Its interesting that your front MX 51 geomax and mine were different. Mine was 7lb.14.5, and I  weighed it 7-8 times to be sure.  Yours ended up at 8.2.

ok i have some CRF parts i can sell ha ha lol. i would throw the board a bone if thats what it took to make a sticky. i just think it would be easier for when people are going to buy tires to check the weights rather then having to search or forget etc

i don't mind at all doing the list, whenever i get new tires i weigh them so i figured why not share, my good deed for the day

If you were selling something for the CRF and a "TT expert" like Eddie Sisneros you could have two stickies!

Seriously though, thanks for all the work in putting this list together.

what is the 14.5?? on my scale after .9 it goes to the next weight so yours would be like 8.4lb on mine i believe if i did that right so there really only .2 ounces off of each other. so if that is the case our scales are pretty close. i will bring it by my friends house also and see what i get. i can even put it on the scale at my gym which is those big doctor ones and see what i get

lol i can see the looks on there faces when i come in the gym with my MX tire into the locker room then leave 10 second later lmao

The 14.5 would be (fourteen-point-five oz.) As in one and one-half ounces under 8 lbs.  No big deal, really, as they are pretty close. I found it odd because our scales have been accurate on everything else. Maybe this is just a production line variation????

[H Bomb TT Titanium Member]

so wait did i convert yours from mine correct?? where if you weighed on my scale you would of got 8.4 and i would of got 8.2 or was i way off??

7lbs. 14.5oz's would be 7.9 pounds, not 8.4.

[H Bomb TT Titanium Member]

ok so i was way off lol

but 8.2lb and 7.9lb are not far off and expected with 2 different scales i would think

Just for fun I threw a few tubes on the scale. A brand new OEM Brigestone (80-100/21) tube showed 1 lb, 5oz.   I also tried a cheap, Kings Tire tube and it weighed 15 oz.  (80-100/21 as well).

For the Tubliss system to knock off 2lbs, it would have to add negative weight.

I agree, Ive been looking for this thread for a while.

make it a sticky!!!

come on guys get up to date on your units, nobody uses lbs and ounces any more. kgs and grams are what the world uses. unless your in some backwards country like the states.

next you'll be using buckets of coal as your units

awesome thread by the way.

[H Bomb TT Titanium Member]

i actually sell coal, but we sell it by the ton not buckets. lol

what youre not taking into account is how much air in the tubes would weigh. Im also going to assume they are comparing the absolute heaviest tube out there against theirs.

The tubliss tire set-up takes air as well. How would that change?  I agree that they probably compare themselves to the heaviest tubes.

My geomax mx 51 rear tire the 110/80-19 size just arrived.

Weight is 12lb 9 oz, or 5.74 kilograms for our metric friends.

That is more than I expected and is the same as listed for the Maxxis Maxxcross IT on the first page.

Speaking of tires, I've been running a Pirelli Mid Hard lately and it feels much like a Dunlop 756 but it's lasting much longer. 756 lovers should give the Pirelli Mid Hard a try. It's and excellent tire.

"Dunlop says the new design doesn't add hardly any weight (over the models they replace)."  mmmmkay

I was a little surprised as well. The tread is a few mm deeper than either the 756 or 952 I have in matching sizes.  

I also weighed front wheels. One was oem all the way, the other was with oem hub and rim and Pro Wheels spokes.  The pro wheels spokes added 10 oz to the wheel.

i will add this to our compete list. thank you.

curious, what made you go with the 110/80 vs a 110/90/19 like you normally see?? is there a benifit to the 80?? also does that make it taller or shorter?? sorry not good with what numbers do what on the tires lol

i agree the pirelli mid hard is awesome, thats the scorpion right??

i read somewhere that pirelli doesn't make works tires, that there scorpion line is what the factory riders in europe run. the same thing we can buy. pretty cool

RC i know you said you don't have enough mod power to make it a sticky but do you have power to let me edit my first post so i can have the complete list on the first page and keep updating it there instead of quoting ?? it let me edit it once then after that the edit option went away and i can only quote it when i add tires and it goes to the last page

thanks in advance
