolled better than a MM up front and grips just as well. Now a DHF out back, I tried it for a few rides, but the lack of braking power scared me.

I have. I found that it's very touchy to braking up front. I explain that by looking at the massive braking paddles and the fact it's essentially designed as a braking device - I never managed to adapt my riding to it.

do any of you run the DHR up front?  when i watch world cup DH videos it seems fairly common. i think it's all Danny Hart ever rides.

I like how fast the DHR x2 combo rolls.

I ran a DHR II DH casing up front for a month on my DH a couple seasons ago while waiting for Addix Magic Marys to arrive. Maybe it was my imagination but it felt like I could notice the 2.4 was narrower/smaller profile than a 2.5 DHF or 2.35 Magic Mary at the time. Felt fast and cornered same as DHF, definitely more braking traction, but just felt small volume wise. I think they make a 2.5WT DHR II now.

I think they make a 2.5WT DHR II now.

They make a 2.4" and a 2.6" DHR.

I felt like the 2.4 WT DHR II has noticeably/perceivably less volume than a 2.5 DHF WT and a more square shape on the same rim and therefore didn’t like it as much as a front tire. Braking traction was very good, cornering not bad, but different compared to the DHF. 

I like the DHR II as a rear tire though, Vice versa for the DHF. 

I bet I could get used to both given enough time. But I prefer more cushion up front and a bit more square profile for the rear wheel.
