Morning all,

On my 26" hardtail, I have a Maxxis Ardent LUST (snigger!) on the back, and a High Roller LUST on the front.

I absolutely love this combo, so have just been looking to replicate it on my 650b full susser, but they don't seem to do the LUST tyres any more, and instead there is a bewildering choice of EXO, TR, DH and other stuff. The q&a sections for them on CRC suggests that other people are just as confused as I am as to what this all means!

Can anyone suggest what I should get to have an Ardent on the back, a High Roller on the front, in 650b, running tubeless?

EXO is sidewall protection
TR is tubeless ready

LUST stood for Lightweight UST, which was another tubeless tyre.

Get on to Planet X and see if they are selling the On-one Smorgasbord tyre in your sizes, they are made for On-one by maxxis and are superb, cheap as well.

Yep, EXO if Maxxis or ECKSO if on one, same casings. Smorg Trail Extreme front, Enduro folding on the back.
