Does anyone else have experience of this system or any of these tyres?



Where do rocket rons fit in?

I see cube now selling bikes with Rons on the front and ralphs on the rear. Do the rons fit between nobby nics and racing ralphs?

Cheers.

I am a massive fan of Schwalbe tyres, but there have been complaints frm riders about the sidewall strength when used in rocky areas. Where I ride they are fantastic though (woodland, south-east).
What combination do you use?

I only really ride XC on road/bridle path/farm tracks etc and was looking for summer tyres. I was thinking a Racing Ralph front and a Fred on the rear would be good but was worried the Fred would wear out after a short time? I know it's sold as an XC race tyre but presumably it's fast rolling on most flat surfaces. Perhaps a Ron on the front and the Ralph on the rear is better? I'm really looking for a quick combination on fairly flat surfaces.
