I was chatting to someone on the club ride about his Magic Mary in ultra soft compound, and decided I'd like to try one on the front of the FS over winter.

Only problem is I can't find one in 29er size (preferably 29x2.35), I can find plenty in soft, and I'm sure that would do (currently running trailstar but I need at least one extra across my bikes for winter knobblyness anyway), but I'd like to try something really sitcky (whilst apparently not being too draggy).

Its a wire bead. it doesn't look like they make a 29 folding bead in the ultra soft.

Ultra soft Marys even feel draggy on my Ebike....

Cheers for the info, I think as it's dual ply non-tubeless and ultra soft the drag will probably be considerable (my mate's were I assume the supergravity rather than DH casing) - I'll save it for if I get a spare set of wheels for uplift days (by which point hopefully everyone will be riding the one true wheel size and I'll be able to get the ultrasoft across more casings)

(wire bead your only option at the mo, as samuelr says)
