3 top quality 29er tyres for sale... The reason? I have too many tyres! Pair of Maxxis Minion DH carcass DHF 29 x 2.5. Front is a Maxxgrip, rear is the dual compound- as it should be. I ran these as an uplift/holiday tyre set but I’ve ended up with a set of dhr2s which work better for me, I don’t really need the full on dh carcass as I’m light and not usually very hard on tyres. Prefer to sell these as a pair for £35 for both. Maxxis Shorty 29×2.5 maxxterra exo. Just a really brilliant winter tyre, but, I’m addicted to super soft rubber so I’ve replaced this with a maxxgrip. OTOH the maxxgrip rolls like a council slab, this was a more sensible everyday tyre. Also pretty lightly worn, because of a complicated screwup where I accidentally left it in a mate’s van for an entire year. £25 Collection possible from EH26

This is my 2015 Orange 322, in just-refinished Fizzy Orange, the only valid colour. It's a size medium- fairly compact by today's standards, should be great for most teenagers or adults up to about 5'10, or for bigger riders who don't want a huge bike This has just been rebuilt and is literally unridden after getting a full repaint, new stickers, all new bearings etc back at Orange- the old paint had got ugly and I didn't like the colour. It's built light-ish but dependable, it's not an indestructible rock basher and probably not ideal for a big 'un or a really crazy person. Speclist is 2015 322 frame with Cane Creek Double Barrel Coil shock and 400 spring Boxxer Team spec forks (originally these were boxxer air, but coil is better so I converted them) Set up with red/medium spring, ideal for up to about 12 stone, recently serviced Saint drivetrain and chain device, with XTR cranks and DMR Vault pedals with ti axles Nukeproof carbon bars, Nukeproof warhead seatpost, SDG ti-fly titanium railed saddle, Funn adjustable stem Pro 2 Evo wheels with a Stans Flow Ex front (wider but a little less tough) and Flow rear (narrower but harder to dent). Magic Mary DH front and Butcher DH rear, set up tubeless Nearly new SRAM Code 4-pot brakes with brand new rotors (I took off my preferred formulas because nobody else likes them!) ODI grips Also included are a second Butcher, a Rain King dh, and a Dirty Dan DH so you have a wide range of tyres from dry fort william flat out to grim inners winter swamp. And a 300 and 550 spring so you can go stiffer or softer if you want- dead easy job to swap. Downsides- one pin is missing from the Vaults (oh no!), I was just too tight to buy a whole pack just to replace one :) It's just been rebuilt, which is good as it has lots of new parts, new bearings, discs and bushings etc, and completely new factory paint, but does mean it'll need a little bit of bedding in and setup as it does so. Lastly the CCDB while it's absolutely fine for now will probably want a service in a year or so. The forks are in great shape, but do have some paint damage, mostly on the left from uplifts- nothing functional. But otherwise it wants for nothing. You might want to pop in an angleset just to slack it off a little, but that's just a useful option, not a recommendation. I'd say don't buy this if you're much taller than me, say 6 foot and up, or if you're really heavy or a loon- it's not weak, but it's intentionally not built bombproof either. I raced it at fort william, no worries. But it's definitely more racey than rampagey. I'm a light person and I much prefer a lighter bike to suit, this should suit most people really well. If it's so good, why am I selling? Well, I just don't have the space for checks> 5 bikes, and after a bad broken arm last year at Dirt Farm I probably won't do much full beans dh in future! Getting too old for this sort of nonsense. My big-ass 29er enduro bike should be enough for everything I plan to do for the forseeable. Bike is located in Penicuik, EH26. I'm in the tweed valley often Delivery possible in central scotland, as long as you've got good riding nearby ;) I'd prefer not to post but will if the price is right.
