Product Information

Full details

The Schwalbe Nobby Nic 29 x 2.35 is a versatile all-rounder tyre engineered for mountain bikers who demand reliable performance across touring, XC, and technical enduro terrain. Its primary advantage is the ADDIX Soft compound, which optimizes the balance between aggressive grip and rolling efficiency, though riders seeking dedicated lightweight racing speed may find the reinforced Super Trail construction slightly heavier than competition-specific models.

FAQs

Is this tyre suitable for pure mud riding?

While the Nobby Nic features self-cleaning tread, it is an all-rounder; for deep, heavy mud, a dedicated mud tyre might offer more grip.

Can I use this tyre with inner tubes?

Yes, although it is designed as tubeless-ready, you can install it with a standard inner tube if preferred.

What is the recommended tyre pressure?

Pressure depends on rider weight and rim width, but generally between 20-30 PSI is standard for a 2.35-inch mountain bike tyre.

Is this tyre directional?

Yes, look for the rotation arrow printed on the sidewall to ensure proper mounting for optimal traction and braking.

How long will the ADDIX Soft compound last?

The lifespan depends on riding frequency and terrain, but generally, the soft compound provides superior grip at the cost of faster wear compared to harder compounds.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty seating the bead

Ensure the tyre bead is positioned in the deepest part of the rim channel while installing and remove the valve core to increase airflow when inflating.

Sealant leaking from sidewalls

Ensure the tyre is fully seated and rotate the wheel to allow the sealant to coat the inside of the casing thoroughly.

Excessive vibration on pavement

Check tyre pressure; higher pressures can increase harshness on tarmac, though this tyre is optimized for trail surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This is a folding, tubeless-ready tyre. For the best experience, ensure your rims are taped with tubeless-compatible rim tape and use a high-quality sealant.

  1. Check your rim inner width to ensure compatibility with the 2.35-inch width.
  2. When mounting, ensure the bead is seated properly in the center channel of the rim.
  3. Inflate using a high-volume pump or air compressor to seat the bead firmly against the rim walls.
  4. Periodically check for sealant levels and remove debris like small flints or thorns from the casing to maintain longevity.
