I've seen the WTB ranger lights at Chainreaction for £30

But I was hoping for something a bit more "UK" spec

Anything going?

Not a 'deal' as such just a fairly cheap and good all season tyre.

I use one on my Stooge Mk4 round the lakes with no problems 👍

@wzzzz I'm in exactly the same. Bought some nobby nic 2.6s but they came up 2.52 and I've loads of room left. They have made a big difference so curious to try a bigger tyre. I think the 3. 25 above would be too big. Schwalbe don't do a bigger 29er tyre that I can find.

I like the maxxis minion 3 inch tyre but £50 is pricey for something that may or may not be any better. The Ranger looks good for a summer tyre.

To close this off I had a work trip to the states so got a Surly Dirt Wizard delivered to my hotel:

Billy Bargain got it for like £30

The cheapest I could find in the UK was £50 at nevis cycles:

Now to build a wheel around the Easton ARC 45 rim I got.

Is the Duro Crux tubeless? No mention on that Unicycle page.

I set my Duro Crux up tubeless at the weekend. I used Gorilla tape as I couldnt find any 50mm rim tape. I do have access to a compressor which helps. It is a fantastic tyre and at a good price. Beare in mind it is 3.25 so maybe a bit wide for some frames.
