After a big wide 29er tyre. Widest I have found is a 2.5 Maxxis.
Is there anything else to look at before I look at a 29er plus tyre?
Ardents are big !
Chunky Monkey is on the same carcas as the 2.4 ardent, very big tyres!
Ardent 2.4 on a 45mm dually is large!
Surly Knard or Maxxis Chronicle are 29 x 3! <- Doh should probably read the post properly...
Thanks chaps!
...a slightly wider rim will make a huge difference to any tyre, try a 35mm Blunt or 45mm Dually
Obviously without knowing what you're currently using...
Currently have a Crest but it looks like a wheelset change might well be needed.
The 2.5 minion is smaller than a 2.4 chunky monkey at least in 26 version
Schwalbe Magic Mary is a chunkier 2.5 than a Minion 2.5. try a German website for the best prices - circa 37 euro for a super gravity version
yeah, wider rim will make a huge difference 😉
Currently have a Crest but it looks like a wheelset change might well be needed.
I top out at 2.3 on a Crest - look up about tubeless tyre profiles support, there's a link for it somewhere. Basically the more of the tyre is not supported by the rim there more likely you are to get a burp.
You don't want burps.
