29x3.00 Minion DHF Plus 120tpi folding 1110g
26x4.80 Jumbo Jim LiteSkin PaceStar 1190gNot far away!
It's still a long way off a 1630g Bud
~1100g isn't 'heavy' for a winter tyre
I could only find the weights for the 60tpi 2.5" which was 1290 I think - nice to see the 3" is lighter!
It compliments a Jones front end 🙂
My rabbit hole front wheel is missing an axle, 🙁 so I won't be trying this out for some time.
Anywhere easy to get them from yet? I fancy trying to squeeze one into my Stage.
I emailed next day tyres asking if they could get them in, but had nothing back (not even an automated)
The bikemonger sells Maxxis - could try dropping him an email request to stock some
Next day has the DHF & DHR 29x3 listed as Jan 17th. We shall see
Ah, thanks for the heads up martinh
29x3.00 Minion DHF Plus 120tpi folding 1110g
Thats website weights you need to add probably 5-10% to that - Maxxis might have found a vernier caliper these days but their scales still seem a bit off 😉 Also worth noting thats a 120TPI single ply. A sidewall normally reserved for the lightest XC tyres. Interesting that they have done that on the 3C and 60TPI on the Dual.... I can't help wonder what the thinking is there?

Finally the rest of us can join in
who has em in stock? and how much will they be?
Nextdaytyres - £90!!
do they come up a bit narrower than chronicles?
Not mounted them up yet. Hopefully by the end of the week
Ton - I'd say a tad narrower, yes
They come up to about a 2.9"
Chronicles are probably the 'widest' 3" of all
There's a pic on page 1 of the width
I'd love to try one but that's a ridiculous price for a bike tyre!
I can remember when that Surly Krampus came out - it looked like a complete freak.
Now, you stick those tyres on a Trek FS and it suddenly looks normal!
I'm still yet to try a plus bike. Must get around to it sometime.

At least it'll stop folk skidding down trails!
