After a long hiatus I'm back riding - and I'm feeling a little out of the loop. So I thought I'd get some feedback from those of you who have been riding. And who love to geek out on gear.
I've got two rides on my new machine (2013 Enduro frame - 26") and I'm looking for some rubber feedback. I've got Specialized Purgatory controls on there (the 2.2 version - which are similar to a 2.5 Maxxis in width it seems) and my first step will likely be to take them tubeless on Easton Haven Carbons.
I've been a Maxxis guy for a long time and I'm a fan of the 2.35 minions on an AM bike. I am one of the few who likes the rear on the rear as well but I'm looking to branch out.
So I'd like something around the volume and width of the 2.35 minions, good in the wet, easy to set up tubeless and to keep running well, aggressive tread that digs into corners and actual weight under 700 grams. Most of my riding is here on the Shore and this will be my one bike for the season (aside from testers etc.).
What do you have for me gear gurus?
