[RBW] Re: Tires for my Hunq

[Takashi]

I recently bought Continental Race King (Race Sport) 29x2.0.
I will write about them on another thread (tire test and impression thread) 
sometime, but I don't have time now.

To be brief, their tread pattern is more off-road-oriented than Thunder 
Burt, thus less smooth (but acceptable) on pavement.
They seem to roll well both on- and off-pavement.

Some on-line reviews say that they are vulnerable, some say durable.
I have yet to judge their durability.

Super Motos are great tires.  They are very fast on the road and float well
in the dirt.

However, based on your dirt-biased riding, I'd recommend the Thunder Burt.
Its knobs (especially on the edges) will help you climb out of ruts that
the Super Moto may slide down into.

The Thunder Burt

is
lighter than the Super Moto

as well.

You might check out Kenda Small Block 8, too.  The 26" versions have been 
my long-time favorite for the conditions you describe, and they now appear 
to offer a 2.1" 29er version.

Can't say enough good about the Burts. I took them off my Salsa for a bit, 
need to get them back on!

[RBW] Re: Tires for my Hunq

[Leslie]

FWIW, I love the Clement MSO's in 700x40.   Not as wide as you're wanting, 
but, they're great on my Rom (as long as I don't overinflate my rear).

Yes. Either would be great, presuming your Hunq is the green edition with 
the greater clearences. TB's give slight knobby traction which makes a big 
difference on cambered dirt (packed or loose). If floatation is critical, 
the SM's would be great. The Compass tires in a 700 x 2.1" on these trails 
and roads and see how I do, then shift to Smart Sams for winter. Until then 
it's TB's for me! 

With abandon,
Patrick

Wait a minute. Compass makes a 700c x 2.1

[Deacon Patrick]

Oops. My brain and fingers disconnected and I missed it in my proof read. 
My apologies, Daniel. No. Compass does not make a 700x2.1" tire. I wish 
they did, and IF they did I would love to try it and see how a supple tire 
with large contacts area did on what I ride. Given what the 38 Barlow Pass 
do on my QB, I can only imagine! Please forgive the unfounded excitement.

With abandon,
Patrick
