Anyone know if these are available in the UK? 1200g for a fast rolling fat knobbly tyre is a tempting 😀
Ison have no HuDus in stock at the moment.
Damn, thought this was about the music. ...
got the 1280g nate, I'd rather have the 80g for a lot more knobble!
I know Ison don't have them - but there may be a shop out there that has them?
Tazzy - where did you get your 1280g Nate from? Did you weigh it, Surly tyres seem to have a massive variance in weight, my Nate is listed as 1780g - but it weighs 1520g- thing is - I already have a Nate and those big knobs add quite a bit of rolling resistance - mahoosive grip though!!! The Hu' Dus' are supposed to roll much better than a Nate and look to have enough grip for a "Summer" tyre and they often come up lighter than 1200g i hear - also slightly smaller diameter, which could speed up the steering a tad.
So none available in the UK then?
I don't think Ison have had any HuDus in since the first batch sold out - i.e. the original spec, so unlikely that any shop will have them either. Perhaps drop them an email asking for some Ultralights to be brought in - or order them from the US and pay the tax/duty.
nate is the folding bead ultralight 1280g, I have the normal 120 TPI nate which is 1540 on my scales. It's a very different tyre, much more supple in the casing and deforms over stuff like a hungry amoeba. There are a few kicking around in the UK. Keef from this ere forum sourced ours for us.
