roarkstr Posted August 5, 2009 Share Where can you get 29er tyres in SA. I have seen Specialized tyres at Fritz Pienaar - where else? Does anyone stock 29er UST tyres (GEAX TNT tyres or Hutchinson Python UST or any other UST 29er tyre)? Thanks Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guttersnipe Posted August 5, 2009 Share Bowman in Cape Town has the widest range I've seen, including tubeless ready models (Bontrager), Kenda, etc. That may not be much use to you in Gauteng of course, but they may be prepared to post them to you. I'm afraid I ordered a few with my last batch from Chain Reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thug Posted August 5, 2009 Share I picked up some Hutchinson Pythons Tubeless ready from Westdene Cycles last month. For a 29er tyre they are pretty light and sealed up straight away with Stans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evolve Posted August 5, 2009 Share Cycle Lab in Centurion Pta have some as well. Ask your local dealer to get hold of the Conti Agent, they got awsome Mountain Kngs - running them on my full suss and loving them. Bontrager XDX on hardtail also very good.

swoosh1973 Posted August 9, 2009 Share check out coolheat on the links section. They will be able to give you best advice as they are realy keen to get bike hops to start promoting 29ers. They are in joburg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newboy Posted August 9, 2009 Share I ride Geax and had ridden Pythons. Got the Geax from Fritz in Paulshof. Just ask and they will order. Pythons from Morningside. I have never had problems finding tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Hi Richard, There is a good series of reviews on Twentynineinches and it was #2 in the Top 10 29er Products of 2008 review here: http://twentynineinches.com/2008/12/30/top-ten-29er-products-of-08-continental-mountain-king-24-tire/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTB Kid Posted November 18, 2009 Share The new WOLVERINE 2.2 29er arrived on Friday. Around R545 a tyre incl VAT. Great for hardtail or FS use --- 2.2 is a bit more volume for more cush and traction. Around 820g a tyre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitusTi Posted November 18, 2009 Share I can confirm that the 2.4 29'er Mountain Kings are pretty awesome, I've damaged the one sidewall already but then again I was being pretty silly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
