DJG Posted October 10, 2014 Share nah id go conti, I find the Richey's to be a little on the slippery side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odinson Posted October 10, 2014 Share Not sure if they're available yet in SA, but have a look at Specialized's Butcher Control (front wheel) and Purgatory Control (back wheel). Both tyres have 650B options. Should offer high grip levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droo Posted October 10, 2014 Share Onza Ibex, WTB Vigilante or Schwalbe Hans Dampf (if volume's your thing) for the front, with Onza Canis, WTB Wolverine or Maxxis Ardent on the back would be my call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tunariaan Posted October 15, 2014 Share Thx gentsAre those maxis ardents super heavyI like spez in general but find them to be a bit slippery when it gets wet on the single track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanievb Posted October 15, 2014 Share Kenda Honey Badger, not the lightest but super grippy and lots of volume for a 2.4 tunariaan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
