Maxxis 26" DTH - Back in Stock!
I just got an email confirming that these are back in stock at Jensen.

I figured that I'd post this for folks doing drop bar conversions and looking for a decent tire.

Are those nice? Do you have them? How wide are they on what rims?

I've got a couple sets from a few years ago. They're fairly nice. I have a set on the tandem, mounted on Rynolites. The other set has been mounted fine on old narrow mtb rims as well as some modern Mavic disc rims. I can't say I've noticed a massive change in size between rim widths. With the exception of a few bikes, these should fit almost any 26" mtb.

Oh, I'm sure they'll fit. I'm just wondering how wide they are.
It really confuses me how tires often give a width in inches and a width in millimeters, and they aren't quite the same. I have a tire marked 26 x 2.0, for example, that is also marked 48 - 559. So what's the width, 2" (50 mm), or 1.9" (48 mm)? Or something else, in that general area?

I would be interested in knowing what psi others use. I will be using mine mainly on pavement, with a bit of benign crushed gravel trails.
