davejh:
The TA is a pretty solid road tyre from limited trying and talking to people but it is heavy and the rotational weight of a 36er tyre is very important.
Before committing to a tyre swap, have you considered switching out the inner tube for a foss or a stretched 29er tube. This will save ~300g which is about half what the tyre swap would give.
The good thing about the TA is that like the coker tyres it is a 4 ply. It is less likely to puncture than a nightrider (2 ply) and actually rolls smoother with the slicker tread. They are also apparently good for ~30,000km.
Also if wanting to run at higher pressure is why you want a different tyre, the TA can be run at 40psi at least.
Hi davejh,
I ride a tubeless TA for almost a year now (see my adventure on making it happen at: I've decided to go tubeless ).
