That's a wonky work bench. Excessively large timber setting is around the other side.

You're a god damned animal!!!baby got back... and front. :fat:
Go mount those tyres again with the valve stem lining up to the first X in Maxxis like a gentleman who owns a Honzo!
Other than that, those tyres looks pretty baller!!! If and when I break the spending ban I might just have to give some 6fatties a go.

If you line up with the First X in Maxxis they align on both sides.
But it's a non issue! Just a nice detail. TBH, the Maxxis Minion DHF i have on my Flow EX's wasn't lined up when I mounted it, and on murdered out or stealthed rims, it's less of an issue because you need to actively look to see the valve stem. Bit more noticeable on branded rims, especially if it's askew from decals.

is fat, is good.
a combination of the EXO casings stiffer sidewall, and going to 2.8" on both ends has reduced the little bit of squirminess i experienced (i'm also running close to 5psi less on each end than the schwalbes at ~16/14psi)
the honzo is a touch narrower in the rear than the enduro, and the tyre never touched the frame.. so perfect width for both, i can also run a front mudguard again too.
touch wood i had no pedal strikes, or chain ring attacking logs either... although i think bumping the fork up a touch is still ideal, 130 should do.
i've only ridden this trail on my enduro with 29" wheels before; but on this mornings ride i set quite a few PR's, so something is working.

prepare your anus...
Jonny Sprockets in Toowoomba has the first 10 pairs of DHF and DHRII into Australia (and seemingly the only place worldwide i've been able to find them) for a hair under $100 each.
these are proper tyres too, not the paper thin things everyone else is releasing to keep weights in check. ~1000g each, same as my 29x2.5 DHF.

I too am interested in that. Might hold onto my Zelvy's a little longer.

Was bound to happen sometime. At the moment, all I can find in 26+ is from Surly.

Thanks! I added some blue crank boots and offensively bright green grips last night. figured I could afford a bit of colour on this bike...
The monster minions are fun, but I think the 29" wheels better suit the honzo. Big minions are now on the enduro, making it almost literally unstoppable.
It be good though....

It's 26", it can't be good.
