29″ Python TR
Hutchinson did confirm the 29×2.0 Python at Interbike. Latest word is it will be produced (only) in a Tubeless Ready version.
“We plan to make the Python 29″ in TUBELESS READY. This means that Python 29″ will be able to be installed using FAST’AIR tubeless latex on a UST compatible rim/wheel or you can mount this tire (with tubeless beads) onto a normal rim and use a tube. To be clear, there will only be one (version) but this Tubeless Ready tire can be mounted tubeless or with a tube.”
Ramblings of a Tire Junkie
They are just rubber and nylon treads. Why do they fascinate me so much?
So many ways to put them together.
Such a light and flexible structure.
But once attached to a rim and filled with air they can support great loads and take incredible abuse.
The only thing that connects bike to ground.
Without the tires a bike is useless.
