So what say ye?

Fail on the tire front
Maxxis aspens - not in NZ yet
Maxxis crossmarks - out of stock
Schwalbe racing ralphs - out of stock

I have a new crossmark sitting here, you can have it now and replace it when the new ones come in if you want.

If you dont like how heavy the continental race king is you wont like the crossmark @ 660g.

yep, but you can go round corners with Crossmarks! :butbut:

My crossmark is 600g, which isn't that heavy in the scheme of things.
Kenda SB8 is 570g and a raven is 540g.
That's the difference between a poo and a really big poo.

Good news

you looked at the kenda smallblock 8 2.10 - slightly lighter than a crossmark and more like larsen in tread patters (suse is running one on the rear and a speshy captain up front)

p.s. Big ups to Niner Bikes NZ, Blue Shark and Chickenman @ Bike 75

any idea what something like this would cost to build?

Al at niner bikes would be the man to talk to. I'm sure he can put you in touch with your local niner dealer.

I must get my niner rebuilt up now I have all the parts for it. Wasn't thte smartest move buying a non ss version though :blush:
