My apologies to Doomanic - I quoted his response by mistake in my reply above when it was Gary's comments that were the issue.

That’s the problem Alistair , Gary is on just about every thread dominating with strong opinion telling people they wrong , and I think there’s a lot who don’t bother to get envolved for that reason , its beginning to dominate the forum and it’s getting quieter .

Just came across this bargain more of an xc tyre , I was looking this make recently at a display van and they looked like good well made tyres

You’re spot on kernow, lots of people will not engage with a forum when their opinions and questions are not treated with respect.

MM 2.6 Addix soft apex e25 looks like a front tyre winner to me, got one on the way

I put a 29er 2.35 on my analogue bike about 2 years ago and it has been off for about 2 weeks since, brilliant all rounders IMO and I don't find them particularly draggy either.

I've ended up putting Michelin AM Force 2.35" on the front and rear of my Haibike hardtail, and I've gone tubeless for the first time. Tyres give a much more cushioned ride than my previous 2.1" winter tyres, and give good grip in the dry stone trails I've used.
I've also bought a AM Wild 2.35" which I plan to use on the front in wetter conditions.
I don't ride trail centres much, more into relaxed bridleways and forest roads.

Yeah, £7. Mate wanted one too so ordered 2, £44.50 each.
Interesting , chatting to guy with a kinevo at the weekend , he had changed to 2.6 magic Mary and said it was lots better than the original 2.8 butcher less drag more grip more speed ? Makes choosing even more of a maze , but a pattern emerges , everyone seems to love the Mary in a 2.6
Would like to see a 2.6 Mary next to a 2.8 Minion to see if there is much difference in width.
What’s the verdict on the new Addix compounds, are they more durable than the previous offerings?

As it happens I have a 2.8 Minion DHR on the back so will be able to do a direct width comparison to the 2.6 MM on 30mm rims when ot turns up.
Unfortunately I won't be able to do any sort of ride review for another 6 weeks as I hit a tree stump and high sided myself off my E-Sommet head first into a tree at the weekend. Lucky to be stretchered away with a fractured vertebrae to be honest!

Wasn’t you at Boltby was it? There was a very similar incident on race day......

Ta, dry trails and missing a four day trip to Wales is a bummer but more than offset by still being able to walk!
Ouch! GWS!
Ouch Dave that not good , hope you recover well .
I’ve been trying to gather a few width measurements of various tyres , the 2.8 butcher on the kinevo was 73mm , my 2.6 high rollers are 68mm that’s both on 35mm rims
Iam keen to find out what a Mary measures ,
Oh and the aggressor I have I lent to daughters boyfriend as a spare for the EWS , he ended up using it as they needed bigger tyres , and said it was a very good tyre and popular at the event , so great to get some decent feedback on that finally .

What internal width rims are they on Dave?
Scaring me now! Hope you make a speedy recovery, which trail was it?

It was heading into the purple jumps but was actually just a crash caused by inattention- i didn't see a tree stump at the edge of the trail, hit my pedal on it really hard and got highsided headfirst into a tree in the blink of an eye. Was unlucky how it all lined up but also could have happened anywhere

Same set up us I'll be running then ccrdave - I have the 2.8 3C Exo minion on the back and the addix soft ebike specific MM on the way. How are you liking it?
Im not running it like that I have two minion dhr's on my bike, the MM 2.6 are on my wifes bike
she really likes them, shes going to do the Malverns ebike enduro with them
It worth considering if you put a minion on the back and the 2.6 MM on the front you will steepen the head angle a little due to the slightly smaller diameter of the MM. it is only a tiny bit though.
I will put the 2.6 MM's on my bike if and when it gets wet again
