Considering one for the front, any one tried em?
I've got one... Not ridden on it yet but looks good
It's big but not enormous, little bit more than a schwalbe 2.35
Sweet, I could fit one on my non Boost pikes then and the back end of my Reign?
I hated my Butchers to begin with, somehow though - after a bit of wear I swear they became a lot grippier - every tire that I've ridden before has been grippier fresh. But the Butcher GRIDs are bit gripper than Minions now - at Grenoside at least.
Butchers definitely seem to go 'hard' if not ridden for a while in my experience, it's possible they could be like that new?.
Cheers they sound promising, it's a toss up between the butcher or a wtb convict 2.5.
I run a wtb convict 2.5 on the front. I really rate it. Its a big tyre, fits in a pike fine. I run a 2.5 breakout on the rear. Again a really good tyre. Can break traction when stamping on the pedals on loose conditions tho.
Fits easily in a non-boost 36, couldn't fit a 2.6 purgatory on the back though due to 219mm chain stays, issue was height rather than width
It's all pretty interesting, I have a 2.5 shorty or minion on the 29er most of the time, and a 2.4dhr2 on the back often... I wasn't impressed by 3.0 plus tyres at all, as far as I'm concerned it was almost entirely downsides but I'm up for just a [i]little[/i] more.
