Do you know ANYBODY who used to ride? 26" tires accumulate in any garage that hosts riders. Find some for free! Or is it so late that everybody has already thrown everything away? BL in EC On Friday, August 25, 2023 at 8:59:55 AM UTC-7 Bones wrote: > I recently pulled my wife’s old Cannon

I find Schwalbe usually has some good offerings. You can search by "inch" to find 26x2,2.1,2.25... Edwin On Friday, August 25, 2023 at 11:22:45 AM UTC-5 Bill Lindsay wrote: > Do you know ANYBODY who used to ride? 26" tires accumulate in any garage > that hosts riders. Find some for free! Or

Hello Bones, I built up a Specialized M2 Stumpjumper with Panaracer Gravel King SK tires that are 26 x 2.1. I use it as a gravel bike. The tires are for best for gravel and light duty single track, not as supple as RH Rat Trap Pass, which are better suited for road and hard packed cinder/gravel

My go-to 26 MTB tires in order of aggressiveness: Hans Dampf Nobby Nic Mezcal HD/NN is about perfect for year round singletrack in East Tennessee. NN/Mezcal would be great for ~50% singletrack. Regardless, it rarely makes sense to have the same tire F/R - a few extra grams on a good front tire

A good all-around tire is the Maxxis Ikon in 26 x 2.2. Rolls pretty fast and has decent grip. I love it for XC rides. I put a pair on a 90’s Stumpjumper a couple of years ago. Great tire. Not that expensive, either. On Friday, August 25, 2023 at 9:59:55 AM UTC-6 Bones wrote: > I recently pulle

Re: [RBW] Re: 26” MTB Tire Advice

Good call - Ikon 2.2 is a goodie. Seems to last forever and was easier to mount tubeless than Schwalbes. I’d personally be sketched out with one on the front, but loved it as a rear tire in the summer.On Aug 25, 2023, at 11:03 PM, Hoch in ut wrote:A good all-around tire is the Maxxis Ikon in 26 x

Re: [RBW] Re: 26” MTB Tire Advice

Wow, I totally lost track of this. Thanks for the suggestions all. No, no sadly I do not have any friends with 26” tires hanging around. I guess I’m just looking for any good deals (sales, clearance, etc). I don’t have any number in mind, but I’d rather not shell out $70+ a tire for a bike that

Re: [RBW] Re: 26” MTB Tire Advice

Totally true. I put the wired tires on my son's bike and they're still pretty amazing in terms of suppleness. Better than most other mtb tires, folding or non- Will On Thu, Sep 7, 2023, 3:12 PM DavidP wrote: > Will - It's a good price, just note that the K-guard version is wired vs > the more
