How is the puncture protection on the race kings ?
I will tell you after Big Sugarā¦lol
I have flatted them at Leadville when riding aggressively and not purposefully taking good lines. Worst one was when i tore off a side knob and then couldnāt plug it.
Iād settle for Race Kings too if I could find some!
Took the Burts off and rode again on 47mm pathfinder pros. Harsh ride but felt solid and confident again.

Plenty availableā¦
Also:
Iām running 650b wheels, so I was able to pick up the RK for $55 from TFB.

Not sure where you are, but they ship fast to the US. Shipping isnāt cheap, but I usually order 4 tires at a time and canāt get them cheaper locally.

Report: TB 2.1 Speed are really fast in pavement, but also rear tire wears fast!

Thatās probably my biggest concern with these. Iād really like to try them but at $100 a pop it is an expensive experiment for something that wears out so fast.
Worth stocking up. 4 plus shipping is about $200 US.

Yup! Iām in western Mass and have had a few orders delivered here. Takes less than a week (comparable with domestic orders) and the prices for Schwalbe/Conti tires canāt be beat.

Been wondering what the fattest tire I can for in my Cruxā¦.Sofia is running a 2.2 up front, undisclosed tire in the rear.
What is biggest tire anyone here has fit in a Crux?

Lance Haidet had 2.2 front, 47 rear.
I just received but havenāt yet mounted some 2.1 Mezcals. I will let you know next week.

Yeah, Sarah Sturm is running a 2.2 Renegade and a 47 Pathfinderā¦.but I know you can go wider than a 47, just not certain how much wider.
Will be interesting to see how the Mezcals work out!!

Thereās always a chance it was one of his pranks on people, but Keegan posted a reel of his set up. 2.4 aspen on the front and 2.0 ikon on the rear.
Pretty sure the Crux uses a different fork than the Divergeā¦.but that is TIGHT!

Crux fits 2.1 Thunder Burt upfront with no problem.
I ordered a 2.2 Fast Trak and 2.25 Severe for the front to see if/how they fit.
Will keep rear on 47mm Rhombus (to pair with Fast Trak) and also ordered a 50mm Ravager (to go with Severe) for the wet muddy winter season.
So many tires 
2.1 TB on Crux fork
