I have 2.35 front 2.25 rear NN and grown to hate them
they don't bite around the turns and seem finicky when you lean the bike at all
switched to Fat Alberts and ride was night and day, they are a little bigger but the nob are in the right places IMO
what are your thoughts on the 2.6 NNs?
So it's only on the front, I'm running a Racing Ralph 2.35 in back (which measures out at 2.4) and it's on a 29er not 27.5.
I have both sizes NN on bikes so side by side photos (not to scale) 2.6 vs. 2.35 are in order. Left 2.6 Right 2.4
The 2.6's knobs are both taller and thicker but as you can see way closer together. They're much less squirrelly than the 2.25 or 2.35's. But I do wish the outside knobs were a tad farther apart.
This photo was taken at approximately the same distance as each other so it's a better apples to apples comparison. Same orientation 2.6 left. 2.4 right. You can see, aside from the volume, the knobs are way taller.
So the money question.... how wide? 2.62 @13 PSI on 36 internal rims. Full disclosure, I run them at 17-20 normally depending on location and conditions.
I don't ride in wet conditions so the lack of mud clearance on the 2.6 doesn't bother me but with all the sipe'ing, I expect it'll grip wet roots like a fatbike.
