whitestone on "Plus tyres"

I'm running a Bridger on the front, seems OK but I've nothing B+ wise to compare it to. Definitely fine in the dry and was mainly OK in the gloop in the Peak last weekend. Running a Trailblazer on the...

Ikon 2.8s are available in the UK AFAIK. Expensive though.

The rekon 3c maxterra are £65 from the link above. Better than I was expecting.

I think the b+ Trailblazer is pretty quick to be honest, but it's awful for grip - don't even think about it on the front - and I've now ripped the sidewalls on two of them used out back, the first was...

I've only tried 2.8 nobby nics so far. at £35 a tyre from charliethebikemonger made more sense than rekon/ikon at £65 a tyre. they seem to me to roll ok. bit noisy on tarmac but strava says they arent...

@badlywireddog - how much wider are the Schwalbe 2.8's over the Trailblazer? I have the same dilemma. It's going to be when rather than if I rip the sidewall....but my frame, although claiming to be...

STATO on "Plus tyres"

I found the nobby nic to be like dragging an anchor! Ive not tried any other 27+ but even my Fatbike didn't seem to drag as much as a rear NN on hard ground, switched back to a 29er wheel until it...

The TB is definitely small, it's the same width at the tread as a Bontrager XR4 2.35" tyre! The width at the sidewalls of the TB is greater than at the tread which combined with the thinness of the...

I don't know, I'm just about to stick the Rocket Ron in the back, the front looks about the same but with a more rounded profile fwiw. The Transmitter has, I think, been designed around 2.8" tyres, so...

Quick follow-up. Fitted the 2.8 Rocket Ron tubeless in the rear of my Sonder. Gives pretty much the same clearance as a Trailblazer 2.8, but has a slightly rounder profile. I guess it may expand...

@badlywireddog Thanks. That's useful to know. I thought the Rocket Ron was a "race oriented" tyre so might not be the best for long distance stuff But if other Schwalbe tyres are similar then they...

No problem.. The Nobby Nic's seems really good as a front option and probably a year-round rear one as well. I hear what you're saying about the Rocket Ron, but I was after something that would roll...

alpkit have currently got 25% off their rumpus wheels (and the other lovemud stuff) making them a bit of a bargain. shame I bought mine last week. ;-(

So a quick update on the Rocket Ron 2.8. First, after being on the wheel for a couple of days, it's grown a few mm and clearance on the rear of a (pre-production) Sonder Transmitter is pretty tight....

Where did you get the rocket Ron from? I got the NN's from charliethebikemonger for a great price(£36) but can't find the RR for a good price.

Next DayTyres - just over 40 quid I think. I'd rather have paid less, but like you say, there aren't a lot of options out there. I did browse some of the German sites, but they mostly seemed to be out...

Apparently Specialized are doing a Purgatory Grid 3.0 tyre, with a stickier yet fast rolling compound (they've hired an ex Continental chemist - black chili stylee?) and stronger sidewalls - out later...

Oh, for the record. I contacted alpkit and they gave me a credit note for the difference between the full price and sale price wheels.

Spesh 3" are considerably wider than Schwalbe 2.8".
