Last winter i was on 27.5x3.0 studded Wrathcild wich i loved.
That bike was sold so in august i bought 2 29x2.8 studded
Terrene cake eaters. They just went on so i cannot yet comment about traction.
I just feel cheated they are 2.6
Should i get some real 2.8(wich ones?)
Should i get some small 3.0(wich ones?)
That bike will do it all, sidewalks, streets, roads, bike paths and yes trails that are
firm enough. With covid many just walk in our trail networks so soft does not last.
Thanks for your input.

I just studded a pair if 29x2.8 Cake Eaters, I’ll be mounting them up today probably…curious myself on how they will perform. What width of rim are you using?

29mm, i am leaving for my first real trail ride of the season

The Cake Eaters will stretch with use.

Although, running them on rims that narrow they aren't likely to hit 2.8".

The CEs are great all-around tires.

45N Wrathchilds are available in 29 x 2.6". Also good tires, but smaller than your CEs.

Thanks for sharing. I checked and i have room for 3.0 so if i am not satisfied in a month i will look for other options. Today we had perfect conditions so any decent tire was fine. Cold + sun + snow + singletracks = great xmas gift

Schwalbe Ice Spiker Pro 29x2.25. Unreal traction on solid ice and hardpack snow. Follow the directions about breaking them in on pavement. Loud on pavement but they roll fine.

Schwalbe Ice Spiker Pro evo 29 x 2.25 are night and day over 45 north that are like riding downhill tires with studs

I spent the last 21 years without a car. So i pedal about 350 days ice, snow, minus 35.
I DO WANT 2.8 or 3.0 studded in 29.

I believe you. My only wish with the Ice Spikers is that they made a 2.5 version with the same light and fast casing.

ISPs are horrible in the snow, the carcass is just too skinny and the knobs a weird tapered shape. I’d also take a 2.4-2.6” 29” ISP!

Can't have everything.

ISP's are fantastic on ice.

If I'm riding snow I'm on a very different bike than if riding ice.

Try to find these in 29x2.8. Also there’s a heavier wire bed (non sl) version of the same.

I am curious about the feedback from Super E?
For my part i wish they would be better in off camber areas.
The studs retention is excellent for my pair of 29x2.8 cake eaters.
