Review: Roval Control Carbon Wheels
“54 tooth ratchets aren’t as durable”
Tell that to my set that I bought used in 2015 and ridden since at a lean and strong 220lbs.

Review: Maxxis's New Forekaster Tire is Heavier & Better Than The Original
@millsr4: I see. I've only ever tried dual compound of either of them as a rear and was ~20lbs heavier the last time I ran a DHR so that could have something to do with the wear. 3C only for the front for me.

Review: Maxxis's New Forekaster Tire is Heavier & Better Than The Original
@bigwheels87: I never really liked the Aggressor. It does everything “ok” but not great. It’s barely faster than a DHR but brakes and corners worse and weighs just as much. Dissector is better in every way. I’ve been on DHF front/Dissector rear for a little over a year now and no plans to change.

Review: Maxxis's New Forekaster Tire is Heavier & Better Than The Original
@RogerMexico: they also last a long time. I’ve never gotten more than 500-700 out of a rear (Clyde) and I got almost 1,200 out of my last dissector

And how do they compare to a Dissector? The Dissector is amazing. Rolls way faster than a DHR, doesn’t brake or corner much worse.

What’s the Significance of the Specialized Direct-to-Consumer Move? It’s Complicated.
@mknott9: The margins as a percentage are WAYYYY higher than with cars. I worked at a dealership and the profit on a brand new luxury car is a couple thousand MAX. As a percentage of what a luxury car costs that is miniscule. And often times they're sold at cost or even below cost with the dealer hoping to make it up in finance (extended warranties, GAP coverage, accessories, etc) or down the line as a service customer.

Cut out the middleman, charge the same, pocket more profit.
