[RBW] Re: Tires for my Hunq

FWIW, I love the Clement MSO's in 700x40. Not as wide as you're wanting, but, they're great on my Rom (as long as I don't overinflate my rear). On Wednesday, October 7, 2015 at 8:38:49 PM UTC-4, Daniel Jackson wrote: > > I will ride 85% dirt roads, 15% paved with my Hunq in northern VT. No >

Can't say enough good about the Burts. I took them off my Salsa for a bit, need to get them back on! On Thursday, October 8, 2015 at 6:03:13 AM UTC-7, Tim Gavin wrote: > > Super Motos are great tires. They are very fast on the road and float > well in the dirt. > > However, based on your dirt

I recently bought Continental Race King (Race Sport) 29x2.0. I will write about them on another thread (tire test and impression thread) sometime, but I don't have time now. To be brief, their tread pattern is more off-road-oriented than Thunder Burt, thus less smooth (but acceptable) on pavemen

Oops. My brain and fingers disconnected and I missed it in my proof read. My apologies, Daniel. No. Compass does not make a 700x2.1" tire. I wish they did, and IF they did I would love to try it and see how a supple tire with large contacts area did on what I ride. Given what the 38 Barlow Pass

[RBW] Re: Tires for my Hunq

Yes. Either would be great, presuming your Hunq is the green edition with the greater clearences. TB's give slight knobby traction which makes a big difference on cambered dirt (packed or loose). If floatation is critical, the SM's would be great. The Compass tires in a 700 x 2.1" on these trail
