Simple question, which should I buy for my rear tyre? I am looking at Kenda Nevegal 2.1" or Conti Mountain King 2.2". I ride mostly South Downs area, so I will be dealing with hardpack, soil, mud and roots (no rocks). If anyone has direct experience of both I would be interested to hear the pros/cons of either. I have a set of Panaracer Trailrakers for full-on mud, but whichever tyre I go for it would be helpful if it could still handle a little mud without too much complaint and (ideally) roll reasonably well too.

Thanks!

Interesting, I must admit that looking at the Mountain King I didn't think the tread would be aggressive enough for anything too muddy. All the best for the SD double, what time of year are you planning on doing it?

Anyone know if you can use regular trailrakers as a tubelss tyre on UST rims?

Sorry for the thread hijack.

Yes I always use sealant, just wondered if the bead would click into place nicely. I've never tried none UST tyres on my UST rims you see, young fella me lad.
