Surprised nobody's mentioned Specialized Hardpack, or were they rubbish?

I have a pair of Z max black new in my Tox and the only thing I miss is the wide, today all are 2.1 or more and I use to assemble 1.8 wild grippers or 1.9 Schwalve like the one in my marin.

But the ones I would like to buy again were the Tioga Psycho II grey and amber walls like the ones the Scott pro racing 1995 equip and match any grey frame

I emailed Specialized a couple of times regarding this, but never received a reply. They made a batch of amber wall folding Ground Controls for the 25th Anniversary Stumpjumper, so they are clearly still able to do it.

The Hardpacks were available in 1.5" and 2.2". I'd like to see both reissued, along with the GC's

Hopefully we'll get some advanced notice if this ever happens, so I can sell my vintage stash before they become worthless!

I do wonder if Onza have the capability to reproduce some of the older tyres, as they're a different company now

True, but they make them in 29inch, but the logos don’t look anything like the old ones.

It’s no wonder Terra1 don’t get the uk license or something and reissue via their suppliers.

The Terra1 T2 tyre is the one I'm waiting for. They look great.
