gear review / warning
Panaracer Cinder 2.25 tires
If you favor starightlining these tires are for you however if you ever plan on turning I sure hope you are prepared for a nice big bite o the shit sandwich! seriuosly these tires are just a few side knobs away from being one hell of a good do anything tire, except for lightweight XC racer, but becuase they lack anything on the shoulder they are just short of deadly. they have these nice big soft sticky blocks which lead to excellent staright ahead speed and braking but they don't go nearly far enough over onto the shoulder and as a result they wash out redicuoulsy quickly and without warning. deadly ! I'm going back to Continetal Vertical Pro's ASAP, they're not as cush or squishy but you can lean'em and they will always let you know ahead of time before they decided to let go.
my two cents..."Do the interns get Glocks ? "

hey buddy,
when you put the conti's back on, try running them reverse of the printed rotation direction. I think they're better this way.

why do you descend like a 12 year old girl with a fear of heights then ? seriously though I will give that a shot, do you reverse on the front and back both ?

Hey you two - I'm going to grab Bohman's Short Cut to Two Elk to Minturn on Sunday if either one of you is in for a fun one.
I think I'm going mad.

Is that the ride where you start off the top of old Vail pass road and then drop down into the back bowls ? If so I road that once, nice singletrack. unfortunately I am out of town this weekend or I would.

Two elk is a sweet trail, no doubt.
Alas, I'm supposed to head down your way this weekend to hang with my better half.

The Nevegals are awesome tires, as are the IRC trailbears (especially for the price) but they are pretty heavy.
