@ryanandrewrogers: can you use Shimano mineral oil for these?

Specialized will warranty them. Just bring them into a dealer. I had a bad tire with plenty.of tread left and my local dealer swap them with a new one, no questions asked.

@henryquinney: I've been a huge Smiths and Morrissey fan since the 80s. His voice and Johnny Mars guitar melodies are pure poetry. He entertains me and I really don't care whatever his opinions are. I don't know him personally or will I ever. He's an enternainer, not my friend so whatever controversial things he says doesn't effect me. Guess I have thick skin because I rarely get offended. I got to meet him once and he really appreciates his fans. For what its worth, I am Asian and dealt with racism. I don't let it consume me and try to help people understand we all people no matter what color or race we are. Here's a quote from Bruce Lee that has stuck with me "Under the sky, under the heavens there is but one family. It just so happens that people are different." I personally do not think Morrissey is racist . He's definitely an eccentric person, like most celebrities...

Why no 31.8 option?

@RadBikeBro: agreed, options are great. Had a couple friends wanting 27.5 bikes last year and couldn't find any local shops that stocked them. The sales people were pushing my friends to buy 29ers. My buds ending up getting their 27.5 bikes online instead which also saved them money and time. Maybe shops sell more 29ers is because that's all they stock...

Canfield Balance is a great option.
