anybody tried WTB Riddlers?

[Neil Doran]

Anybody tried 'em? Was ogling them at my LBS and they look quite nice....great volume, and look like they would roll pretty well. Coming off a well-worn set of Soma Cazaderos and new tires are in my future.

I do and I think they're great. I have the 27.5 x 2.4 lightweight version on my Hunqapillar and they are an excellent all-rounder tire considering I've only ridden them in the city.

I've had the 700x45 Riddlers on my Appaloosa for a year. I'm very happy with them for mixed terrain Vermont riding - dirt, pavement, loose sandy gravel, muddy town roads, under-biking forays on abandoned forest roads. -  K

Thanks, sounds promising! Think I may give them a go.

i really like this tire. i, too, had the 700x45 version and used them on my black mountain cycles MC and then my Sam Hillborne. they roll fast but still offer great traction in dry dirt (both loose & hardpack) conditions. 

two things to note based on my experience:

1. the center tread wears quickly because it is thin. 

2. the side knobs are so built up that cornering can feel "unique" at times. as in, you turn sharply and find that the tire stops leaning at a certain point. this is only a problem on the road. what you lose in road turning capability you gain in offroad traction. ymmv or whatever.

I have the 700c x 45 Riddlers on my Bianchi Project 5 and I think that they're wonderful.

I will be anxious to hear how the Riddlers compare to the Cazaderos. I have a new set of tubless 45 Riddlers in my tire stash, but I was able to squeeze the 50 Cazaderos on my Toyo Atlantis and I absolutely love them.
