We actually have a guest review of this product from Chris….
Thumbs up on the Larry!
Greatly reduced self-steer on the pavement– felt a little when leaned over in a turn ( I suspect this is due to the wide profile and can’t be completely eliminated, a-la a motorcycle), otherwise all gone. In fact, I rode hands-off for a minute or so, something I would never have attempted (or succeeded in) with the Endomorph on the front.
On the snow, better cornering traction. On loose, fresh groomed descent, I went around several turns as fast as I dared (I’m no great bike handler), and was never able to get the Larry to slide before losing the rear end. Gripped well on singletrack and firm groomed snow, generally neutral and un-noticeable– no bad traits, everything different from the Endo was better.
Un-scientific conclusion: Tell Andy, some guy named Tom, and the others to buy one for the front and put their front Endo in the rafters for their next rear tire. Sell it as standard on a new bike.
Of course, that’s just my opinion, I could be wrong…
Best, Chris
