Weights checked after removing the (almost) worn Maxxis Rekon+.
New Magic Mary 27.5 x 2.6 = 1350g
Worn Maxxis Ignitor 27.5 x 2.8 = 980g
Specialized Butcher GRID 27.5 x 2.8 = 1136g
Vitt Mezcal new(ish) 27.5 x 2.6 = 860g
Then salvaged the sealant from the removed Mezcal and applied it into the Magic Mary. It felt very unsupple and hard to handle. So much that I had to even get the magnet out to confirm it's not wired! It's not thankfully.
After reaching this stage and a broken Pedros lever I decided I need the hair dryer to give a bit of warmth. No joy and even with the valve loosened it's just too tight. Bwforw heuting the finger too much or breaking the other two levers I've given in. The Specsh can go back on for now and maybe I'll get another Magic Mary but in 2.8... Maybe I'll not risk it and go for a Wicked Will and sacrifice a bit of trail holding.
To be fair, it is DH specific but I've never seen a tyre this tough. Not even the DH Maxxis in 2.5 (which weighed about 1200g also). Oh well...
Least some trainings been done fettling the tires.
