Thanks for all the imformation. I decided on the Maxxis Ignitors and after my ride at Sycamore today, I'm pretty happy with them. They hook up better and roll faster than the Captains and when I figure out my brake issue I'm sure I'll OTB.

I needed a Tubeless 29er tire--the selection sucks for 29er tubeless tires. It's almost non-existent.

I went with a 2.2 Bontrager Jones ACX in the back and a 2.25 Bontrager Jones XR in the front. I was worried when I got them because they didn't look very aggressive. However, the grip has been just fine and they roll awesome!!

Worth a try if you want to run Tubeless.

XR: http://bontrager.com/model/02864/en

As you can see, the knob profile is small, but traction is actually pretty good:

I have been running Ignitors on all my 29rs, front and rear! Pretty solid!
BTW, we'll match any price you find on the Ignitors! Just let us know where you find the pricing.
