WTD: Fat bike tyres

[AlasdairMc]

Hi there,

I'm looking for some fat bike tyres please - what do you have?

I need one 26x4.0 something, preferably tubeless ready, tread for trail use
I am also after a pair of 26x4.7 / 4.8, again tubeless ready, hopefully Minions but interested in whatever else is out there.

Thanks

All my secondhand tyres are knackered so nothing in stock. However https://www.bike-discount.de/en/buy/sch ... set-531238 is a bargain and JJ's are a good all rounder. Minions cost a bomb new but are aledged to be really good.
So go on then what did you get??

im no fan of the minions, not worth 20 quid each imo

Out of stock sadly. I’m looking for 4.7/4.8 or thereabouts, just because the frame I’m getting takes them and I loved the bigger tyres on my last fatbike.

I bought a second hand Kinetics steel frame which is based on Stooge geometry, 135mm offset rear so it’ll take a Rohloff if I decide to go down that route. XACD Truss fork up front. All I really need for it is tyres and cranks as I’ve got the rest spare.

Schwalbe have moved to this here 'addix' compound whatever the hell that means so there are a few bargains around on bog standard JJ's. If nowt second hand turns up worth a look as they are a goood all rounder, the lite skins are light and they survived the Highland trail so are reasonably durable....

Sounds like a good machine

Not interested in the Fast Traks, sorry. I don’t think the cranks will fit the B.B. I’ve got either but will get in touch if they’ll work.
