Continued thoughts from previous post (with break for late dinner in between).....

I think I will keep the Ignitors on her bike for now, and try to improve her pedaling efficiency and power through tweaking seat position, etc.  Putting Jim's barely-used Karma on the front should help a wee bit too....  And then I will for sure try tubeless for her bike -- it would be a perfect candidate.  It is about 5 years old, but a really well made and well spec'd rig -- just not sure if the rims and tires are tubeless ready.  I will check 'em out. 

As for my 29er tires, I will start snooping around now too.  There are Bontrager Jones ACX on there now -- stock with the Fischer Paragon.  I really like their performance on dry hard pack, and their grip on rocks, roots, etc. is excellent.  But I do not like their cornering -- definitely do not inspire confidence in their hold, and feel mushy and squirmy.   Time for a change soon....

Thanks again for the advice, Jim and Josh.
