    Did you weigh ‘em with or without air?

  3. solitary says:

    Thank you, this helpful information! Hi from russian fatbikers :)

  4. Tony B says:

    Origin8 Devist8er really do feel that much heavier that the others having ridden them now for a few days. I didn’t think I would notice so much but I do. They are still very nice.

  5. seanintaos says:

    tread is lead, as in the metal. Lose rotating mass with alloy nipples, thin tubes and a 1/2 drill bit. Or ride a road bike.

  6. Fart Butt says:

    Kevlar bead vs Wire Bead on the Surlys???

  7. Sven Haamer says:

    Haven’t seen Kevlar beaded Surly tires in the wild yet. Don’t expect much in the way of weight savings though. As soon as they are available we’ll update the list.

  8. Fart Butt says:

    Ultralight Nates>?!

  9. Mike says:

    UL Husker Du’s 1222g and 1228g

  10. Craig Smith says:

    Dang, I had a pair of 26X 4.0 Innova Spiders and didn’t weigh them. I gave them to Karen, maybe she could weigh them and report.
    Internet searches lists them at 1350 grams, But they felt much heavier.

  11. Cagapraos says:

    Hi, from Spain.
    I know a little more about weight but, would you please help me with measures?.
    I am thinking in fitting a pair of 26 Mavic Crossmark with Surly 3.0 Knard tires in an On One Inbred 29.
    Has anyone this tires and measure the wideth in a normal 26 rim?
    Thanks and Cheers.
