Maxxis courcheval ? any good ?
Postby wurtulla wabbit » Tue Mar 19, 2013 8:32 pm
Was offered these for $50 each today from a friend and hadn't seen/heard of them before.
Any good ?

I'd been having a good run for about 3000km with mine until a recent sidewall cut. I've booted it up with some gaffa taped but I'm a a bit a disappointed nonetheless. Have some Conti 'tater skin "hard shells" now on order as sucessors once I've decided I've pushed my luck enough with the boot on the GPs.
Are your cuts on the tread or sidewall?

Really like them, run well, light and no drama, just noticed the slash and a slight hernia starting.
I went into 99 bikes as they had 2x gp4000s and 2 tubes for $99 but none left in store.

I do do the partial deflate, squeeze/turn/squeeze/turn... routine looking for new intrusions every 300 or 400km.

I liked them, raced on them for a while, grippy rubber, slick, great on the wet roads.

Not fussed, revolution is the last chicken in woollies for me, only go there now as a last resort.
Prob never give him another cent after that (previously got about 1500 from me and a mate in one hit ! )
So...2xGP4000s and 5 tubes for $87.00. That's $13 less than he wanted....
No wonder bikes shops are struggling, he would still be getting sales from myself and 3 mates but now has shafted himself and me !
Good work Russel !
