another XCR ?

[MEL]

has anyone had problems getting flats with these? i've gone through 3 this year, one side wall slice, sliced one accross the top, and one smaller hole on edge of side wall that i think i can fix. i've had good luck with other itp tires and was wondering if this is just bad luck on my part or something with XCR's?

The only problem I've had is that they slide to easy on the Blaze. I like the side bite better on the XC's. I haven't had flat problems with either.

hey Jeff... what is a good axle carrier for a 2000 400 ex with a stock axle and swingarm? i broke mine yesterday.

They are all pretty similar. Herrmann has the best price. Alloy Specialities has one you can grease with out pulling the carrier out but its pretty expensive.

Being on this Forum, I have heard of some riders complain about some factory defects...

Note: Just remember that these bad boys spin (rotate) more and slide more than the others... :macho Something to consider.

Good luck!

my XCR's have been holding up great.. Put about 120 miles on them so far without a problem.. I managed to nail some rocks to (need to remember to pay attention LOL).. I should add that the rocks up here are mostly glacial (IE rounded, not jagged) so that may have some effect also..

I can say that those babies dig :D :D

I like my XCR's a lot 250 miles and no problem so far, starting to wear a little though.
