29er tyre choice
Posted: 28 Feb 2012, 6:26pm
So these things have been around for a few years but it is hard to find opinion/grouptests on 29er tyres as new models still seem to come out each year as manufacturers increase their support. So what do CTC forum users reckon? Are 29er's popular enough yet for anyone to have a well rounded opinion? Have you tried a tyre and found it particularly good/poor.
Things that matter to me are grip (I ride the Peak District all year round), and longevity. I don't mind spending £40 per tyre if they are going to last a few miles.
Tubed or tubeless tyres I don't mind, but I don't want to spark another debate on that subject! And what sort of widths do people find necessary? Currently building a 29er and looking for it's first set of shoes...
