Default Panaracer Rampage 29er Tire for faster rolling tire

I have a Rampage 29er tire with one ride on it. Im looking for a rear tire with good traction and less rolling resistance.

The Rampage is a killer front tire, but rear not so much.

Anyone in south OC have a Captain, Igniter, or something else that would work .

Thanks

Check out the Bonti XR's 600g and cheap. Instock @ The Path

Good for dry hard pack but watch out in the mud.

Ouch... I'm picking up 2 new 29 Rampages today. Then again, I need some serious traction out here, so we'll see how it goes.

I'm actually a fan of the rampage in the rear (switched to the rear direction of course)....

But then again I climb slow....

I'm thinking of trying a conti mountian king after I wear the tread off my rampage.

If you *really* want something that rolls nice for the rear get a Hutchinson Python.

No, you can't have mine

Default Tires for trade

I have a Maxxis Ignitor 2.1 new condition, a pair of Bontrager Jones, and a WTB Velociraptor (70%) worn. I'll trade them all for your 2.3 Ramapage.

I thought they discontinued the Nanos.
Do you know where to find them?

Never mind it was the Moto raptors I was thinking of.

It has more volume than an SB8. It's likely 1/8"-1/4" taller.

They no longer make the wire bead version of the Nano. Brian @ The Path purchased the last ones in exsistance and buried them in his back yard or something. He won't give them up

Why would you want the heavy version of the Nano anyway?
