Stuck doing some local rides round field edges at the mo (!) and fancy something fast but with grip so going old skool with a 1.8"
What do you recommend?
Nothing too expensive please!
cheap - maxis ignitor or since we've had loads of rain lately the medusa
Sauserwinds are great if you can find any - not made any more.
I have some fire XC 1.8s that are quite good. work quite as well as mud tires too.
Nobby nics 🙂
+1 for Nobby Nics. They're £28 at merlin right now, which is just about bearable, given how good they are.
Much faster than fire XC and can be run ghetto-tubeless (if you're into that sort of thing).
Currently got TrailBlaster 1.8s on. At under 400g (about 340 ish?) each they are very, very, quick.
Lose grip with the same rapidity too though, so can't see them staying on for much longer...
Yeah, Maxxis Ignitor 2.1's ... they are more like 1.8's, mine look very small, 45mm carcass with knobs on
