Anyone recommend a good tyre to handle the really gloopy sticky horrible stuff around the Chilterns... and for a 29er?
If it's 75% as good as IRC Mud Mads used to be, that'll do. Currently running Conti Vapours and they're not too bad, but even they started clogging badly yesterday.
long time no see, shorty. Hope all's well.
Ive been using a 29er stout on the front but the mud I get out this way (or in wales) is more loamy. Has the added bonus of hanging up on any root or rock like a sleeping chimp. But not sure how well it would shed chiltern clag.

Maxxis beaver better than mud x
Loving the Beaver.
So to speak.
beaver or mud-x
Mates got max is beavers on his anthem 29er and they're pretty good
I'm currently running Maxxis Beavers on my XTC29er and prefer 'em to Mud-X's, as they're light and fast rolling (for a mud/loose conditions tyre) - they've coped well with local Dark & White Peak District mud.
I've used the Beaver and MudX and prefer the Maxxis but they are slightly flimsy (due to the low weight i guess).
If weight isn't an issue CRC are doing the Wire version for a lot less than the folding bead version.
I'm running Beaver rear and Spesh Purgatory front and finding it to be a very good combination.

Wire beavers aint even that heavy, 620g (compared to 490 for exception, 545 for folding) Still the dual compound tread too, same tpi as folding, less than exception.
