Wide 29" tire
I've got a 29" muni, and i love it! But the problem is that the tire i have is only 2.1" wide. The widest available at the moment (as far as i know) is 2.3". Does anyone know if there is a wider tire available that will fit on my 29" KH rim? thanks /Henrik -- henque19 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ henque19's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12252 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/53089 |

Wide 29" tire
Biggest I know of currently is the 2.35 Big Apple, which is not knobbly. I heard that one of the tyre companies was developing a 2.35 knobbly, but can't remember who - I read about it on a bike / 29er news site somewhere I think. If you've got a KH frame you should watch out for clearance though: older KH 29er frames apparently don't have sufficient clearance for a 2.35 BA. I rode with a BA for some time. I found it OK when I tried it offroad, but you probably wouldn't want to ride it in muddy conditions due to it being fairly slick. On road it was quite a smooth fast ride, but took some getting used to - particularly in terms of controlling its reaction to road crown. Once I was used to it, I liked it. (side note: I now have a 36er, so I've put a Kenda Klaw XT Rear on the Nimbus 29er - same tyre as the KH29XC). -- mark williamson Dave: Just a question. What use is a unicyle with no seat?

WTB make a 29 x 2.35" knobbly tyre. Its called the 'Exiwolf' (http://www.wtb.com/tires_wtb29er.html). Apparently its a pretty good tyre. -- TonyMelton Even a stopped clock gives the right time twice a day. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TonyMelton's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/2118 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/53089 |

I ride an Exiwolf and really like it. Panaracer has just come out with a new 29x2.35 tire called the Rampage (OK, dorky name). I haven't tried it on account of being trapped on a ship for the last 2 months, but I intend to get one from my man Walt (www.waltworks.com) who has tried them and has a review on his website. -- Jim_Rob TTFN- JR The Sage claims nothing, and so cannot be reproached, Lao Tzu ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jim_Rob's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3824 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/53089 |

Wide 29" tire
A review of exiwolf here - http://tinyurl.com/peaca According to a 29er bike person I know, thanks to the inexact science of tyre sizes, it's not actually wider than the kenda klaw 2.1". Is that true?

Wide 29" tire
I just got the Exiwolf 2.3 and yesterday I put it onto my KH29. Today I rode it a couple miles for the first time and I like it. It's not much wider than the stock Kenda Klaw, but has a bit more volume which made curb hopping seem easier. Since the BA2.35 rubbed the frame, I was afraid the Exiwolf wouldn't clear the frame, but it does with a bit of room to spare. -- steveyo steveyo ...like having your own personal rollercoaster... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ steveyo's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/7228 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/53089 |

The exiwolf is wider that the kenda, I found a really good tyre website that tells you all the numbers you'll ever need: http://www.mtbtires.com/specs/700.html The panaracer rampage seems like a good one, but I cant seem to get hold of it. Not many stores have it, and those who do doesn't have it in stock... Someone on a mtb forum said there is a 29" wtb tyre called weirwolf on the way, it is supposed to be 2.55" wide. -- henque19 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ henque19's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12252 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/53089 |
