It’s 42deg C here today, will let them bake outside!
Wow you think the DHF is unpredictable? To me is one of the most consistent tires in the front. I ride a lot of hard pack with moderate amounts of loose top dirt, some wet, some rocky stuff. Still I don't think DHF is bad in the wet or almost anywhere, pretty much has become my front tire of choice. I've run Dampf and Mary in front on occasion too, hate the Mary unless it's soft and Dampf is decent but not as predictable as DHF in front, IMO. What do you like for front tire that's more consistent than DHF?I have both the 2.4 and 2.6 Eddy front and don’t care for either, to me there a slow rolling heavy DHF. AND JUST as unpredictable as a DHF
I have found a pattern let’s see if it stays true. everyone who i have found liking DHF runs narrow wheels. 32 or narrowerWow you think the DHF is unpredictable?

Mary and Hans and assajgi but the narrowest front wheel i run is a 35 . The 29x2.6 tires Shwab makes roll on narrow wheels and become unpredictable. Example. Hans 29x2.6 on a 29-32mm internal wheel is the worst front tire on planet. but I’m hard dry conditions with puma stone, granite, shale, sand, kitty litter, on a 35 internal it wears like iron and super predictable.
At all the EWS ROUNDS, It’s crazy how popular that tire is. Seemed like everyone had it on. Looked at every podium and it only landed in 2-3rd place is cat 3 in two different age groups. every cat 1 and pro podium was not on DHF.
That to me speaks for itself
But every cat1 and rco rider i ride with very seldom uses it as they agree with me. Very unforgiving and unpredictable spec on trails with off cambers or flat hard with loose on top.
Never trust a Hans Dampf period!Haha! Never trust a man who has Dampf in the front
Sounds like an oven. Good luckIt’s 42deg C here today, will let them bake outside!
