I remember racing on 1.5" specialized hardpacks, and some really skinny Ritchey Z-max, the brick red ones. :)

I don't think I went quite that skinny (Vredestein S-Licks on the road for commuting doesn't count) but they were less than 2" that's for sure. I do remember buying a 2.3" "downhill" tyre - maybe a Tioga DH? or something for the front of my rigid SS to make up for lack of suspension.
Punctured it during a team 24hr and swapped to my hardtail anyway so didn't really use it much.Tioga Factory DH 2.3"
I bet there's road bikes out now that would fit that DH tyre :)

Snap. I used to use them. 1.7" if I remember, for general trail riding. Basically just glorified cross tyres, but light as fuck and surprisingly grippy. Suffered from a lot of snakebite punctures mind you, thoroughly unsurprisingly.

I think I have bigger tyres on my road bike at the moment that I raced XC with.
Now following this guy coz a non-cycling friend knows them through a workmate or something
