29er tyres

[Wyatt Earp]

Anyone with experience with the Renegades? They don`t seem to have much volume - 1.9 or something, and I am worried about them wearing fast on the rear...

They are light and fast, I am using them on my geared bike, they are OK'ish.

The Maxxis Crossmark's are far from light but oh so great.

tried the Hutch pyhtons 2.1...CRAP!

tried the conti race kings 2.2...CRAP!

 

so the only ones I have been happy with side wall etc...is the Racing Ralphs

Erm....I have Ralphs on now and is a great tyre, but on the rear it wears just a bit fast and is overkill in grip in the summer where I ride, I might just keep a Ralph on the front, but for the rear I want something even faster. I want to try the Aspen front and rear cause it is just super fast - Aspens roll faster than Ralphs, Ikons and Crossmarks. The perfect tyre for me would be an Aspen Exo set up tubeless, but these dont exist. I`m leaning towards Aspen rear with a lightweight tube, and a tubed Ralph or Aspen front. Any point in having a tubeless front and a tubed rear? If I could only lay my hands on a Stans Raven for the rear....

racing ralph(snake skin -thicker sidewall therefor heavier,evo lighter option) front and small block 8 back, so far so good. wanting to get fast traks from spec. but they never have stock...ikons look fast but not a maxiss fan, seen to much tits in my life...b.t.w we have ikons 29er in stock for those moaning!!!

Hey Vulgar do you have any Aspens in stock? (For me there is no comparison with SB8, the Aspen wins by far. The Ikon competes with the Ralph on the front and the Ralph just wins out for the front. Ikon on the rear is great for wet but I need something faster for the summer)

got aspens but non tubless...they standard on the giant xtc 29er 2011.

Geax Barro Race maybe ?

 

Running my 3rd set of Aspens on the 26" and really love them so 29 should also rock.

 

Interesting you say the Ikon rolls slower, looking at images of the tread I thought it's lower profile and would be faster than the Aspen.

Hello hubsters

 

I am struggling to find a good 29er tubeless 2.2. It seems that most brands only offer 2.1s and I find 2.2 just have far superior grip. I like the crossmark but they only come in 2.1! What should I look for?

Thanks

Look at the racing ralphs...much better than crossmark

See this topic that went on last week and over the weekend.

Check the Geax Saguaro or the WTB Wolverine both are made in a 2.2. The geax is TNT and the new wolverine is UST

I'm using bontrager jones xr and very happy - they're light, fast rolling and relatively grippy in dry conditions.

If you do get RR, try get the snakeskin, i have the RR EVO (non snakeskin)which came with my bike and found them cr&p, i'm replacing mine with Maxis Lust, heavier but from what I've read and heard bullet proof.

I am looking at the Rubena (Cycle lab) R540/tyre) or the new Conti? Or anything else?

Where is the best to buy new Conti price is R750/ tyre it is ridiculous!
