ONZA IBEX FR 2.25's

Last summer I spent a fair bit of time on ONZA's new tyres, the IBEX FR 2.4 and the CANIS 2.25.
I really didn't gel with the IBEX 2.4 in our dry lose conditions, but over the winter I've been riding the smaller version and have found it to be a damn good soft conditions tyre. It's knobs bite in the soft ground and hook up slip free forward momentum, drift very nicely in the corners and hold on well under brakes. I find the tyre to be slow rolling like it's big brother, but run 5 psi higher than normal pressure and the drag mostly disappears with little lost in traction.

It's got a good strong, large volume casing, so running it tubeless is the go and it can handle some bashing in the rocks. The knobs seem to clear quickly of excess mud and wear is pretty respectable too. Give them a try!

Commencal Meta shock guard.

If you are a new Meta owner, you would be a little concered about damage to your shock from rocks being flicked off your rear wheel. Well with not to much thought, I came up with this little item. Works a treat. I been fitting them to all my Meta builds for the last 8 months.
