I am actually running the Bontrager strips on my XCX rims, ad they fit great. Been riding all day and they are solid

They look good btw.

I rode and builded today. Pretty good overall ride, but realized my bike is actually pretty strong considering it's weight. I hit a few things bluntly and heard the rim hit...but no dents. Wtf.

I always freak out when I hear that ding noise.

I hardly hear it, but when I do I don't think twice about it.

Now...when I'm riding through a rocky section and I hear a loud ping noise...then I'm questioning shit.

My bad, I meant ping...

So the XCX rims were champs today. Hit some drops with some hack landings, railed some berms, hit some jumps. The wheels were actually noticeably stiffer than my other ones (could be a better wheel build).

And also was loving the tires, great grip!

Presumably you might be dinging due to lack of pressure? Didn't you say you ran like 15psi in the front or something equally ludicrous sounding? (to me!)

Also, my post about penises got deleted. It was more about xenophobia but then I guess that's inappropriate to point out.

20psi front, around 28 or 25 rear. This was me being a hack though.

sameCry I'm not entirely sure why though. I was just being patriotic lol plus I've said and read considerably more "inappropriate" things on here with no consequences...

This was in response to people thinking they weren't tall enough to utilize a 29er.

I am kissing the ass of 5'3". I am too short to ride a 29er. I feel on top of them like a road bike and can't throw one around like a 26"
