The 2bliss 29 captains are a great tread and generally roll and grip well. The ones I used had paper thin sidewalls though (definitely NOT for rocky trails!).

Thanks for the input man. Though the shop I work at is not a Spesh dealer, my buddy works at the Spesh dealer, so hopefully I can get hooked up.

For that you get the Control Casing which is a bit thicker.

Has anyone here seen any pictures of the 2012 Scott Scale? I've heard there are some of it on the web but I haven't be able to find any.
