Staying under the PON HOLDINGS umbrella (big shoutout to all my multi-billion dollar, multinational corps! Holla!!). Iago has more steeze than Wheezer has wheeze. He's filthy on a bicycle.

@plustiresaintdead: "Motorcycle" when justifying price, "pedal assist" when justifying riding that trail you're not supposed to be.

Yes!!! You got this, Alicia! Keep it up. You have a lot of people that have never even met you pulling for you and sending the good vibes!! 2 wheels, one love!!!

Really disappointed no one asked about the dog attack mentioned in the comments on the IG post. Those SC trailbuilders are a greasy bunch so maybe he was just mistaken for a delicious snack.

@Jules15: Huh? When? Are you thinking about the Enve failures? Just cause they both start with E they are not the same brand, Eh!

@edthesled: my understanding is they go a ton of OEM spec with their lightweight low end alloy rims on bikes that ended up with single ply tires and getting used extensively in bike park situations. Thats a receipt for problems no matter what brand.

This reputation is from the older products a few years ago - the new stuff is really good. Commencal/100% has been on their carbon rims for a while and word on the street in Snowshoe from them is that they broke less rims than anyone for those races.

Marin is crushing it.

@raceface: What tool interface is the self extractor cap? Not the crank bolt, but the cap itself. thx

"The tires never wept sealant, but they would drop considerably more pressure over the span of a few days compared to Maxxis." - Ive never found this to be brand specific but rather individual tire specific. Ive had sets of Maxxis, Schwalbe, WTB, e*13 and others where one tire seeps air faster than the other. Verified to be coming thru the sidewall using a spray test. Once again, maxxis gets some strange benefit of the doubt for an issue all brands actually deal with. Do the side knobs tear off on these before actually wearing out like they do on the assagai?
