word, was on the fence over 2.35 or 2.5. The minion 2.5 super tacky's i have now are good but my Schwalbe 2.4 Hans Dampfs on my trailbike are larger. Sounds like 2.35 MMs will be a nice increase in footprint and grip. You running a tubeless setup?

Tubeless only in the rear. Ive experienced stiches in my arm coz my front blew. My fault, pressure was kinda low when I crashed front heavy and sideways on a kinda rocky step down

So far its been problem-free. Zero flats.

So how's she treating you so far? Looks so beastly haha

BTW - how do you like the MM/BB tire setup? Are you running them tubes or tubeless? Thinking of switching to MM front and rear UST...

Only 3 rides man. One at N*, then 2 short shesh's at Ptown. I love the MM, the BB is "ok" as a rear tire imo (no go as a front tire for me). BB drifts quite a bit but its predictable, I just want my rear to stick to where I wanna put it. MM is possibly the best tire Ive ridden so far. No joke. But 2.5's are big, Im gonna get 2.35's when these wear out. The 2.4 BB are the same size as 2.5 MM's.
MM's just bite, they are amazing. Get Gooey Gluey/Vertstar for your front, and harder compounds for the rear will do.
