My rear nobby nic has acquired a split in the sidewall,tube poking out, its a lightweight folding thingy 2.35. I quite like it grip and weight wise, not mega grippy but just about ok. But I always knew that this would happen sooner or later.

Other than a like for like replacement, is their anything you would recommend that has a bit more grip and is a bit tougher, with only a small increase in weight.

Two nobby nics?

I agree. 2 NN’s, one inside the other, might just be robust enough to ride on rounded gravel
