Surly 650b Knard Tires For Sale

[B Sloma]

Some kind of hoarding impulse must have taken over me, as I bought more of these than I needed.  

These are 60 tpi folding tires and pretty lightweight for what they are.  The two that I weighed were 412 and 423 grams.  Mounted they seem to measure a true 41mm and the wheel diameter came out to 673 mm, 5 or 6 mm more than my other "38 mm" tires.  I was able to mount them tubeless successfully.  Mounting with a tube overnight made it easier (recommended).

I think it is good, solid tire.  It doesn't have the same nuanced ride qualities of some of our other 650b tires, but it costs much less, too.  I think it would make a good winter tire, if you don't need or want studs.  It would make a good all season tire, too, as the knob pattern makes it pretty swift on the pavement.  Also, I would expect their longevity to be good based on reviews of Knard tires in other sizes.

Would like to get $40 per tire plus shipping.  PM me if interested.

Bumping this thread, was about to post a new Knard subject but remembered it was here.

Another plug for these tires, I really like them!  They are saving my urban winter commute, enough knob to go confidently through the slush but also keep a grip on the road when I need to take a lane and keep up with traffic (the bike lanes are mostly unplowed or plowed over).  And I was pleasantly surprised to find they fit under the fenders on my conversion.

So yeah someone buy this guy’s Knards.
