Hello 29er folk
I just found a list of 700cc tires at the mtb forums that I updated, and bolded the tires I know have used on 29" unis… Will probably update it with links to corresponding review threads on these forums. Feel free to jump in if you see any inaccuracy or have more information on those tires that haven’t been reviewed yet (not like the Big Apple, the Kenda Klaw & Nevegal, and WTB ExiWolf & Weirwolf, for example.)
