Flowta Posted March 13, 2014 Share Anybody come across some 29 x 3.0 tyres anywhere locally?? Looking at a possible project for the near future.... Try Grant Usher at Hunter Cycles or grant@singlespeed.co.za He's the agent for Surly. Saw somebody (Thug?) had bought one. Not 3.0" but I have a WTB Dissent 2.5 in the garage if you're interested.

Flowta Posted March 13, 2014 Share Yeah seen some on Ebay but I don't have a credit card so makes buying from overseas a bit difficult.... They like R1300 per tyre excl shipping Can you send me a link? Actually want the Surly Dirt Wizard 26+ (26 x 2.75)http://surlybikes.com/parts/wheels/dirt_wizard_26 BogusOne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

braailegend Posted March 13, 2014 Share braailegend: might seem out of left field, but the Maxxis High Rollers do very well in wet conditions.Excellent mud clearance because of the clear channels between knobs in the circumferential direction. Their grippiest compound is advisable however. But in general, taller knobs + soft compounds is what you want.If those conti's work for you, and you can get em in tubeless, or convert them to tubeless, then stick with that. I have ditched the HDs, and are now running the Magic Marys up front on my trail bike. The DH bike still runs Muddy Mary's but will be switching that over to Magic Marys as well. the grip from the Magic Marys is stupendous and a very very versatile tyre, despite the size of the knobs. Not scared of the knobs, prefer tyres with aggresive tread, as I dont ride uphill, I usually push up to the top, haha WIll have ook at them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also came across thishttp://www.ebay.com/itm/Duro-Razorback-Down-Hill-or-XC-Mountain-Tire-26x3-00-1-tire-SALE-we-are-nuts-/271399575580?pt=Cycling_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3f30ace01c#shpCntId Shipping is a bit steep though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyTrailRider Posted March 13, 2014 Share Cap, where did you get your Magic Marys from? I'm running a 2.25 Perfomance-line (yeah, the cheap ones) Rocket Ron on the back together with a Pacestar HD on the front. The Ron wears very quickly, exaggerated by the fact that I ride to/from Tokai on mostly tar, and the Pacestar HD is of course quite hard. I'm thinking of moving the HD to the rear and donning the front with some Magic once the Ron is kaput (likely not long). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyaway1 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Try the Ibex DH 2.4 for the front (soft 45 middle compound and 55 on side knobs) = Masons bike in has some left.For the rear , I used 2.35 Minions or High rollers with harder compound.The Ibex ; in the compound suggested wears out too fast on the rear wheel, but works very well for the front. Not sure if you can convert them to tubeless though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking of moving the HD to the rear and donning the front with some Magic once the Ron is kaput (likely not long). Got em from the germans: www.bike-components.de. Prepare to cry at the price. They are proving hard to come by. I think CRC stocks only one type for 26ers and another for 650b. Full variety outside of the german stores is rare, very rare. niterider 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
