Anything else out there in this size?

Rangers are fine, but a bit scary in the mud or on wet roots. Ideally after something a bit more aggressive for the front wheel.

Any of the new school 2.8s available in 26" flavour?

They seem to offer it in the US - can't easily find a UK / Europe retailer and Maxxis US don't ship to the UK.

Seems increasingly that 26+ is quite a US-centric thing...

Bitten the bullet and gone for the 120tpi Dirt Wizard...

Anyone sees any of those 26 2.8 Minions selling in the UK or Europe, give us a shout!
