  • Great purchase
Size: 27.5x2.50 Style: 2 Pack
Great set of tires. Came brand new in a box. Fresh and new with tags in them still. Never used or worn. Great purchase for my son’s Goon XL Thorn bike. With paying for. Great traction and grip.

  • Great tire for road and paved/hardpack trails.
Size: 26x2.50 Style: 1 Pack
These tires are on a 26" Fuji Nevada 1.9 Hard-Tail that I have added hydraulic disc brakes too. The front wheel is stock (Vera Terra 26 and the rear wheel is aftermarket (Sun Rhyno Lite 26), more on that later. Overall I have been very happy with these wheels. After mounting them, I took them down a paved trail near my house and on some hardpack dirt/clay trails. They had no problem delivering good grip when cornering and rolled very smooth although these tires are mainly for use on the street and that is where the majority of my review on their use is derived from. I ride/drive a pedi-cab on the weekends. If you are not familiar with them they are basically a trailer with 2 bicycle wheels on it that attaches to a hitch you clamp to the seatpost of a bike. The trailer is about the same length as a 26" mountain bike and mine has 2x 20" BMX wheels on the back with 2 bench seats that can seat 4-6 people comfortably (although I have had 8 people in it at once). I mention this because as you can imagine the trailer may hold 800-1000lbs of passengers PLUS the weight of the trailer itself being about 100lbs. This weight is distributed between the rear trailer tires and the bikes rear tire (this is the reason for the upgraded rear wheel to handle the additional load). I estimate about 40% of the load to be on the rear bike wheel/tire, although this will vary depending on where the people sit and how much they weigh. With that out of the way... These tires are rated for 65psi max. I run that in the front, but run the rear wheel at 80psi. I use whatever tubes are on sale when I need them and run these same pressures/loads with all of them. These tires replaced standard no-name knobbie tires the bike came with them I bought it. The Hookworms roll incredibly smooth, even over rougher asphalt. Even at max air poressure and beyond they allow the bike to coast noticeably easier as well as virtually being virtually silent. The rear tire holds the weight of myself (220lbs) and my loaded trailer (up to 1200lbs+) very well. These tires deliver great grip on concrete and asphalt even when the roads are wet. The extra width (26x2.5) of the tire combined with the fact that the fact that its dimpled surface wraps around almost the entire tire makes the contact patch very stable. For comparison, my old tires were 26x2 and the knobs only ran to the edge of the "normal" contact patch. When there was additional weight added, the way the tire flattened out the smooth sidewall would rub on the ground (occasionally) and the part of the tire on the road would grow in length (front-to-back), this would caused additional load on the wheel and I think (purely assumption) that it was bending spokes. Now the wider tire seems to bulge out sideways under load and the texture wrapping around keeps the sidewall off the ground, this also means the load on the wheel doesn't grow in length and I have not had my wheels go out of true since running them (had been very frequent prior to installing these). About the difference in wheels: The front tire on the stock Vera-Terra was very easy to install, I do not even need to use levers to mount/dismount the tire, I can do it by hand. Even so, the tire holds its bead well and although I have had some flats, none had been from the tube getting pinched. The rear tire on the aftermarket Sun wheel is very hard to install. Even with extra-long steel levers, mounting the tire takes quite a bit of work, to the point that I was worried about damaging the tire/rim. I have since gotten more comfortable with it (and have never done any damage to the rim or tire). Being that I ride an urban area with a lot of bars, there is a tremendous amount of broken glass so I have had these tires on and off many times. Even though both wheels are the same size, the Sun rim has a much stiffer/thicker lip that its just a slight bit taller and I think that is where the increased difficulty in installing them comes from. One last thing to note, when they say 26x2.5 they mean it, these tires are FAT (in a good way). They look awesome on the bike but be warned, they are quite a bit wider than a 26x2 ... more that it might seem like. The clearance against my frame with the old tires was enough to squeeze a pinkie into, now it is about as much clearance as a house-key is thick (on my Fuji Nevada 1.9). Had I been using rim brakes I am not sure they would have fit with these tires. Being that I use hydraulic discs this was not an issue for me, but just check what your clearance is like. I would make sure you have at least 1/4-1/2 inch anywhere a 26x2 tires come close to the frame or any components. TL:DR - These tires roll smooth, have good grip on pavement both wet and dry, had no problems handing extreme weight/loads, and can be run at high pressure. Plus, they are fat and look sick on the bike. ... show more

  • Careful!
Size: 26x2.50 Style: 1 Pack
I was wanting to put my Bafang electric mid-drive kit on a fat-wheeled bike but couldn't find one because they all seem to have really wide bottom brackets. These are a nice alternative. At 45psi they are comfortable but still roll nicely. I'm not a fan of the prices people charge for these but i'm hoping that in this instance, i get what i pay for. If they just don't get holes from pointy little rocks or thorns then they'll be better than my previous slicks. They seem to fit fine on pretty much any standard 26" rim with the bead firmly seated but this is not nearly the only consideration. When i was considering my purchase i measured everywhere that i though *width* might be a problem, but my brain glitched and didn't think anything of the height. As it happens these are about 2.4" high from edge of rim at 45psi, which is almost a full inch higher than my previous tires. The only reason these fit my bike is because i totally lucked out. They just barely clear the front brake bracket, which is where my front fender attaches so i lost the fender until i can figure out alternative mounting. My rear rack, (critical b/c it carries my battery), didn't even come close to clearing so i'm just lucky that it has adjustments for such circumstances. Furthermore my bike now sits an inch higher so this influences my kickstand angle, which is fortunately also adjustable. And, since this an electric conversion it only has one front sprocket. If i still had the original triple chainring i am not sure it would function on the inner gears. Oh, and i had to completely remove the brake pads to get the wheels in. If you've got disc brakes this obviously isn't an issue but if you don't, just be aware that this is another step you'll be taking if you have a flat while out riding. All that said i'm happy with just about everything except the price. I think my bike looks cool and it handles much better on the streets now. I'm attaching a photo of the front brake bracket to show how perilously close i came to not being able to use these. As it is, i don't think i can put any more air in. Just, be more careful than me. ... show more
