you have a fever or something?

Kind of.

But really, I can only afford one right now, and I'd rather have an XC bike.

[kidwoo]

I've got a specialized enduro SL
XTR brakes, sram x.o shifters and derailleur, brand new xt cranks, pushed rp32, sunline bars, mavic 819 rims built up on wtb race light hubs, hutchinson barracuda tires, thomson you're not actually still reading this thinking I'm serious are you?

[pechelman]

i was reading that thinking you were crazy for offering that
but i guess i knew that already before reading this
but really youre not so crazy afterall

or are you?
my head hurts

oh
which barracudas are you running?
front and rear?
likey?

[kidwoo]

Cuda on the front with a specailized something or other on the rear (only there because it's the only tubeless tire I've found that I don't rip holes in)


I'm in love with the sideknobs of the cudas but they messed up the angles of the center knobs. This is fixed with the piranhas by pretty much flattening the center knobs all together. I've got two of them sitting in my garage. The cudas squirm under braking because those center knobs cut like an arrow into the dirt rather than cupping it and holding it. There another one that's not quite a dh tire but definitely beefier than most xc tubeless options. Those sideknobs work great in super loose dust and mud but are pretty much overkill on almost everything else. That applies to both models.

thanks
which cuda though?
2.1 airlight, 2.3 something something, 2.3 MRC?, and then i see a couple ust models in those sizes as well
im guessing the 2.3 mrc/something something tho

im going to give this whole tubeless thing a shot soon
just bought a spesh 2bliss for the rear to try on this roval rim (fast trak)
we shall see what happens...
if it explodes im blaming you for talking it up to me earlier when i asked
;)

Specialized started making their tubeless tires thinner last year. I can't vouch for them because I haven't used them. The old ones were bomber though.

So I leave town and within 4 days everyone is trading in their DJ for an XC? WTF? I'll buy the parts. Maybe. There is a sick DJ park here. Psyched! Call my ass...

I'm on one of this seasons 2bliss Eskar tires on the rear. 2.3, fairly light, low rolling resistance, decent grip, sidewalls seem pretty stout of course now I'll probably rip a giant gash in one on my next ride.
