Video: Iggz and Fogel - Not Enough Chips
(Password protected)
Two best friends, aboard the S.S. Almost Made It, set out on the vessel's maiden voyage into the vast desolation that is the icy white-capped waters of Lake Tahoe. Their time in these rough conditions was protracted and disconsolate, but through the endeavours that they faced, they learned one valuable lesson: they suck at sailing.
Now add a disastrous storm into the equation and you get... well... disaster. The two companions fought back, but didn't have the vigour to conquer the forces at hand. Miraculously, they somehow washed up next to each other on the warm sandy shore of mountain bike paradise South Lake Tahoe.
Unsure as to their next move, they decided to try to fit in with the locals and explore the breathtaking trails that the Sierras had to offer. With smiles spanning the cheek-pads of their helmets, and hands numb from high-fives, they proceeded to get dipped on the high-speed single track. In fact, the two got so dipped that there just may not have been enough chips.

If we as consumers let the industry keep doing this, they'll take the piss forevermore. And this is from someone riding 650B!
As stiffness is "over rated", the second choice makes a lot of sense. For bigger 29 wheel, you may need more stiffness, but for smaller 26 or 27 ones,I'll take durability over stiffness.
Freakin' Turner better be sponsoring your azz.
I've known these two for awhile now and they are far from a couple of kids that go out and destroy trails. They have put in a lot of trail work in Tahoe, Jamaica and Santa Cruz/Aptos/Soquel. So what if they roost a couple of turns to make the vid cool. They are ambassadors for the sport and they have progressed a ton in the video department, as well.
Keep up the good work, on the trails, in the video department and on the riding front.
That was a fun bike. I have a gallery of bikes I have owned on my profile page. You can find a pic of the S-Works there. I added the blue Rock Ring you see in the pic. And yeah, paint chipped easily off that frame as Ned says.
