Jenson occasionally has stupid deals on tires... I once got 12 3c dhf's for $12 each.
I don't understand how they profit from that...

That's like 85% off.
They don't. It's freeing up room for new product that they can make a profit on.
Exactly... the profited off of the 10,000 they sold before those. Now they're just clearing shelf space.

Destroyed a minion ss exo today, used a dynaplug to repair the hole in the tread (worked with two plugs and orange seal) but it still needed a tube as the sidewall bead was shot by the rim and wouldn't seal. Hopefully the massive supply of Schwalbe tires I got from Jenson for 10 bucks each hold up better.
That last bit makes me skeptical, and the fact that they are schwalbe....

schwalbe make awesome tyres. particularly the SG ones.

Excellent, I got 10 hans dampfs in various casings, and 6 fat albert snakeskins arrived in the mail the other day so should be good for a while, haha all were 10 bucks each and tubeless ready with free shipping. Some are super gravity and some are snakeskin. Figured for 10 bucks each may as well stock up... 8 for the price of 1 haha.

All they have left is pacestar and performance in HD

Still some 2.4 fat albert snakeskins available

Currently looking for a 130-140mm bike to replace my nomad as i want something more playful. Been trying to decide between a yeti sb5, evil calling, 5010 was wondering what your guys opinion was on any of these as I've only rode the 5010

Graphically, the SB5 is brilliant.

Yeti or evil would be one hard choice. I think.

I'd go evil because I love my Insurgent. I don't really have expirience with any of the other bikes you talked about but if I were to buy a 130-140 bike, I would almost surely buy the Calling.

EVIIILLLLLL. Calling has the capability to hang with bikes with an inch or more of rear travel, yet still playful as hell. Its not the lightest trail bike out there, but pedals, and sprints quite well and the weight is all near BB so its not noticable.

I really dig the process, they just pedal so terribly. Recluse is another good call, tho I know of a buddy who just broke his frame...
