As above, any options beyond a bonty cx0? Am a paranoid android so would rather proper tubeless ready rather than a normal tyre. Clement las tubeless don't seem available yet which is a shame as I'm a clement fanboi. Big sidewall slice in my Mxp this eve so taking the advantage to put a file tread on the rear until the mud comes. Need next day delivery too as racing Sunday.

What about a Schwalbe G-One? Not a file tread per se, but still pretty fast, grippy and tubeless.

Cheers, how is the edge grip with no pronounced knobs?

Ferrals do you want to borrow a rear for Sunday? I've got a spare wheel set with grifo Xs tubs on?

Cheers mate, ordered a bonty tyre next day delivery so should be fine.. The stupid thing is I have got a spare wheelset now - i just happened to leave it in Cardiff ๐Ÿ˜ณ

I patched up the slice and it seems to be holding so will see how it goes this eve, will be a bit reluctant to race on it though till I've hammered it a bit

I was going to suggest the Bonty CX0 - it's not quite a file tread, but it gets noticably quicker after a few hundred miles when the centre tread flats off a bit. I've also run the non-TR version on Crest 29ers without issues, they're slightly larger - 34 v 33 I think - and give a slightly suppler ride, possibly because the sidewalls are thinner and softer.

My experience of the Schwalbe G-One is that it has bugger all edge grip, but is very quick.
