To all you 29er's out there!

A small block running at low PSI should be OK for stoney or rocky trails (like those pictured), ride OK on the road with a bit more air, and cope with some mud (although this would be the obvious weak spot).

Yeah the only problem it that being CX tyre they are not durable by nature.

If you have half your house on the back, traction should'nt be a problem ;)

Ha it looks alot worse than it is. The rucksack on the back has one change of cloths and a sleeping bag inside, none of which are in a compression sack, I could have and should have used a backapck about half the size but wanted rummaging room.

Maybe its personal taste, but I'm not a fan of the slick central area, knobbly edge, tyre design. I just dont like the way they corner on the road, or loose grip when the mud is to hard for them to sink into, off-road.

Me neither my preference for this type of mixed tyre is an inverted tread of some sorts.
