Unfortunately, I don't have anything to trade. All are in use at this time. .02 worth

I've got:

29x2.5 (allegedly, it looks and rides like a 2.1) WTB Wierwolf LT
29x2.2 Schwalbe Racing Ralph
29x2.0 Kenda Slant 6 (Pair)
29.2.1(I think, maybe a 2.2? Possibly a 2.0) Bontrager ACX (Pair)

All are fair game. I think Ben "I'm a total tire-whore, guys" Applebeast needs to get in on this action.

What are you looking for anything in particular?

I'm interested in the Slant 6, are they the new rubber that is tire sealant tolerant?

I've got some 26" Kenda Nevegals that aren't doing anything. A 2.35 in great shape, nearly new really. I've also got a well used 2.35 and maybe a 2.1.

I roll my tires til they are thread-bare, then i take em off and hang them in the garage. I keep them just in case of an emergency. If there were interest in well worn-out tires, I'd post em up here though!

I don't know if they're "sealant tolerant," but they're holding air. They've been inflated for about 10 days and don't show any signs of air loss.

$40 takes 'em, I can't think of anything I really want to swap for.

You still have these? I've been interested in trying them out.

Have any luck running them tubeless? Is this just 1 tire or a set? I might be interested if Anthony isn't. I definetly don't need it and Melinda will probably shoot me but I've got a tire buying addiction lately.

super fast rolling tire, not a great "mud" tire due to the small knobs. I have two but Im keeping one, prefer to run it on the rear. Retail is $69.99

I ran them tubeless on Mavic Crossmax wheels. The tire isn't a "tubeless" tire just standard one but nevertheless thats the way I run all my mtb tires and have never had a problem
