Yea it cost me a lot of money! Definately feels the part though, best bike I've ever owned. Changing out the DTH's when they wear out/die, I've had 3 or four punctures in the few months I've owned them, gonna get something a little beefier. And changing out grips but I have no idea what to get.
Don't worry about the tires, they are amazing. Grip well on every smoothish surface. The punctures were from glass and thorns so its just normal wear. The only reason I'm switching to the machete is because the DTH got a hole from a crazy thorn puncture so I can't reuse it.
Yeah I don't think you will be dissapointed, and if anything just try and run a beefy tube for extra reassurance. I would run another one but I just wanted to try something bigger as the profile of the DTH is kind of skinny(should come to no suprise its more of a race tire)
