Just gone rigid on my winter bike & I'm looking for a 29x2.5 tyre to see through the next month or two.
Many thanks

2.5" is an odd size, might have more luck finding a 2.4" or 2.6"?

Got a pair of Bobby nic 2.6 they measure 2.35 on a 30mm rim

I've just put a Maxxis Ardent 2.4" on mine - measures 2.5" on a Stans Flow rim (29mm I think).
Only £30 too, though not the most resilient to sharp rocks I'm told.
Spendier, but Goodyear are now doing MTB tyres, and in 2.6". I have some gravel tyres from them and they are really good quality rubber and construction. https://www.merlincycles.com/goodyear-e ... source=PHG

Maxxis Minion's are available as a 2.5.
