Dit is goed nieuws ! die Rocket Ron's zou ik graag op mijn bike willen !
Schwalbe To Intro Two New 29″er Treads: We also were tipped off that Schwalbe is going to introduce two new 29 inch sized treads already in the catalog in 26 inch sizes.
The Rocket Ron and Nobby Nic are to be made available soon.
No word on exact sizes or when, but our guess is Sea Otter.
Schwalbe’s Markus Hachmeyer has this to say about the Rocket Ron: “This Rocket fulfills racers’ wishes all at once: Low weight and a lot of grip – both straight-line power and traction in curves – and it works just as well in wet or dry conditions. The lugs are widely spaced and provide a great self-cleaning action as with Racing Ralphâ€. (quote from Schwalbe’s website) Schwalbe’s Nobby Nic is its test winning tread design with a bent towards grip, but in typical Schwalbe fashion, claiming to have good low rolling resistance.
No word on what, if any, technologies Schwalbe possesses will be applied to these tires in 29″er sizes, but judging from Schwalbe’s past efforts we would not be surprised if they were fairly basic.
(Thanks to the 29Squadron for the tip)

De Conti Mountain King was er al in 29, dan kon Schwalbe natuurlijk niet achterblijven met de NN.
Hopelijk wordt de NN 2.4 wat breder dan de MK 2.4
