re:Hans Dampf…talk to me yo!

Since no one else is speaking up I will. I have been on the Hans Dampf since August and the grip truly is amazing. I found myself climbing this I could not climb the week before due to my tire breaking loose. I was running them front and back but for the dry summer riding the tire is way to soft on the back. I had maybe 6-7 rides and I already had a few nobs have ripped off and most were showing signs of wear. The front was still great. I took the back off and still have the one on front and it still shows almost no sign of wear after 3 months and is grippy as hell. Great tires but for the price I would not run one on the back.

which compound have you been using?

This is exactly what I keep reading. Sounds like a great front tire though. It's the trailstar compound I assume? I know they're coming out with a harder pacestar compound as well (which might solve the problem of rear tire wear) but I don't know if it's out yet.

For rear tire, I'm probably going to go with trail king 2.2 in black chili. I run one up front right now and it's pretty grippy but wears a lot longer than most grippy tires.

This is exactly what I keep reading.

why do you keep asking the question if you keep getting the same answer? i've never even seen one of these tires but i could have told you the same thing… because i've been forced to read the response of everyone you've nagged about them. buy a set or stfu already

edit: but don't take it from me:

I mean I should just stfu ffs.

Ha. Yes. Good point. Maybe I should ask you about your Chromag Kamui then. But that's for the hardtail thread. Better yet I'll pm you so I don't bother anyone. FFS.

Edit: There's a lot of grouchiness out there today. People in general need to ctfu or gtfo. Ffs.

^ It's the snow on the trails, and the prospect of not riding for a few months.

Yeah…I guess that's it. I'm going to keep riding as much as I can. I'll have to be creative. Might even do spin classes just to maintain/improve my cardio. I can't go into another spring puking the first time I do a climb. Just can't do that anymore.
