Put in front that Nobby nic and rear the Rocket ron. It is the fastest tire combination I have tested with permision of the racing ralph.
It is my favorite fast rolling combination BUT the drawback is that the rear tire, the rocket ron last nothing. You enjoy a lot but it last in my case around 1000 km, nothing more.
So I ride other combinations. My most radical one is in my Yeti SB5T, in front I want lot of grip so I have put a Maxxis Minion DHF 3c Terramax, and rear another fast rolling tire: The mavic cross max. That tire last nothing like Schwalve. The bicycle feels amazing until something happen like a puncture, but it is like been in heaven. Thakes corners like a dream and it is quite fast. I love it.
I have other combinations but that are the fastest and the combinations I like it. In other I have a Magic mary front, Chamaleon rear, or a Continental Race king rear and Black Panther front (I like this tire in front a lot but not easy to find one) etc In my 26 bicycles I have Nobby Nic and racing ralph, the old version. i still have a "small" stock of tires with me as they have discontinued the 26 racing ralph first gen.
