Wanted: WTB Stout 29" Tyre

Recommended Posts

I am looking for a WTB Stout 29" tyre. I have phoned a number of cycle shops looking for one and no one seems to stock it. Does anyone know of a cycle shop that may stock them ?

 

I'm currently using a WTB Exiwolf, and for my application is really a rubbish tyre. The sidewalls are too thin so the tyre buckles/bends whenever I take any drops with it, starting at 1 foot even. Taking bigger drops makes it worse obviously, resulting in it kind of throwing me off when it pulls itself back into shape after the drop when the wheel corrects itself Cry It also does not have an aggressive enough profile so it slips/slides on loose sand.

Matbe try the Kenda Nevegal? Haven't seen a Stout in this country yet' date=' I'm afraid.[/quote']

A friend who has the same 29'er is currently using the Kenda Nevegal.  He likes it and is more skilled than I am so take much bigger drops, so would definitely consider it.

 

The main reason I want to try find the WTB Stout first is that it is the tyre recommended by the person who designed the Unicycle, the legendary Kris Holm. The unicycle now ships with the Stout on the 2008 model. I currently have the 2007 model.

Any idea how much the Nevegal goes for?

Cool stuff... deal. No point in hanging onto a tyre I don't like and am not going to use.
