IME you gotta be pretty careful ordering a Maxxis cuz On Maxxis.com you will find 9 incantations of assguy and thats just the Assguy

which is why I quoted a maxxis p/n , i have stared at the...

I still had the site up so i looked at it again to figure out how i fucked that up and all the Maxxis part #'s are missing that last zero which they put on the next line of the spread sheet I...

I'm looking for a 2.50x 29" Assegai in DD ( Maxxis product # TB0009740 ) which are expensive as fuck

if anyone has any leads ?

tires are terrain dependant, in retro I could have gone with a different tires cuz it was so dry but then it might have rained a bunch if i got dry tires

imagine that eh ?

i did have a new defective high roller maybe 18 yrs ago on a new bike which was replaced

but otherwise no complaints

well Maxxis do come OEM on a lot of bikes, I was on a large group ride where I counted 8 out of 9 were on Maxxis

perhaps they just lack imagination

My tire was not as worn as the pict in #3881 above but it was the mostly torn side knobs that were more worrisome than worn out center knobs cuz they would fold on some rock slabs I often ride and I...

Its been dryer than fuck here so i have been able to put off changing the MinionDHR II and its still alot of fun, but it would suck to crash in the bush like some cheese eating school boy SO I put a...

Yeah its been dryer than fuck all summer so maybe the Assegai/ minion are < optimal but by the time i order new tires it will be raining again so the dude abides

E-bike has an odometer otherwise good luck

I get 1100 km out of Maxxis Assegai/ Minion DHR2 combo and the knobs start chunking

I pack a 29" tube which should cram down to 27.5 for my mullet, I got tire boots or use a granola bar wrapper

back in the day the tube in juniors 20" bike failed in some catastrophic way so I...

I've just burned thru my 2nd Maxxis DHR2 DD, this last one seems to be wearing/ chunking faster than the 1st one,

Maxxis are more expensive for sure but they work well for BC and I'm not ...

these guys get the tires free and they know what they are doing

or they wouldn't be getting the tires fo free

Consider if you rode yer old 26er like that ^^ you would be face surfing the trail so there is a certain amount of self preservation going on but the new geo handles it, I also slam my seat all the...

I just bought the same Assegai/ DHR II in double down that came on the bike and i probably will again

they wrok very well where i ride, they inflate very easy with a floor pump and seem to hold...

Also the DD casings don't leak stan's fluid thru the side wall like other tires I've used and they go on so easy,
Santa Cruz spec'd the 2.5 Assegai/2.4 combo DHRII on their E-bike which lasted...

mounted up the Assegai, every tire new and old out in the shed ( assegai & DHRII ) has the WT designation but not an old Agressor

man does the maxxis ever mount easy on a WTB i30 rim

I've heard of it, never done it ^^

re-thinking the Fat bike purchase I don't think I would buy it again for snow cuz I've probably already been outside all day skiing, so I'm not as interested...

One would assume but I don't know about the 2.6 ?

I can tell you how to figure out if you have an Assegai 29x2.50 WT cuz its painted on the tire

I don't know how old the WT thing is, so when I...

I wasn't noticing anything telling me what WT on a maxxis means so good find ^^

I got a new one here and you can tell if you have a WT cuz its right next to the tire size

so " 29x2.50WT "...

Bullit came with 2.5 assegai front/ 2.4 minion rear in double down which I thot worked fine so I got the very same tires cuz some of the knobs were ripping at around 2000 kms

The rear tire always...

For all you syrup suckers on this side of the poutine curtain I picked up a new 29"x 2.5 Assegai in DD 120x2 to freshen up that front tire which now has > 2000kms and so the side knobs are looking...

DHRII was starting to rip a few knobs so i got another one, now scoping around for a front Assegai to replace the old one, man is that particular model expensive, but still I just buy maxxis instead...

You probably needed to smoke either more of it or less of it

Must be bad combo ^^ I put that tire on a WTB rim and it was the easiest tubeless setup I have ever done just put it on and start pumping

If it wasn't so easy I would get a tire on by tying a...

I wasn't interested in seeing if another brand works as well as a Maxxis so i just replaced the back tire with the exact same tire the bullit came with, a new DD minion DHRII on the WTB rim, I...

25% off at CRC got another Minion DHRII DD for the back wheel ... don't mess with success

yesturday someone posted about the 20-30 yr old purple anodized seat post on his wife's bike

Bullit came with a 29" assegai 2.5 in front/ 27.5 DHR II 2.4 rear both in double down and i think I would just buy them again when i need new rubber cuz I'm impressed with how they grip

but then...

plugs have been used to fix car tires ever since they quit using tubes back in about the 60's, working at a gas station I used to plug tires back in the 70's (radial tires were still new/cool) and it...

they are calling it a Minion killer

any body used the mazza ?

you mean you didnt look at the bike and see that you needed all this shit and/or they didn't give you a quote to read ?

10 of us rode Moab/Zion last week, different brands but we were all told to use a setup tubeless with 4 oz of stans/carry a couple of spare tubes/patch kit and not one flat in fact no breakdowns

How much air were you running ^^ and have you considered going on a diet?

[QUOTE=skaredshtles;5770398]GTFO with this "Nevegal" talk - those tires are fucking USELESS.

tubeless tires used to weigh 200-ish grams more than the same tire in a non-tubeless versions because there was more rubber in the sidewalls so there is a weight cost to a tubeless tire

but i...

IMO the big question is how much air do you lose ?

I used stans in Nevegals back in the day and that tire would lose 10lbs over night every night

I'm getting the weeping but I'm not losing much...

I have usedd orange which IME worked pretty much the same as stan's

my aggressor leaked fluid thru the sidewalls and lost a little air,...
