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

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).

pedals!

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.

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.
