“Currently unavailable.
We don’t know when or if this item will be back in stock. ” 🙁

Weighs more than my 4.8″ JJ and nearly as much as a 4.8Bud 😀

@legend, look at the tread depth and the gaps between the blocks, its almost like a full on mud spike, it’ll most likely clear extremely well.

And yet you’ll still be on your arse as they fail to dig through the sloppy patch and the bike get disappears sideways from under you.

It’s still a long way off a 1630g Bud

~1100g isn’t ‘heavy’ for a winter tyre

I could only find the weights for the 60tpi 2.5″ which was 1290 I think – nice to see the 3″ is lighter!

It compliments a Jones front end 🙂

My rabbit hole front wheel is missing an axle, 🙁 so I won’t be trying this out for some time.

Anywhere easy to get them from yet? I fancy trying to squeeze one into my Stage.

I emailed next day tyres asking if they could get them in, but had nothing back (not even an automated)

The bikemonger sells Maxxis – could try dropping him an email request to stock some

Next day has the DHF & DHR 29×3 listed as Jan 17th. We shall see

Ah, thanks for the heads up martinh

Thats website weights you need to add probably 5-10% to that – Maxxis might have found a vernier caliper these days but their scales still seem a bit off 😉 Also worth noting thats a 120TPI single ply. A sidewall normally reserved for the lightest XC tyres. Interesting that they have done that on the 3C and 60TPI on the Dual…. I can’t help wonder what the thinking is there?

Finally the rest of us can join in

who has em in stock? and how much will they be?

Nextdaytyres – £90!!

do they come up a bit narrower than chronicles?

Not mounted them up yet. Hopefully by the end of the week

Ton – I’d say a tad narrower, yes

They come up to about a 2.9″

Chronicles are probably the ‘widest’ 3″ of all

There’s a pic on page 1 of the width

I’d love to try one but that’s a ridiculous price for a bike tyre!

I can remember when that Surly Krampus came out – it looked like a complete freak.
Now, you stick those tyres on a Trek FS and it suddenly looks normal!

I’m still yet to try a plus bike. Must get around to it sometime.

At least it’ll stop folk skidding down trails!
