Meezo Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 DON'TWhy not? I’ve got 2.3 High Roller and 2.2 Ardent on 30mm ID rims and they feel great
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 If going for an aggressive tyre out front and semi slick at the back, which of Magic+Rock Razor and DHR/DHF+SS would you opt for? Running 29er 30mm wide rims (if that makes any difference to your opinion).Magic & Slaughter or Magic & Minion SS. Chavo 1
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Why not? I’ve got 2.3 High Roller and 2.2 Ardent on 30mm ID rims and they feel greatit's a completely different tire to the 2.5's ito feel and he's been looking for "big" tyres for the past 3 months, wondering what to buy. We just want him to pull the trigger and buy a flippin DHF 2.5WT or Butcher 2.6 or something. If he goes for a 2.3 he'll still be asking questions the day after he buys it. What tyre, what width, what compound... JUST FECKING BUY THE MAGIC MARY / DHF WT / BUTCHER!!! T-Bob 1
T-Bob Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) JUST FECKING BUY THE MAGIC MARY / DHF WT / BUTCHER!!! I bought the MM... and then when i turned up to collect from the shop. "oh no" sorry not in stock. Then called a few more places / visited some sites and nada. I've been looking for a DHF 29 2.5 and literally phoned every shop in CT and beyond. Then called the distributors who basically just laughed at me. So boom, boom butcher it is. Edited March 13, 2018 by hellocolour Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 wow .... you guy's are giving me an inferiority complex with my narrow rims and 2.3" wide tyres.......Nah, we don't need to do that. you do it all by yourself... BTW - I have a 2.35 up front. But it's a schwobbly, which, like WTB, understate their sizing by quite a bit.
T-Bob Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 wow .... you guy's are giving me an inferiority complex with my narrow rims and 2.3" wide tyres....... Go stand in the corner and think about what you've done. Hairy and Capricorn 2

I just realised I ride an XC bike anyway, so all good to go T-Bob, Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and Eddy Gordo 3
T-Bob Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Make sure it's the GRIPTON version. And NOT A CONTROL CASING!!!! So... 2.1 Ground control with the control casing it is then. Fast, light and looks good with lycra. Odinson 1

T-Bob Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 I might have a DHF 2.5 message me later I’ll double check I definitely have a DHR 2.3 but i must check Awesome! Will do. While you're in the man shed just check that other mystical things that have never been seen aren't lurking in there... you know like bigfoot, a unicorn, Flight M370, Lost city of Atlantis, the Amber Room, another DHF 2.5 29'r, that kind of thing.

On my last ride on the Butchers my bike did an unintentional 2 wheel drift at 50kph. It was probably the pine needles that did it and at least it was very even i.e front and back together, but scary nonetheless. Looking forward to getting back on a Maxxis or MM up front...
Hairy Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 So... 2.1 Ground control with the control casing it is then. Fast, light and looks good with lycra. Nooit .... you want the S-Works version if you want to go FAST
