Trying to find a bargain pair of tyres for my son's bike and find this on eBay. Pair of Crossmarks for a tenner, "one very worn":

Hahaha.

Watch it and report back if it sells.

Do all those knobbles actually do anything anyway, besides making you go slower?

In related news if anyone has a pair of reasonable condition, tubeless, 26" light trail tyres (Racing Ralph, Crossmark, etc) that they don't want then my son's new bike would really like to give them a new home.

On maxxis no. On schwalbe though they're designed to be released from the tyre at regular intervals so you can find your way back if you get lost.

I might've put a bid in if he'd bothered cleaning them.

Cleaning it would probably expose the threads in the carcass 🙂

@rossburton I've got a new Magic Mary (trail star) and Nobby Nic (pace star) in 26" flavour if you're interested.
Both snake skin as far as I can remember.

Got a Nobby Nic Pacestar Evo slightly better than the one on the right - yours for postage price if you want.

Magic Mary and Nobby Nics are a bit overkill for my 10yo's first 26er: thinking more Racing Ralph and Rocket Ron. Thanks for the offers though!

Got an old used NN & a Newish Conti 2.2” rubber queen for £15.

Where are you Ross?

I have a crossmark in good condition and and an ardent, both exo, but I think the Ardent may be 2.4.

Ha.
Offer a £5er for the half decent one?
Really good tyres imo!
