specifically in 29x2.3 but any indication would be useful! the internet is surprisingly quiet on this vital stat...
ive swapped my butcher (29x2.6) out for an eliminator in black diamond.
Its bloody heavy!!!!! great tire but it weighs more than the mary on the front!!!
Like, over 1100g heavy?
oh its heavy. i reckon its over 1100 easily.
but it feels like its indestructible.
the grids are actually quite thin and i thought the butcher grid didnt have much sidewall support and im a super mincer!
I'm on the 2.6 versions of these in Whistler at the moment.
When I put them on my first thought was "ohhh thats heavy" 🙂
They've been splendid so far 🙂
Pretty sure my BLCK DMND eliminator 29 x 2.3 that I am running on the rear was around 1180g, really like it though, the additional sidewall support makes a big difference.
I have a Blck Dmnd and a Grid in the back of the van. When they are rolled up its hard to tell how much but the Grid doesn't feel much lighter.
Our Daughter had been competing for over the last 12 months with 2.6 front and 2.3 rear running the same pressure as in the Grids and says on the trail they feel the same but the side walls are alot stronger.
