Any opinions on this:
Currently riding an on-one 456 26er Singlespeed with RS pikes@120mm.
Just bought an exotic 465mm carbon fork as I'm not convinced I needed suspension with the slop in the wood right now. My query is do I stay with 26 front wheel with bontrager g-mud 2.2(20psi incredible grip!) or would a 29er front with a mud tyre give better front end grip+ cushioning? It's going to be muddy till at least May I expect?
If 29er front what is the best sloppy mud+wet roots tyre?
Thanks.
bonty mud x 29er.
that is all. 😉
I'm running an old-style 2.35 Bonty 29-4 on the front of an Inbred 69er. It's OK, lots of squish and reasonable grip at around 26 psi
Thanks Keef,
Bonty mud-X definitely on the short list, others that I was considering
Specialized storm 2.0x29 or purgatory 2.3x29, conti mountain king 2.4x29, or schawable hans dampf 2.35x29? Like the idea of big volume as no suspension any more? But no use if it clogs?

69er? Anything that let's you keep a grip when it all starts to get a bit sweaty and exciting, I should think. Oh, hang on...
I've heard good things about the new Spesh tyres,never tried 'em personally tho.been a mud x user for 5 years at least.......
course,if you want real grip/cushioning,go fat frontage,use a nate !
