I put a SS on the back of the Sight last night, replacing the stock DHR. Hoping this will help the pedalling side of things. I'll be testing it out Sunday, when we return to Forrest.

Have ridden the 2.6 Butcher now a few times even in an XC race. Loads of grip.
Also been aired up for over a month, no sealant, no losing air. Just magic! Its slightly wider than the 2.5 Maxxis so seems fairly true to size. Not great for XC but good fun and I'm not fit anyway.

It went really well yesterday. Seemed to roll and pedal a lot better than the DHR, and no issues with grip at all.

I've been running Maxxis Minion SS (Semi Slick) and they run surprisingly well expect for Wet Conditions. Very Quick Rolling enough grip for Downhill and even good in sand.

Trying an E13 TRS up front for a change..

I like them, just need to watch yourself on the faster steep stuff when you need a lot of rear wheel braking.

Yew, WT versions of the HR2 and Aggressor coming - https://m.pinkbike.com/news/new-tires-from-maxxis-wtb-and-vee-taipei-cycle-show.html

Some 2.6" as well! Reckon a Maxxis 2.6" should be equivalent to 2.4 in every other brand

How's this going? Do you have the TRS+ or race?

 

[JoelFitz]

I got the dual compound one which I think is +. It's awesome tyre! Love it. Blows up big too, it's as wide as a 2.5 Minion.

Thanks. I'm trying 29" wheels on my 27.5+ hardtail and the 2.5" 29er Minion is just over 1kg so I'm looking at lighter alternatives.

ran a 2.3 Highroller 2 on the rear today. Grip for days but holy crapper it was slow- like dragging an anchor. Stick with it on the front me thinks.

Anyone out there know of good sources for 26+ tyres?

Thinking of dabbling with some... I had wanted to get some WTB Rangers on recommendation of another 'burner but can't find anywhere to buy them.
