[#5987168]

Just wondering if anyone's used the new size Minion DHFs - they're a 2.3, but a 'new' 2.3 in Maxxis sizing world, so presumably significantly bigger than the original pygmy-sized - no offence to Pygmies intended - 2.35s.

I generally run a DHF 2.5, which is more like a biggish 2.3 than a genuine 2.5, but I'm wondering how the new 2.3 compares in size to the existing 2.5. Anyone run both?

No-one then. Never mind, just bought one. I'll let you know how they compare.

I'm using them. Bigger than the old 2.3's, probably the same width as the old 2.5's, but lower profile. I am using them on a set of the silly wide 35mm Derby rims though.

Sounds about right. I always thought a Minion DHF around the same size as a 2.25 Ardent would do nicely. I'm guessing these won't be too far off that.

I'm being a bit thick, they're presumably about the same size as a 2.35 Ikon, one of which I already own… doh. Which is good.

My 2.5 DHF measures up at about 2.35" - 2.4". The old 2.35" came up about 2.2"...

Have a set of the New minions in 2.3. Ran them for the first time at the weekend in a very wet BPW!

Ran tubeless absolutely fine
