Sorry, trying to find the smallest width (reality) dual ply tyre to take to the alps? My mojo doesn't have a lot of clearance for my rear tyre which limits me to certain tyres. I have run 2.35 highrollers in it before which was very close. Are there any alternatives? Are minions smaller or bigger?
Many thanks
Larssen TT comes in a 2.35 dual ply. I've not used that size personally but have been quite happy with the 2.0 LUST in the dry and they seem quite narrow.
I have used 2.35 High Rollers tubeless in the Alps with out any issues if that helps.
2.35 high rollers are pretty narrow - I think minions come up about the same or larger in a 2.35 size. Maybe a specialized butcher in 2.3? Some maxxis ones are tall and narrow for their written size, so it's difficult to find anything as aggressive and grippy in a smaller width. The newer 2.4 high roller 2s are much wider for example.
Is there not some site where the guy is measuring the actual widths of tires?
For guiding I ran a 2.35 high roller front and a 2.25 cross mark on the back ran in reverse (i.e. the opposite way round to what it says). Seemed to work a treat.
