    Meh. Now I'm sort of leaning towards the durability of the Flow MK3. Plus the $250 saved could be spent on other upgrades.

    That's a good choice. I'm debating between the MK3 and LB wheels right now. I've had a set of LB - my front wheel is still strong after 3 seasons, the rear cracked after running too low a tire pressure.

    Saw that.....I run higher pressures these days and never pinch. That said, I've thought of some sort of pinch protection like that before. Might be worth trying.

    Check this out too:

    Huck Norris received. Ships from Finland, took a week. Biggest problem is they don't do Paypal, so my credit card got a brief freeze. Install was easy, made tubeless setup easiest evar. Will update if that wheel ever flats again!

    On MTBR they didn't believe me when I told them 26" would be back for 2017.

    Hahaha.

    That was my first thought too.

    Terrible fucking tires.

    I mean at least crop the training knobs.

    I don't think I've ever owned a pair of kenda's. Pic's taken from a recent MTBR post. They were not happy with the results of this experiment, no cornering ability.

    That looks like a recipe for disaster.

    Getting pretty close to ordering the Flow MK3's, can get a pair for a bit over $140 shipped. Sounds like Light-Bicycle is a bit backed up on their production?

    Decided to go with the Flow MK3's, and also upgrade the SB66 to full XTR 10spd, which is period correct for the bike and I think its nicer than the 11 speed stuff, should be super solid overall.
