@droptop: I think a AKA/Saguaro rear/front mix would be great for your described terrain. A bit heavy-ish for XC racing, but it would be great for all-around use.

I would maybe try a Bontrager XR-1 rear and mate that to a Maxxis Aspen front for a great XC race weight set up,

I just tossed on a wire bead saguaro from a take off for my front tire. I loved it on my local trails (hardpack, with some loomy soil, and also a good bit of rock too). I previously used a maxxis ignitor up front, crossmark in the back. (hardtail). Other tires i have used are the nevegal (in 26), ignitor (f&r), small block 8.

I am looking for a new set of tires for XC racing. was considering an aka/seguaro combo, tubeless. I ride and race (occasionally) in central texas. mostly hardpack, with some loomy soil and a few rocks. occasionally a rocky/babyhead course. any suggestions?

GLG: Well, for one thing, I have heard that GEAX is terribly slow to get things to market. (Obviously) The response here from Oderus seems to be spot on. I’m hearing that another tire, the Barro, will indeed be the other 29″er offering and that Interbike will be when the tires are announced, if not shown to the public. Most likely these will indeed be ’09 products.

Any updated news on the TnT Saguaro – or potential other offerings from Geax?

Geax is smart in that there entire 26″ mountain line is available wire bead, folding, TNT and UST. The folding and TNT are both sold at the same MSRP! If they get the weight down just a touch, I agree that the folding offerings will slowly disappear in favor of tubeless ready.
