    Nice, I am tempted. Was it hard to fit them originally? Is it hard to change tyres?

    If you follow the instructions its easy. Yes changing tyres is also essy.

    I use some stans mtb sealant for extra protection.

    I changed a MX rear tyre about 30 years ago. If their is a tyre lever around I still refuse to get within 5 paces of it.

    Has anyone tried the Gibson tires ? ( sounds like GoldenTyre had a split ).

    Changing tyres is the worst.

    Slicks on proper size rims is easy. Ive changed dozens.

    Knobblies is like a slice of hell. I won't do it. Take em to a mate - I do mechanical things for him. - He changes tyres for me. Got me onto Tubliss in the first place. Good chap. Probably missed his calling in life and stumbled into Acountancy instead of tyre changer.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    i dont mind full size mx bike tyres,

    but 10 inch or 12 inch mini mx tyres are the devil,
