FT: 700x50 Soma Cazaderos for something wider

[Jeremy Till]

Probably a long shot, but up for trade is one used pair of Soma Cazaderos in the 700x50 size with tan sidewalls (tubeless compatible). I bought these used from a list member thinking they'd be good knobbies for my erstwhile early Hunqapillar. Now that that bike is sold I'd like to trade them for something that more fully utilizes my Clem's more generous tire clearances, something in the 700x55-60mm/29x2.2-2.3" range with an XC or gravel type tread pattern and tubeless compatibility. I'm somewhat agnostic on suppleness vs. protective casing, especially with tubeless tires.

As far as I can tell the previous owner had these set up tubeless so there is some sealant residue inside the tire and mild tread wear, more noticeable on one tire than the other (I assume that was on the rear). I only seated one tire on my rim to check out the sizing but never added sealant, a tube, or rode them.

If you have a pair of tires in as-new condition that you'd be willing to trade I'd be happy to throw in some cash or other extras into the deal to make it fair.

Hey Jeremy,

Sorry for the delay. I hope I didn't lag too long.
I scored some 29x2.4" Maxxis Ardents, off David Banzer from Treetop Bags I believe. Had'em on his Clem, doing what you say, maxing out the tire clearance.
I was going to try them on my Atlantis but I already see they won't fit without shaving'em bald or something.
It'd make a lot more sense to trade with you. Wanna trade? Pic included. They're a little dirty but appear to be in darn good shape (as I received them).
If you (or anyone else) wants these but don't have the Cazaderos anymore, I'd be interested in other tires. Basically anything 48 mm wide and above, in 26", 27.5", or 29".

Kinda wishing all wheels & tires were one size (27.5" or 26")

and my Atlantis could fit that size at 2.4" wide or maybe even 2.6"

Hi Matthew, 

Thanks for the offer, but I actually had already found another member to whom I traded the Cazaderos for a pair of Schwalbes. The Ardents look like great tires (especially love the tan sidewall) but I'm trying not to hoard too much at the moment.   

Best,

Jeremy

Hey Jeremy,
I just saw this now. No problem. I'll put them up to the group and see if I catch anything.
Wishing I didn't miss those Super Yummies!
Happy Schwalbeing.
