I like damn near anything with wheels and/or an engine.

Interview: Talking About Tires With Maxxis, Schwalbe, Continental, WTB, & Others
I hate most Minions with a passion, but I agree with your statement about getting used to one tire.

2 wheel vehicle tires have to do more than 4 wheel vehicle tires. MTB tires are dirt cheap compared to even commuter moto tires.

If toughness was the goal, they wouldn't have used straight gauge spokes.

@rockandride6: Exactly. Why wouldn't these just be made in the same factory that is making Santa Cruz frames?

Pretty sure they are one of those brands like Mongoose or Huffy that sponsor riders who rider other brand bikes with sponsor decals applied.

Review: Maxxis's New Forekaster Tire is Heavier & Better Than The Original
@babathehutt: The old formula of Stan's did that, but so did the old Orange Seal. I had Orange Seal blowout the side of tires back in 2014. After a LOT of convincing my mechanic got me to try Orange Seal again this year and it was okay. Still dries up pretty fast, though. I've had better luck with Muc-Off, Bonty, Hutchinson, and Conti Revo.

SRAM Quietly Launches New DB8 Mineral Oil Brakes
I decided to do no Shimano parts on my last build. I went all SRAM or SRAM compatible, except on brakes. I couldn't quit mineral oil, so I went Magura. I love the power and the modulation, but I rode some new XT brakes a couple weeks ago. Damn, I forgot how good Shimanos ergos are.

10 Retro, Rare & Rad Bikes From Sea Otter Attendees
Their last gen alloy bikes didn't need to be 157 to be stiff enough, either. That last alloy Mach 6 was a good bike. The Trail429 would be on my short list if they offered an alloy 148 version, (As it is, the Ripley AF tops my list.)
