Nokian 29er Extreme 294s

[JonathanGennick]

Does anyone know anything about the availability of Nokian Extreme 294s in the 29er size? My LBS looked them up on QBP's site, and they show none in stock until November 30th. Does anyone actually have these tires for sale now?

Demand seems to have overwhelmed supply here. The first batch disappeared from Finnish bike shops in something like three days. The next batch from the factory is estimated to arrive around the middle of November.

I have absolutely no idea about foreign allocations or parts of the supply chain pertaining to anywhere abroad, though, so Americans can and must read this how they will, really.
