I have most bits for this bike ready in a box. It currently sits in the living room as a rolling chassis with the hunt wheels from my charge. I do have a new set of bling 650b wheels for it, another great job by Arkane, but I am not settled on the tyres.
As you can see in my sketch I was lusting for some Ultradynamico Mars Race 27.5 x 2.2?? Tyres but besides the fact that they are a ridiculous £90 each they are also sold out everywhere 🤷🏻♂️.
If I can’t have grey I think I prefer all black over tan walls for that massive tractor wheel look.
The Secan has clearance for up to 27.t x 2.4” but I think I’ll stay in the 2.1” - 2.3” range.
A tyre I loved on the charge is the Schwalbe G-One Allround. The micro tread pattern is really fast rolling but also offered enough grip for everything I was riding with a gravel bike. I just discovered they exist in a 27.5 x 2.25” version. Solid candidate.
I also can’t complain about my Teravail Cannonballs on the Raleigh so another option would be the 27.5 x 2.1” Teravail Sparwood. Last but not least I could off course get the Ultradynamico Mars JFF 27.5 x 2.2?? in all black for the
streetdirt road cred.4 Attachments
