Morning Everyone,
So, what with all this wet weather and washed out trails, what trailraker equivalent exists for 29" wheels? Seem to remember a thread on here over the last couple of weeks, but search tool isnt turning up much.

Happy with my Maxxis Beavers in this grotty weather. I probably wouldn't go for the EXC ones again, the sidewalls feel a bit delicate. The tread feels properly soft and gummy though. 🙂
Bonty XR-Mud is availble in 29" flavour. Possibly not quite as aggressive as a trailraker, but the upshot is its not a death-trap on anything that isn't deep mud.
Bonty Mud-X is the closest to a Trailraker.
Maxxis Beaver is less of an out-and-out anti-clag tyre.
For mixed conditions, Beavers are my favourite. For clag-fests like The Chilterns, Mud X is better for the worst of it.
hmm, Ive got some 26 inch Mud-X's and didnt find them any use, if anything bogged down quite a bit.
Will look at BEavers and Spec Storm Controls.
Many thanks

If they're anything like the 26" ones, they [b]are[/b] a death trap on wet rock, however.
