asked by: a guest I'd like to put these on my Surly Big Fat Dummy. The build comes with WTB Scraper i40 ST TCS wheels. Will these fit? If not, can you recommend a slicker tire that might? The bike came with 29 x 3.0 Dirt Wizards, but these are too knobby for everyday riding. Thanks.
A.
anwered by: canteau You can probably put them on the rims, however they might lower the bike enough to make pedal strike an issue.
Vee Tire does make a Speedster in a 29x2.8 which would be a better choice.

anwered by: canteau Aside from a solid rubber tire, no tire is going to be 100% flat free. The Maxxis Hookworm does have a durable casing that is designed to mitigate pinch flats, and the thicker nature of the rubber does help with punctures, but there is not a flat protection belt like some of the commuter tires we sell from Continental and Schwalbe.

I love these tires and treefort bikes provided them at a great price and great service with fast delivery! I am building a custom GT bicycles timberline 29" 24 speed mountain bike to be used in an urban environment which is why I chose the hookworm tires as they are not knobby dirt tires they're perfect for asphalt and concrete.
Summed up: Great tires, great price, and fast shipping... Thanks to treefortbikes.com
Yes, I would recomend this to a friend.

I have used on both my Surly Ogre for summer touring and my Giant Talon 29er for winter riding. Smooth on the pavement, corner well, manage snow but also robust enough for dirt roads and trails. They are big and bouncy!
