Decided to try and put some 29er MTB tyres on my Genesis Vagabond and do some offroad probably on South Downs Way and maybe some bits of North Downs. Doubt I'll ever be doing serious offroad miles, just a bit of fun now and then.
Apparently the max clearance is 2.1 inch wide, but I think I've seen builds with wider tyres. Not having a front mech might make the difference.
Anyway, I've no idea about MTB tyres. What would be a decent tyre for this kind of terrain? I'm guessing steer clear of light weight racing tyres...
