I need a new front tyre for my hardtail. Default is a Chunky Monkey for I think 25 quid, is there anything better out there for similar money?

Riding is Peak rocks, local singletrack and the odd trail centre and Lakes or Wales trip.

Also I have in the shed a Continental Mountain King and Geax Dhea TNT - these are in the "stick on the rear" pile, either any cop on the front? The Geax weighs more than a small moon.

Try Halfords Website.

I picked up some Minion DHF's for £10 each after a PSA on here.

Looks like they're all gone, bummer.

I've got a pair of Specialized Clutch SX that I could use shot of if you're interested? Halfway between a single- and dual-ply and very sticky.

Aye they sound pretty ideal - how worn and how much?

Five rides (used them for a week with White Room in the Alps), and I'll trade them for a donation to one of the animal rescue charities we support. My email is in my profile, drop me a line 🙂

For a tenner more than a chunky monkey [url= http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/TYMAMIDHF/maxxis-minion-dhf-exo-tubeless-ready-folding-tyre ]MINION DHF EXO TR[/url] from OO funnily enough.

I nearly clicked buy today myself, but I know 2.5" won't clear my forks so I opted for a 2.3" butcher. Once I factored the postage in it was pretty much the same price...

Actually if we're trying to flog the OP our old tyres I could do with offloading some:

L->R

-2 off used Maxxis swampthings 26X2.2" dual ply "slowreezay", dual ply wire bead

-2 off unused Schwalbe Wicked will, one 26x2.5" one 26x2.3" both wire bead.

-1 off used schwalbe Muddy Mary, 26X2.5" wire bead.

-1 off used wicked will 26X2.3" wire bead

-1 off used specialized captain control, 26X2.1", folding bead, folding bead, 2bliss, I think this one may have stuffed a cut ~6mm, not sure if I repaired it..

-2 off used specialized Eskar control 26X2.3", folding bead (although I might have to keep one of these for a while).

I am in Reading, I can post or you can pick up/meet if localish...

Possibly time to stick a FS thread up...

Make me a derisory offer, I might just accept...
