Hans Dampf in 26 are a good grippy tire but heavy. In 29er they'd be too heavy for my tastes. Might have to hit up LV to see what they have. I have used Mountain Kings in black chili and liked them just fine.

Debate? Bikes are made for riding not pushing.

99% sure those ones at LV are all 26". LV was saying no 29 conti's hit canuckstan in 2011 or 2012. I went HansD in the end
